Just a quick update, I saw my derm on 3 January and she prescribed me Retin A 0.01% gel which she said would fade my pigmentation scars. I've been using this every second night for 2 1/2 weeks and the...

Thanks for the update It's been a while since I've been online here too! It sucks when you get some ass make some comment on your skin, especially when you think it looks ok, it's very dishearte...

Hey, thanks for the update Being busy is good, it helps to take your mind off skin troubles...well it helps me haha. Hopefully you're skin will calm down if you continue to use it how you are for a w...

I feel f*cking awful right now. I am 24 bloody years old and I still can't get rid of this! When I called my doctor (not my dermatologist) to get him to renew my Finacea prescription he questioned why...

I should never have cancelled that Roaccutane consultation a few weeks back, I was put off it but now i'm in pain feeling ugly and getting more and more scars and cysts. Antibiotics and topicals are a...

The chin cyst I posted a pic of yesterday has developed a head on it overnight! Wasn't in a head before I went to bed, was in a huge yellow head when I woke!! And the head on the cheek zit is bigger a...

I'm feeling pretty p****d off about it today. The last time I saw a dermatologist she told me to increase my dosage of antibiotics to one in the morning, one in the evening...I've been doing this for ...

I'm on week 9 now...I had a bit of a set back last week/earlier this week because I thought it'd be ok to start wearing makeup again and I changed cleanser but these changes made me breakout a little ...

I think acne is just a small park of a dermatologists knowledge. If you've done a bit of reading up on acne you'll probably know all if not more than most dermatologists. Acne research hasn't exactly ...

Has anyone tried Oxy On The Spot? It contains bp 2.5%. I read the box and it says if you see no improvement after 14 days to consult your GP. So is this not meant for long term use?

That's great! I think that's normal, I got 2 zits where I never ever get them before as soon as I started using Epiduo but they did vanish pretty quickly. I love your way of thinking! It's so much ...

Thanks I'm gonna stick it out to the 6 month mark, I'm optimistic my skin will be much clearer by then. And keep us posted on your progress ok?

Good luck with your new treatment! I'm currently using Epiduo alongside antibiotics and it's working wonders for me. I was advised by my dermatologist to build tolerance first to avoid irritation. I d...

My skin has been clearing nicely over the last 8 weeks until last week when I thought the time was right to start wearing makeup again (I wore Vichy Dermablend foundation 2 days, Dalton concealer as f...

As others have said, I have had to become a stronger person to deal with day to day life. I used to take so much for granted...not any more! I haven't suffered acne long at all...but the shock of my s...

It's taken away:   1) My Looks...If you saw me before acne you would not believe it was the same person.   2) Confidence   3) Self esteem   4) Any interest towards me from guys &nb...

I honestly can't see my acne clearing any time soon but if and when it does I'll probably be too old to do the things I want to do now!

I spoke too soon...my skin was like an oil slick so I had a wash and my forehead felt sore like it was bruised...it seems to be the beginnings of a pimple...hope I can keep it under control but I doub...

No new pimples but I was out in the sun too long yesterday and the pimples I have are still burning.

I ended up going out with my friend yesterday. We had a good time other than falling asleep in a rubbish movie, but my face was piled high with makeup. He's very tactile and I winced every time he tou...

I'm breaking out on my chin again ffs...woke up to a nice white pimple on my chin...thought my acne was clearing after 6 weeks of meds and now this...and I've just turned down Roaccutane...my bad ...

I subbed to him, I can't wait to try out some of his techniques for hiding pores/scarring when my skin is calm enough to wear makeup again
