I really don't think anything would actually fade them faster... that would be topical stuff. But certainly eating healthily and getting good vitamins to support your skin's healing would be good. A m...

End of Pack Two One new spot on my forehead, started off under the skin as a large raised area and now it's coming to a head. Treating with BP. Maybe 15 clogged pores along my jawline and by my chin ...

Sunny_D, I didn't seem to have an IB with Diane, at least nothing major that I noticed. I do know that over the summer, when I was on a bcp that was making my acne worse (partly the reason I'm back o...

On my second pack, third week. I really love this pill. Okay, that sounds strange but seriously... it is a saviour for my skin (let's hope I'm not jinxing anything, haha). It's relatively innocuous ...

I'm on my second pack, one week left until the 7day break. Before bc I broke out in nasty cysts around ovulation. I'm at that point now and I only have one spot on my face atm, a small whitehead. In m...

Heitea, any time I did a peel on an active acne spot I didn't find it had any negative effect. Whiteheads seemed to dry up a bit because of it. It made the under the skin spots redder (as with the res...

I had a similar experience with ortho tri cyclen lo this summer. It threw everything about me out of whack for sure... acne, severe depression/anxiety, weight gain.. etc. I was a mess. This was after ...

  Hooray! I'm so happy for you   Aw thank you! I won't believe it till it happens, but at least now I have something to hope for in my life. Well I wish you all the best!

There is hope! I should finally get to try a low dose of isotretinoin in January if everything goes to plan!!! *fingers crossed* Hooray! I'm so happy for you

I actually started after most of my ocm purging was done. But I still had quite a lot of clogged pores around my face. They lasted maybe a week? I still use the chemical peels every week and I have no...

How did you degunk your pores? Did you breakout more then? OCM also ruined my skin completely! You can degunk using chemical peels. BHAs are good for this because they can penetrate into the pore an...

First Day of Pack Two Uneventful period, regular length etc etc. Came on the wednesday after my last pill. No breakouts. However, spots under the skin... really tiny cyst type things are swelling (eu...

was doing quite well the past couple months until the past 2 weeks, breakouts for daaays. I may be stressed, if so I'm trying to ignore it. Doesn't look completely awful but not great. Also, I don't ...

End of Pack One Well, I have to say that so far this bcp is a success for me! I'm very happy My ovulation/pre-period breakouts have been smaller this month. I haven't gotten an initial breakout as ...

I would be interested to know about this too. I'm on tetracycline 2000mg a day. But I am pretty bad about taking it regularly, actually. Anyway, my doctor wants me to stay on it for six months, I'm ab...

Not sure it did anything at all for me, other than break me out. It might work for very mild scars though. It is pretty soothing for burns and I know it has good healing properties. Unfortunately it...

Ice probably only helps with currently inflammed spots to reduce redness. The marks you have may fade a bit with it but they aren't being lightened by it in the long run, just temporarily. AHA acid pr...
