I feel as though we have similar skin types. Prone to cysts and easily marked, which is so much more noticeable being fair-skinned. I feel your pain 100%. The marks are SO annoying, but you do have to...

Hey guys! I was hoping to just start a convo about acne stories and what has helped you. My acne used to be quite bad and I managed to really clear up my skin by cutting out dairy, going on birth cont...

Yeah, I feel you on the red marks. They're the worst. But good news, they're not permanent! They will fade over time. Any kind of exfoliant can help speed up this process, such as chemical peels or a ...

If the birth control helped temporarily, it sounds like it might definitely have at least something to do with your hormones. You might want to talk to your doctor about changing pills. Also I saw tha...

I squeezed a whitehead that wasn't ready (I know I shouldn't have and I usually wouldn't but I was feeling super anxious). The skin broke and now it is fairly raw and red, equivalent to a shallow woun...

So I had this weird inflamed pimple yesterday that seemed to be very much on the surface and not deep at all. I squeezed at it a little and all this liquid started pouring out. No pus. Today, it's fla...

I had this little under the skin bump that was just kinda there for a while and then about two days ago, it became an inflamed pimple. It was really bothering me and although a whitehead didn't reach ...

Hey girl, people suck sometimes. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. First off, your acne is not that bad at all!! Remember that your worth is not defined by acne. You will find something tha...

What kind of acne do you have? Closed comedones/blackheads, inflamed whiteheads, cysts? Once I know this info, perhaps I could recommend some products! As far as location goes, I find that I also expe...

It's possible that by squeezing, you got some out but also pushed some of the infection farther into the pore, which would cause a pimple under the skin. That's what the picture looks like to me. The ...

Hey Christian!! I also have issues with flaky skin, as a result of acne treatments. I know you're afraid of over-exfoliating and I totally relate, but it seems if you have very visible flakes, you're ...
