I don't notice people with bad skin much these days, my skin is 90% clear at the minute (only due to antibiotics, it will come back sure enough) but when I do I just think 'if only you knew...' that I...

Bad. Got a couple of new cysts up from zero. The antibiotics were working so well, think they are fading now... I am lost as to what to do.

To be honest I'd say just try to make him stay away from using too many products and chemical crap. I wish I'd left my skin alone a lot more, I'm sure it wouldn't have been as bad if I hadn't used so ...

Brilliantly put and very true.

Wow, there is a lot of hurt in that post. Huge respect to you for getting through those experiences. Never give up.

Skin is very good at the minute, best its been in years even. Still having a down day though, one of those ones you can't quite explain.. oh well it'll pass, take it easy everyone

Its made me empathize a lot more with people and their problems, the other main thing would be mental toughness I think, I am a more mentally resilient than before acne. It has put me through a few t...

Alsoooo, I'm looking for a good face wash to use - I currently use Cetaphil, anyone have any better recommendations? I have combination skin so it can't be anything too drying. I use the Vichy bra...

Getting better as I'm on Zineryt and Tetralysal again at the minute, not ideal but as people in this thread have mentioned I'm also worried about starting uni looking like a monster so a temporary fix...

  Confidence - it was already low before, acne made it even worse, Self esteem - again, it was low before but acne worsened it Not having much worry or care about my appearance - I honestly didn...

Not good today, just feeling very angry which is unusual for me. Seeing a doctor to get a dermatologist referral later, yaaaay...

Honesty, its fine. You shouldn't worry about it, there is nothing wrong with it!

Did you whene off or stop cold turkey? Cold turkey, not the best option I know but I finished the 1 month supply and I didn't want to use any more as I know they are bad for you to take long term ...

Now entering the aftermath of a round of antibiotics... a lot of inflamed painful cysts saying hello to the world now. I should have never have taken the antibiotics in the first place, paying for it ...

God damn...   Amazing video! Thanks for posting. The discovery channel also showcased a man in Indonesia with the same condition. He was known as 'The Bubble Man'. It puts things in perspec...

Facts about me. 18 years old. Male. White. Had acne for about 5 years but just in the last 2 years I began to develop cystic acne.   If you change the cystic bit to 3 years instead of 2 and...

Apart from a massive cyst slap bang on the middle of my nose, not doing too bad. One thing I have noticed is that ever since I have been sanding down scratches on my car and spraying it, I have the...

Aside from having terrible skin, when I consider everything, my life is great. In fact I feel a bit stupid for sometimes getting so down about acne when I consider all the things that I often take for...

Saw my doc today and was actually a bit surprised by how bad she said it was, she even said 'you must be really miserable'. Well thats true it does trouble me a fair bit but I must be used to having s...

Well Liverpool is just the team in the premier league I follow, Notts Forest are actually my proper team, and you knocked us out of the play-offs last year, so we're even!!   Ah yes thats true!...

Younger kids speak bluntly because they are honest and don't really understand that saying stuff like that would upset someone, besides they don't mean to insult anyway! I was in the hospital the othe...

Don't apologise for the long answer, its exactly what I was looking for! Interesting point on the negative skew of things, the minor side effects such as dry lips, aches and initial breakout I'd happi...

Glad its working for you!   Do you find the side effects difficult to deal with or are they manageable over time? I'm interested in trying Roaccutane to clear me up since nothing else works, the ...
