I just wanted to share a little story with all of you. I am currently a 20 yr old college student and my senior year of high school I was pretty seriously involved with a girl at my high school. She s...

You're planning to go into medical school and you can't even handle acne? Really? If you want to stay inside and do nothing, then by all means do so. There are so many qualified applicants with and wi...

Sometimes it just feels like it's never going to get better. Four months into accutane and I'm forced to stop because of bowel issues. My family knows I'm depressed but they fail to realize that it is...

Nobody understands. Finally getting off accutane next month and my face is just full of scars and red marks. Hopefully I can start scar treatment 6 months after that. I really don't see myself ever be...

Beginning of month 4 and my face just keeps getting worse. Even though it's hard to say, I don't think there is hope anymore. I am not mentally strong enough to spend the next few years like this.. I ...

So I went to see the Dermatologist today and she says she is seeing improvement in my skin (end of month 3). Haven't had a cyst in 2 weeks but I still have some whiteheads and clogged pores. But most ...

So I'm on my third month of accutane and am starting to realize that my face is never going to be back to where it was before all of this acne crap. I'm starting my junior year of college in August an...

I just don't know what to do anymore. The first few weeks I was always in a good mood because I thought this was finally the end. It's about week 7 on amnesteem (80mg day) and my face is full of close...

I can't explain to all of you the relief I feel right now. My acne is probably the worst it's been in years but my new dermatologist just prescribed me accutane (amnesteem). For once I honestly feel l...

I truly don't see the point of trying anymore. Every time I think my face is getting better, another cyst pops up. My face is never going to the back the way it was before. With active pimples, scars,...

I feel the exact samen way. First night back at college and I am sitting in my room while all my friends are out. It sucks but we have to just keep hoping for the best. People care about you whether y...

How do I go about getting prescribed accutane in the US? Isn't it banned?

Hey man have you considered trying Accutane? My doctor won't prescribe it for me. She claims it should be the last resort and keeps putting me on different prescriptions that continually show no re...

Well I leave for school in two days. Looks my depression is about to multiply by 100. Sometimes I just sit here and wonder why. I get on medication after medication and nothing works. My family thinks...

I can't even begin to explain how depressed I am. In one year I've went from a 18 year old without a blemish on his face to a 19 year old with red marks, scars, and active acne. All I used to do was h...

So I was just put on Epiduo yesterday after 2 months on Retin A. I have been meaning to use the AHA+ moisturizer I received from acne.org but have been skeptical on how to use it. I don't want to put ...

So I was on Retin A for two months and my doctor just switched me to Epiduo. Which is a mix of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. I was wondering what I should expect? An initial breakout seems unlikely ...

I can't even begin to explain how depressed I am. In one year I've went from a 18 year old without a blemish on his face to a 19 year old with red marks, scars, and active acne. All I used to do was h...

Just seems like there is no point anymore. My freshman year of college was spent sitting in my dorm because I didn't want to show my face anywhere. Just when it seems like the acne begins to go away, ...
