I'm probably going to upset some people with this post. I read some posts often from people on here saying that we need to accept our skin, that our acne doesn't define us, yadda yadda yadda. I know ...

- All the time spent in the morning prepping your face with all the washing, topicals, moisturizing, and sunscreen. - Must place bandaids or acne patches on all the sores to keep them from bleeding...

Doctors know that genetics play a large role in the pathology of acne vulgaris. If this is the case, we should be doing lots of studies to find out which genes they are. We should be able to figure th...

Seeing a therapist might help but at the end of the day what I want is my skin to be clear. I wish the medical community would come up with a permanent acne cure already. That would be so much bett...

I know deep down I sometimes have some resentment towards my parents. I think I feel this way for two reasons. The minor one is that Acne has a large genetic factor and I obviously get my genes from m...

There should be medications that help with hormonal acne. You should see your derm to get a prescription.

Original OP hasn't been active forever a year. Hopefully everything is going well with her.

OP any new developments from the company?

I don't think the medical community should stop funding research into finding cures for other diseases. There is enough money to work on more than one thing. I just want some progress on our issues. T...

We spend billions trying to find cures for all these different diseases but I never hear anything about acne. It really pisses me off. Acne should be the priority for the medical community. While the ...

Bitter and lots of anxiety. It takes a lot of self control not to snap.

You should definitely find a hobby and join groups of people with like-minded interests whatever that maybe. On the other hand I would advise against the suggestion of going to church but this is just...

That is ridiculously expensive. They also said the fee cannot be used towards the first treatment. Does anyone have recommendations for Fraxel around Boston, MA?

My local skin care clinic will charge a $225 fee just to talk to one of their cosmetic doctors about getting Fraxel. Is that normal?

I'm considering laser treatment for my acne scars. I know that it isn't recommended for Asian skin because it can lead to hyper-pigmentation and discoloration. I'm hoping that a good dermatologist wil...

I'm fortunate that my acne is finally gone. My face has been clear for the past few months. Even though the acne is gone, I still can't get rid of this feeling that my face isn't normal and that there...

" asked me what happened to my face. " I would have answered "fucking puberty kid. I hope you don't have to deal with this shit yourself in 5 years." Yea I have always been a very blunt kind of guy....

My skin is mostly healed at this point (yay!). But I still have some areas with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. H202 is used as a bleaching agent and can whiten the skin but it is a very harsh ch...

Keep bugging your parents until they take you to a dermatologist or go yourself if they won't. Do you have insurance?

First of all, any reputable doctor or dermotologist will tell you that there is absolutely NO definitive link between acne and an "unhealthy" diet. I know someone is going to try to throw that study a...
