I used to use sulfur but it never worked for me, always stuck to bp. But what I want to say, and I've been preaching this to no end, is to stay off antibiotics. First, they are temporary fixes, and ...

I don't see how a herbal medicine will help. You need a topical treatment. Have you talked to a derm?

@kelbell812@Blue83 I really appreciate what you guys have written. It's like you're thinking what I'm thinking. Same with me, once I started to use dan's regimen (around 10 years ago) and my skin st...

I've got the same thing. I've had it ever since I can remember. I honestly can't be bothered with it.

I would ditch all my acne medications; continue to treat my skin like gold as I do now; feel free to look people in the eyes (I'm shy but clear skin would boost my self-confidence); feel the freedom f...

I have to agree with the above poster. I can't just stop worrying about things, including having acne, and I do have a perfectionist personality. Trying to change the way I think to change how I fee...

I thought I'd chime in here, after reading through this thread. Dan's aha is effective at keeping my skin exfoliated. But I can't use that on top of even a 2.5% bp, let alone the bp and any moisturi...

I can tell you many stories of family and friends making comments on my skin, and each time it would just stun me. My sister telling me, you have bad skin. A friend saying, your acne's better. As t...

I still struggle not to pick as well but I'm able to restrain myself better than I used to. I used to do this chronically. I just tell myself, if you pick you'll likely get a scar, which is true for...

I wish I had seen this sooner. I was put on antibiotics by three different derms when I was a young adult. I had told the second and third derm that antibiotics did not work, and that each time I go...

I have been living my life. It's primarily due to getting older and not caring as much about what anyone thinks. But I'm still on the self-conscious side. It's hard to help. I do have some mild sc...

I have to say, that having suffered with acne since age 12 (I'm in my forties now), all the maintenance, trips to the derm, always looking for a better product, sunblock, etc., always having had peopl...
