I have this problem too! I was thinking it was related to winter but I usually don't have such persistently dry lips in the winter actually. Anyway, things that have been helping are Lypsyl and Carmex...

  I don't think you'd need an antibiotic. I'm still taking one (somewhat irregularly) in addition to Diane. Bascially I think it is still useful for me because I have these really persistant cy...

I agree. Fish oil supplements gave my cystic spots on my cheeks and some acne on my shoulders which I'd never had before.

A woman said that she thought i am 15.. due to all this acne i suppose. The nicest thing is that it's "cute", all this hyperpigmentation of my cheeks looked like rouge Haha! My sister said to me on...

Well I hope you can continue taking it long term Seems your doctors should let you keep taking it if you really want to and since it's not a super dangerous drug. But I guess there are lots of legal ...

CeraVe mosturising lotion is good. My skin is definitely "hormonal" and this stuff is good for me. I'm not overly oily or dry but it gives the right amount of moisture and has that hydraluronic acid i...

I told men that I like their acne scars. Because it was true. Well I think I am not a scar- fetish weirdo, but I have met quite a few males, where scars added that extra- masculine appearance and it ...

I don't really look young, but people tend to assume I am because of my skin. Kinda shitty, but also kinda cool because I can get cheaper rates on things, haha! But one nice thing I can think of is t...

I've been on Dianette long term (over a year) in the past without any problems. If it makes any difference as to health dangers, etc., I was about 15 when I was on it, and a tny person (i.e. low weigh...

Been getting worried about taking a bcp again... am i doing the right thing? will this make my acne better or make it worse? will i get terrible acne after I stop taking it? etc etc. Trying to stay po...

I was worried about taking a generic form too. I'm on something called Teva-Cyproterone. But I compared the ingredients and they are practically the same, the only difference is the shape of them and ...

This may not be what is up with your face, but a few months back I started using the ocm. I had tamanu oil and rosehip oil and I sued them as "serums" to repair some damage on my face (old pih marks)....

Pack One, Week Two Lovely cyst on my cheek has come up, large and painful. This is my "ovulation breakout". Hopefully after a few months on bcp these will stop.

End of Week One No symptoms so far, i.e. weight gain, breast tenderness, mood changes, etc. Nothing that seems like an "initial breakout" so far. I thought it would be useful to list other things I...

Rosalie! I'm happy things getting better skin-wise

Wow! I am so hopeful that 50% lactic acid works as well for me as it has for you. My entire jaw is basically red with marks. It's terrible and very embarrassing for me :/

I've often felt that this site (not just any one particular thread) is a bit of a love / hate relationship for me Absolutely love the support and knowledge etc that I've found here, but at the same t...

Out of curiosity how long did it take to be effective the first time around My acne was a lot less serious back then (just "surface" stuff, no cysts as I recall). It worked within a few months (may...

Today is day one of my pills. I'm hoping that this medication does the trick for me the second time around. I'm actually taking a generic form of this medication, teva cyproterone. I checked the ingr...

Nice idea! Positivity is good So, when I was in hermit mode about my acne I figured if I went out in public everyone everywhere would stare at my face. This is totally untrue. I realised that people...

yes, it works.. but slowly. i've been using dan's stuff for maybe 3 weeks now, and i'm seeing some fading. definitely worth it though, but don't expect overnight miracles. i use it twice a day, morni...

I think ive alwa had anxiety. Ill do odd things like mutter to myself when im in a crOwded place because I get very nervous. Im not sure that it is 'classic' SA because i dont usually hide from things...
