Not too bad. Still got the remnants of a cyst on my right cheek and some hp on my right jawline and neck from a recent breakout. However there is nothing active and my left side is completely clear. ...

Thanks Moonlit River. And yes, I can totally understand what a big step it was for you today - you should be proud of yourself. All the best! Edit: I`ll try to keep this brief but just thought I would...

When I took antibiotics for acne my doctor told me 3 to 4 months - which ended up being true. I took doxycycline, and at another point I took bactrim, and I was on them for about 3 - 4 months before m...

Hey, I was just wondering if anybody could tell me how long it usually takes antibiotics to work for acne? I know it's not an exact science or anything but if anyone can suggest a general timeframe it...

Been a bit up and down today. I feel like I'm totally spent and I'm losing hope with my whole situation... again... It will get better. It has to. Please. It just has to...

Moonlit River, I`m really sorry for ever bringing up the subject of BDD/acne dysmorphia. I`m worried that you are going to obsess yourself over it and it will be down to me. It could well be that you ...

Moonlit River, I`ve not quoted the whole discussion as I was starting to lose track of all the quotes (my old age lol) . I`ve just copied and pasted your last reply. There is absolutely nothing to be...

Sorry MoonlightRiver! BDD is an abbreviation for body dysmorphic disorder - an anxiety disorder where the sufferer spends a lot of time worrying about their appearance and has a distorted view of how ...

Really glad to hear the Roaccutane is going well for you at the moment kimbea24! Hope it continues

Dianette: mid-week 5 Lymecycline: mid-week 4 Epiduo: end of week 2 Well the Epiduo is now making my skin pretty red so my face is now a completely different colour from my neck with a really definite...

Hi MoonlitRiver, When I first sign in on acne.org, I usually click on the new content button and browse through some of the latest topics/posts. I did this earlier came across the epiduo thread. I saw...

I feel ya Lynn8808! I'm supposed to be going out and seeing a friend tomorrow but earlier today I took a few of photos of my skin in order to post a question on another thread - BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!...

Hopefully that's all it is - from what you've said, it does sound like it's just irritation and your skin adjusting to it. I suppose if it get's worse in the next few weeks or doesn't seem to be impro...

Similar thing has been happening to me from BP - I've been putting it down to irritation really (but my face has always been reddish in comparison to my neck). Do you think that could be all it is for...

I used to eat rolled Quaker oats all the time and never had any problems with them

Ok so I've been using Epiduo for 2 weeks now and it's really been improving my skin so I'm keen to continue using it but it seems to have made my face a significantly different colour to my neck which...

  My face is much the same as I posted last night but strangely, I don`t feel too bad about it. Had another CBT session today. After last week`s session which was a disaster, the therapi...

Unfortunately flaking is pretty much unavoidable for most people when they first start out on the Regimen. You can minimise it by being really diligent in applying a good moisturiser morning and night...

a saliva test sounds like a good alternative for you. from everything i've read, they seem to be far more accurate than blood tests when measuring hormones. Oh that's interesting! I wasn't offered/a...

Well you might be able to get them privately in the UK but you certainly can't get them on the NHS that I know of. I'm a student so private isn't really an option for me. Please excuse my total ignor...

Hey MaskedOne, I totally understand how you feel. Cysts are absolutely horrific, I can't even articulate how bad having multiple painful cysts all over your face makes you feel. In the UK we can't eve...
