  What's your diet like? I've found that dairy is the devil! Try cutting out all dairy for a few weeks to see what happens. Yeah I eat quite a lot of dairy products now that I think about ...

I've had two Tandas. I find that they start acting goofy (not wanting to hold a charge) and shut down (overheating?) rather quickly. At times I've thought I saw improvement of my acne, other times I...

I believe I have PCOS as well. I feel that my testosterone is elevated although I haven't had a panel done yet. I know I had an ovarian cyst before because my gyno discovered it with an ultrasound. ...

I'm a 35 year old female who has been married 5 years come next March. I started developing severe cystic acne and those godawful scars when I was 27. I was seeing someone off and on at the time who...

  I've been on Tri-Sprintec since last November, I believe. I think it's helped me more than other pills I've tried. As a matter of fact, I did a lot of searching and there was a very detaile...

  I taught middle school for 8 years. My moderate to severe cystic acne started when I was 27 and in my 3rd year teaching. I feel as though this cystic acne started due to stress from a trauma...

  I've been there too. Not from my parents, but from an aunt who ALWAYS felt the need to voice her opinion about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to do with me! Told me I needed to style my eyebrows di...

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for years and it didn't seem to do jack squat for my face. Got off of it about two years ago because I lost my insurance and didn't want to pay $130 for it. My cycle got...

A few years ago it began to dawn on me that dairy products were influencing my acne. I noticed more acne as I was drinking milk every day. I stopped drinking milk and now use almond milk. After mor...

The look of some depressed scars may be lessened with dermal fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, etc. I've had a few different types of fillers injected into my scars throughout the years and while I'v...

I personally think stress plays a HUGE factor. I've had countless injections and IPL sessions over the years. The cortisone injections atrophied my skin, leaving me with depressed scars (just as th...

I definitely agree with CarpeMomentum...talk with your derm or general physician about spironolactone. I would LOVE to have a full hormone panel done (but don't think I can afford it right now, espec...

@jabberwocky80 - Those are definitely some rough situations that you experienced ;(. I think the worst was the one involving your in-laws...they should have defended you and put that girl in her place...

I have felt as though milk contributed to my acne. I switched to organic milk, but that didn't help as much as I thought it would! Eventually I switched over to almond milk and don't miss dairy milk...

I have developed little clusters of bumps from the right side corner of my mouth down to my chin. Through some research I believe my issue is called "perioral dermatitis" and is somewhat related to a...

Have you considered a dermal filler? I've had limited success with Restylane. It has helped fill in a severely indented scar that was the result of a cluster of cysts and a cortisone shot. Like you...

I taught middle school for years, so much to my dismay I was constantly in the spotlight. I developed cystic acne (and the resulting depressed scars) that forever marred my previously smooth skin due...

I've had Prevelle Silk injected in a huge indentation that was left over from a cyst that my derm injected with cortisone. It lasted 3 days. Had Restylane injected after that with a Botox needle. ...

I have one along my jawline from an old Fraxel Re:store burn. I've had injection after injection. It's flattened some and DEFINITELY not as hypersensitive as it was. It used to hurt when water woul...

I say go for it, too. I've had several different types of fillers injected into my scars, including Juvederm, Restylane, and Prevelle Silk. Restylane lasted the longest, imo.   Oh, one more thi...

Very nice thread. Developing acne and the resulting scars have changed me in that I am able to empathize better than before I had acne. I'm very much aware of my feelings, moods, emotions...what'...

I've had two or three PDTs. Kind of sad I've forgotten the number, isn't it? That should let you know I wasn't overly impressed with the outcome.
