I had great success w/ Bactrim for years. Probably not smart for derm (or me) to keep me on in for years, but it worked and suffered no ill effects. I was taken off and it all came back. Its great ...

You were embarrassed to be by her, or embarrassed at the feelings you felt while speaking to her? I think a combination of both, especially with your statement that you feel you betrayed "your own ki...

You are correct w/ your assumptions on Retin A. You will purge, peel, and be red/irritated while your skin gets used to it. You must give the treatment a full 3 month benchmark to determine if it is...

I have zero experience w/ lasers but have always read that folks with darker skin may have hyperpigmentation issues after having a treatment done. I have also always read that these marks do fade in ...

lol i'm not advocating womanizing, i just think having regret is difficult. looking back, and wishing you would have moved on so much sooner. Just loved how that popped up in there so non-chalantly...

Acne has definitely been the source of all my depression, anxiety, and BDD. When Im clear, none of that is around and Im back to my ol self.

Check out the Emotional effects of acne section: lots of folks out there going thru what you are. Good luck

I cannot believe how many of you are telling the OP to stop whining or saying negative comments based on his feelings and views. He's allowed to vent and say what he feels. He's not hurting anyone, he...

  I'm really sorry to hear you are suffering with depression. It's great you're getting help though. One thing I have learnt over the past few years is that help really does help, though it may...

  Spending over an hour on your make-up but still looking thoroughly disgusting at the end of it all is really demoralising. I wish I didn't have to go to class today. The outside world do...

Ive used it for approximately a 5 month stretch, I find that helps to take the inflammation out of existing acne, but I didnt find that it did much to help prevent new ones from forming. I now use i...

  Hi goodz19, docs like to prescribe Ciclopirox Olamine (CO) because it reduces redness slightly. It never treated anything else for me. It's one of the useless things that doctors prescribe....

Im kinda new to this whole SD thing, and Im obviously not liking it. I discovered I had it because the topicals Ive been using for my acne for years suddenly started burning my face. I noticed scali...

Antibiotics have pros and cons. They can definitely help w/ your current acne condition. Often, you are unable to get control of things w/o the use of an antibiotic. However, the results dont last ...

I dont think you'd develop a resistance in the short amount of time of 2 months. For tough cases, you may not see full results of antibiotics for up to 3 months. Also, your BC may be contributing to...

Thanks for your reply underneath! Each of the prescribed things (apart from the current one) he has done for about 6 months, so hes not been swapping and changing. Accutane really concerns me as he a...

I've been on the regimen for about 2 years now (I'm 18) and my skin is getting worse by the day. Using benzoyl peroxide has annoyingly never worked well for me, I have never seen a significant improve...

I'm 25 and my skin is extremely oily. I've never met another person in my life that has oiler skin than I do. I don't think my acne will ever go away. Im 38 and I concur. Oil city over here. Blot ...
