Thanks. I don't know that I'm necessarily sensitive to casein or anything, I basically gave up the whole standard american diet all at once a couple years ago.

Well back in the days I had mild / moderate acne. Than when I came to the US I started eating junk food, cola etc. and my acne became quite severe. So I think a good diet helps in controlling acne but...

So, I've been on an anti-acne diet for years and I stick to it. The only problem I have is going out to eat. I have been restricting my social life in order to keep up the diet and avoid going out to ...

Did you? You could try. Just be gentle and if it doesn't work, leave it alone for a little while longer (which I know is sometimes hard to do).

I think k3tchup means to avoid high glycemic foods so that would mean no pastries, no pasta, no bread, no potatoes, no white rice, etc. (some people can eat brown rice if they soak it in water overnig...

Man! I wish I could hug you. I've had similar thoughts, wondering why any guy would want me when he could have a woman with clear skin instead... The truth is not all girls are shallow. There may b...

Big dick disorder? nah I dont have that. That would be kinda cool though. jk jk. GL!!   LMAO! I'd be REALLY worried if I had that disorder as I thought I was a girl ;0) Yeah, I struggle wit...

Many acne sufferers have found jobs despite their skin problems. You are going to be fine. Everyone needs to make money. Except me. Because I am rich.   LOL. Can I have some of that money? ---...

I think you will clear up soon and then this will be all behind you. I'm really tough on myself too, but, how are we supposed to know what works and doesn't work until we've tried it. Just go back to ...

I wonder if it's not just bp. I;ve put benzoyl peroxide on open wounds before and it luckily did not leave scars. However, I had either a massive cyst or a boil (staph infection) on the side of my fac...

My understanding is either we have too many androgens in our body or (more commonly) our skin receptors are oversensitive to normal levels of androgens. From what I've read, anti-androgens like spiro ...

If you're not breaking out that bad now, maybe you won't having any problems with an initial breakout. I was on differin and doxy and if I broke out worse, it was only a little bit, and I had cystic a...

Great post. I like the ending line and man I got to say, you write really well, I never would have suspected you were drunk!    

Sorry, you are having to go through such a rollercoaster ride with this Crystal. You are a strong and beautiful woman. I know it's hard going through this stuff. Every spot you've gotten is a badge of...

It varies from person to person. It could end at 18, 20, 22, etc. It could get milder and last a while or be gone way sooner than you'd expect. But, at your age, you could very easily grow out of it y...

Yeah, it is healing great! It's to the point where it's hard to notice now even after two months, soon it will be invisible.

Right then lads.   I'm 19 years old and have been on Roaccutane for about twenty days on a pretty high dosage as I believe; 3 20mg capsules a day. Skins looking great ect ect ect...   I've j...

Hmmmm. I've heard of people with eating disorders who get a flare up of acne. I would think extended fasting would really mess with your body. I can definitely see eating a healthy diet, drinking lots...

I agree it sucks acne treatments don't work faster. Unfortunately, those treatments would likely take a good three months to work. Spiro sometimes takes three to six, but you've also got the epiduo to...

Congrats on finding your trigger.

Lord, please let accutane work for PCOSgirl, let it heal her skin completely if it hasn't already. Please encourage her as I know how hard it can be going through acne. Send people who can be her frie...

I tried hydrocortizone cream a couple times but I also use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide every day. (not at the same time as they hydrocortizone). One time the zit went away fairly well after the hydrocortizo...
