So I started a new diet 2 and a half weeks ago. Cut out all fast food. Paying attention to glycemic load. Not going overboard on grains and avoiding dairy and citrus fruits which I believe I am int...

When people say that Accutane causes hairloss, does this mean it is going to make my hairline recede like in male pattern baldness fashion or does it just mean that it will thin everywhere?

I don't really want to get into what I call "The Great Man Debate". This is what boils down to. Both men and women have testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen. Different proportions of those hormone...

I am in the process of trying to choose a doctor for Fraxel Repair for my icepick and boxcar scars. I have found a highly rated facial plastic surgeon who told me he would treat my scars with his fra...

Seems like the acne is ruining your life. Why not just try out Accutane? The possibility of long term side effects risk seems worth if acne is killing you this much mentally.

GoodLookingMisc, Where ya been brah?

I have the same problem. I have an extremely fast metabolism still and acne diets make me deathly skinny and weak. This is definitely not something I want as a 25 year old man. The issue is that a ...

I don't think diet cures acne. Good diet together with juicing keeps acne at bay. So what other than accutane cures acne? Nothing. While accutane doesn't cure EVERYONE, it has the potential to b...

Hi, I've been taking Vitamin a (retinyl palmitate) since the 9th of april I started off with taking 5000iu am now (since two weeks) taking 10000iu. The oil production on my face has gotten about 50% b...

In the past, I have had great success with fermented cod liver oil in helping my acne. 1 tsp a day basically took all of the oil out of my skin, stopped breakouts, and gave me no side effects at all....

I know this is an old thread but I was watching Star Trek and noticed that Chris Pine does have a decent amount of scarring and it definitely isn't as mild as some people would imagine. Goes to show ...

I am 25 years old and have always had a super fast metabolism. I am very lean and was always able to stay lean even when eating fast food. I have been going to the gym regularly for years and when I ...

I am getting subcision performed on both of my cheeks next week. I have read a lot regarding post care and am still trying to decide what to do. Here are my options. 1. Do nothing - Bruising wil...

I am going to be getting the Ablative CO2 Laser on much of my face at the end of March for boxcar and icepick scarring. I remain basically clear from a strict regimen of 2.5% BP and .1% Tazorac every...

More is not better! 100mg of zinc is too high, I'd cut that down a bit if I were you otherwise you risk messing with your immune system. 40-50mg a day is all you really need. Vitamin C intake is also ...

Don't know about you but I scar everywhere except my chin! I am really hoping that is the case for me. I never really had any acne on my chin so I do not have any scars there yet. Seems like it ...

Updating. I ended up going to the hospital a few hours after I made that post as it started spreading rapidly and I developed more boils that were extremely painful on my chin. Turns out it wasn't r...

So after I was finally able to clear my persistent adult acne after 14 years, I developed cellulitis on my chin the other day. I thought it was a cystic breakout but kept getting worse and multiplyin...

I was finally able to clear my persistent adult acne in September with a combination of Tazorac and Dan's BP. From early September until yesterday morning, I have not had 1 pimple. Before this, I al...

My personal opinion on the matter. Stay far away from silicon injection in your face.   Thanks for the reply. That seems to be the general consensus and a lot of derms on realself.com are sayi...

I have a few rollings scars which I am interested in getting treated. I am considering Subcision or Liquid Silicone Fillers. I have read a lot about subcision here and it seems like there are very ...
