Hey trenbrah, That sounds like bad bedside manner... Man, sorry she treated you like that! I definitely think you should find a different derm, especially if you want to do some kind of long-term tre...

^ Ugh I hate "you look tired" comments. I bet you look awesome... And I'm happy you're having a good skin day! It is so nice to not have that layer of unhappiness on top of (all the other) pains and ...

Hey! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad it's starting to work for you. Is isotretinoin off the table for you? Do you think your acne gets better when the Packers win? GO PACK!

Yes, thank you! The same hormones that give you your sex drive give you zits (that's why they show up at the same time), and masturbating isn't going to make you stop being horny (for long)... but it ...

Hey megabug. Love your username. You should definitely talk to your derm about this. Accutane is causing all kinds of changes within/underneath your skin that affect how it grows and heals, which is ...

Hey! I get that too. I think it's because we move that part of our face so much, but that's just a guess. What works really well for me is just slathering on petroleum jelly around my mouth before be...

^Thanks for sharing, Hope7! I'm so glad that the tazorac is working for your daughter and she didn't have to go through the IB

Hey! I am going to start Accutane soon. My nurse gave me a stern warning against waxing, and when I imagine the damage it could cause (nasty scabby ripped of eyebrow areas) I just don't want to risk i...

Hey acne sufferers and experts! I am curious about the actual mechanism behind the initial breakout associated with Accutane and other meds (retinoids?) I am mostly finding vague descriptions of the c...

I think when we look at ourselves with acne, the spots/cysts/scars/redness... is all we can see, and we overlook our lovely features. So most of it is in our heads, and other people are looking at you...

Hi! Diet changes, zinc, and milk thistle help me a lot. They have all been studied and shown effectiveness against acne, and it works for me! Topical vitamin B3 is really effective as well. Here's ...

Hi Kay, You know, I think the regimen could really improve your skin like it did before, but I agree with AthleteMan that it won't "end the cycle" and you will still be facing flare-ups. It's relativ...

Hey, I take this supplement for a ton of PMS symptoms and irregular periods and it really helps: [Removed] Lots of people take the main ingredient, chaste tree berry or vitex, to get their ovula...

Hi. I don't have any experience with BC nausea, but with any medication that causes nausea it helps to usually take it with food and water. Try to avoid taking it on an empty stomach and drink a whole...

Hi everyone. I often feel I need to get my acne feelings off my chest, but I don't want to bother anyone in my life with it. Heck, when I do bother someone with my acne feelings, I usually end up fe...
