Anybody else on tretinoin? I'm on my 7th week, with the past two having experienced heavy purging. I've noticed that I usually break out during the day and I'm trying to rule out if it's because of th...

I have taken those measures and have seen improvement. I care, because I hypothesize that by switching to foods which have a lower GL, my acne will be less triggered. Numbers are important to establis...

So it's fairly easy to calculate the glycemic load of a food given its glycemic index. What if, however, you had two food items added together? Would their respective GL's be added to give the total ...

Something like this, though, is definitely going to leave a scar. I'll just ask my dermatologist.

I think it's kind of early to say what kind of scars they'll leave behind -- if experience is any indicator, at best, it'll just be the redness/hyperpigmentation, with some light scarring, but at wors...

Hello. Just curious -- are you speaking from experience? How do you know what you say is true? Where did you get your information? Not that I mean to be completely untrusting or anything, but it helps...

Alright, so I have some acne lesions (can't remember if they're nodules or cysts) but the key thing here is that they're somewhat inflamed, not enormous but still potentially damaging, scar-wise, and ...
