Doesn't look too bad to me! I'm sure it's more noticeable to you than it would be for other people, since you see it every day in the mirror, but I've seen much worse. My acne scars are a bit like you...

@Samanthakp6 I doubt cutting out dairy would cause a breakout by itself, but maybe your body is just adjusting to differences. I've been told that diet has a ton to do with acne and that's seemed true...

Hey @Scarface2019, I'm your age and have some lingering acne too. I've noticed that mine is tied to what I eat a lot of times - for me, mostly when I eat dairy. I've heard of other people having probl...

I've had some pretty bad acne over the past few years (cystic, whiteheads, blackheads, etc) and never benefitted much from dermatologist-prescribed meds (antibiotic pills and retinoids). I use cosRX p...

Hi everyone! So, I have had cystic acne problems for a year or two now, and regular teen acne before that, and now my skin is finally clearing up thanks to a healthier diet and hormones leveling out. ...

Hi @MTD, I also have recently (the last few months especially) been focusing on healthy lifestyle choices such as eating less processed foods, adding supplements I may be lacking, researching and usin...

@Alwayssadandcrying Acne is definitely a hard part of life. Not everyone has to struggle with it, but some of us do. Just remember that you're not alone, and people may see your acne, but they know t...

If you ever figure out the answer to this question, I'd love to know! I've been wondering the same thing... it's so weird that I don't get acne on my forehead even when I wear ball caps and bike helme...

I've had one like that before as well, although I never tried cortisone shots. Mine lasted months and was a nightmare. It finally went away after I cut dairy out of my diet and have been on an antibio...

Woah. Y'all, I have the same issues! Just recently my blood sugar has been crazier than usual and actually interrupts my daily life at this point. I'm planning on going to a specialist soon, but I'...

I'm so glad to hear you've found something that works so well for you! I suspected I had hormone issues as well, but my blood tests came out normal for that. Is spearmint only effective for ladies who...

My story is pretty similar to yours! I'm sorry you've had it so long, I know that sucks. I also believe my cystic acne is hormonal and recently did a lot of blood tests only to find that my hormones a...

I've been using CeraVe PM moisturizer morning and night (as recommended by my dermatologist) and it hydrates super well without clogging pores. Before that moisturizer, my skin was so dry that it lite...

@SkinDeeply I see I'm a little late to hop on the train haha but thank you so much for the info! I've ordered a L-lysine supplement and I'm starting it today. After reading about how L-arginine and L-...

@Lrolfo I have similar problems as well! I'm trying to get an appointment with a derm and probably my gyno about mine, since I'm 99% sure it's hormonal cystic acne. It's driving me nuts, though. I kno...

As far as I know, birth control really mostly just helps if your acne is hormonal. When I went to the derm they never gave me the option of birth control since that's not the primary purpose of birth ...

I'd never heard of Magnesium oil before this post- I'm really glad to hear it worked for you! I may try that soon, it sounds like it might help me. I've got hormonal acne as well.

I also had something similar happen last year! I tried Paleo diet and for the first few weeks, my skin went crazy. Mine calmed down after those few weeks (probably about a month total) and looked bett...

I'm certainly no expert, but I once had something similar on my jaw and neck and it turns out I was allergic to a pollen or plant at the place I was visiting. The little bumps itched bit , and I ended...

Hello everyone! I'm new here but really hoping someone has had similar experiences or has an idea of something that may help me. I've had acne since I was 12 or 13, so at least 7 years. I've tried sa...
