Hey guys, I need your help. I've only recently come across the idea of using setting powders or setting sprays to make your makeup last longer. This is something I really struggle with due to oiliness...

That's just blatant discrimination, I'm so sad to hear you experienced this. Well done for standing your ground. They had no right to ask you to leave. Although I would personally never go back there...

I take saw palmetto. My only complaint with it is that it wasn't strong enough for me so I've ended up back on birth control anyway (but my cystic acne was quite bad so doesn't mean it wouldn't be str...

Hi all. So here I am, still fighting my acne.... I recently got a second referral to a dermatologist in the space of three years having had all hell break loose on my face with cystic acne after makin...

I was taking ibuprofen tablets as well for about a week and it seemed to help but I realise that's not a long term fix. The ibuprofen gel a few times a day did seem to calm the cyst down a little, but...

I know full well that I shouldn't, but I've let acne completely take over and limit my life since I was 13 years old. I miss out on so much that I want to do because of my skin. Often I can't even mak...

Awesome. I'm experimenting with saw palmetto at the moment too. Can I ask what dose you're taking and how long you reckon it took before you stopped breaking out?

Still getting cysts pop up despite my new regime which is ridiculously depressing and making me really struggle. Managed to find some topical ibuprofen gel (I had been taking oral ibuprofen to reduce...

So.... Here I am again! Had a nice couple of years off this site because my birth control Dianette kept me pretty much clear. But having been on it 3 years and being worried about the health risks, I ...

I'm not sure how or why, but I know Sertraline/Zoloft (another SSRI) seriously contributed to a horrific cystic acne breakout for me a few years ago, so I can quite believe that Fluoxetine/Prozac migh...

Sorry to be a pain, but could someone who can access the post maybe copy and paste it to me here or in a message just as a short term solution? Would really like to read it to see what supplements are...

As an addition, I just found this research on stinging nettle in women with high androgen levels which is an interesting read: Najafipour, et al.pdf

Thank you! The same thing happens if I click on the link unfortunately.

Hi, I seem to be having problems accessing a thread in the hormonal acne forum that was really really useful. It was called The Big Hormone Post for Both Men and Women started by a user called Green G...

Hi there, I've not really heard of using stinging nettle until reading your posts and now I'm very intrigued! I was wondering if you know anything about the mechanism by which it works or about whethe...
