I'm glad you're making such rapid progress! I'm through my first month now... it makes me cringe thinking about how painful it must be for you to shave with all the bumps. I know I absolutely hate s...

Day 10: Into double figures now and its still passing by pretty quickly. Broke out horribly yesterday and the day before but today things seem to have calmed down a bit, still breaking out but not as ...

Hey man, I'm glad your acne is getting better now. Having read through quite a few logs it seems once things start improving past the 60 days mark it just keeps getting better and better, looking posi...

Hey dude, you're in the right place for support! Everyone here knows exactly what you're going through, and we are also here to remind you - it gets better! Tyrean is right, if you keep busy and pushi...

Day 4: ​Didn't really intend to do an update so quickly but the first signs of the 'tane are starting to show now - my face is definitely redder than it was and I'm getting facial flushing now (not ve...

Good luck with your course MJ! I just finished two months and I think things are gonna be improving here on out. Just try not to stress about your skin every day like I did, and think about the end re...

So, after much thought and weighing up of risks I have finally decided to start Roaccutane! It wasn't an easy decision to make and I went to the dermatologist still undecided. After discussing it with...

Well, despite all my concerns about Roaccutane, I finally started it on 40mg/day. Anxious yet excited to see if I will finally be free from acne

You can go NHS, the way they seem to do it is if you have had 2 treatments of antibiotics from your GP for acne but its still giving you grief you will be referred to a dermatologist at your nearest h...

I don't believe in god and I don't mean to offend anyone but in my opinion I think people like the idea of there being a god to escape the reality of life - there isn't an all powerful being looking o...

What I like to do is play mindf*ck with these people. I told this one rude woman that recommended me to try "proactiv" and to change my diet that I had an inoperabable androgen secreting brain tumor i...

Nope, wouldn't do it either. Those painful memories are what shaped me into being a stronger person than I thought I could ever be. I hate acne, but in a weird way I'm kind of proud of the physical sc...

Happens to me sometimes when I catch my reflection in something when I'm out. Makes me want to drop anything and everything that I'm doing and just be alone. I never let myself do that though, I alway...

The thing that always stops me in my tracks when I consider it is the (possible) nightmarish side effects. I know I could possibly go through a course of it and be completely fine and have crystal cle...

I think it depends on the person but it definitely could be whats causing you such problems. I have a friend who smokes very infrequently but whenever she does she will always break out afterwards (no...

Pretty good! Started a new low GI diet that I'm gonna stick to for at least a month or 2, drinking lots more water and I swear its made my skin less red. Maybe the change in food will help me out, may...

It can for some people. I have a friend who smokes very infrequently but it will give her some pimples when she does. I'm a smoker and it hasn't changed my acne in any way, bad habit though, I need to...

No adverse affects from alcohol, I'm in uni atm so I drink a lot and haven't noticed anything, I think I am quite fortunate though, never had any adverse effects off this

Yeah, its definitely not a cure but it can give you great relief. Forgot to mention that when I first started taking it (was in a particularly bad way at that time) it took about 3 weeks to kick in, s...

When I don't take any form of medication for my skin I get very severe acne - pustules, papules, huge cysts, you name it I get it. It gets so bad that even eating and smiling become painful. I was put...

Its not a big deal at all. When I lost it I finally saw how petty the whole 'virgin' stigma is. I was thinking it'd never happen, why won't it happen, etc. And when it did, It didn't change a damn thi...

Yeah, I knew a guy from school who just did not care one bit. He was a dick though.

I still go out. I don't get harassment, just feel pretty embarrassed.

Thats pretty deep man, nice post. Apart from the obvious embarrassment and all that, I think a big reason I want clear skin is that I don't feel like I am fully living with acne, like I can't reach ...

I know how it feels. I feel like a loser too. Things can always get better though.
