Hey! How's it going, Sankofa1? Any improvement?

It looks like the redness might be from the acne lesions leaving spots of hyperpigmentation. If the acne clears up, some of that should get better over time. If you find that you can predict changes...

Hey! The last time I cleared up pretty well and stayed that way for a year, but then the dreaded OILINESS came back and little by little the acne started to take over again. I was taking 30 twice a d...

Does your derm do cortisone injections? I have to get a few every time I visit my doctor and I'm so grateful for them. They flatten out even tough ones after about a day or two.

Hey there! I'm also 32 and have been dealing with it since I was 15. I'm on my 3rd round of Accutane. This time I'm going to stay on it a little longer. Hopefully that will give me results that lo...

- Not doing things with friends in the sun (hiking, pool, etc.) because I don't want anyone to see my face in the light - Not wanting someone I'm dating to touch my face or see me in the morning befor...

I'm glad you're seeing a doctor... That rash and acne on your arms probably need a professional's attention. I wish I had something more to say than that I can relate to how you feel. I've been de...

I'm starting my 4th month now and had a bad break out last week. My derm upped my dosage, so maybe my skin will look better when I visit him next month. I was hoping I'd see better results by now, t...

My confidence, my ability to look people in the eye, hours of my life trying to cover up the scars, seeing doctors, trying treatments, etc.

The first tme I tried Accutane, I ended up switching jobs and had to stop my treatment as I lost my health insurance when leaving my employer. I wonder if I'd be better off now if I'd completed that ...

Hey there... You're not alone. I'm in the same boat. I don't even want to think about going on dates with anyone right now because of the condition my face is in. I go to work and I feel like peopl...

Thank you for the suggestions. In the past, I didn't really get good results with the birth control, but maybe I'll try it again. Spironolactone helped for a while but then wasn't cutting it anymore...

My skin is in the worst condition it's been in years. I'm on my 3rd round of Accutane. I think I didn't stay on it long enough the first two tries. I've been on it now for 3 months but over this la...

Maybe just put some antibiotic ointment and ice it? :/
