Difference b/w papules and cysts? I'm trying to figure this out too. Just a few days ago I had a red spot pop up above my eyebrow. It was under my skin, small, hard and didn't hurt at all. The skin on top of the lesion looked totally ... | In forum General acne discussion | 8 years ago |
Dehydrated yet oily skin? I don't think cloudy dreamer was steering anyone away from oils. She was merely cautioning people to be careful and to patch test on a piece of skin before they went ahead with oils. And from my exper... | In forum General acne discussion | 8 years ago |
Dehydrated yet oily skin? Actually I tried oils back in 2013. Jojoba and rosehip to be precise- all they gave me were a comedonal rash on my forehead that only went away with aha exfoliation. The dr.dennis gross alpha-beta pee... | In forum General acne discussion | 8 years ago |

I don't even know how to heal (in every sense of the word). A scab isn't the best way to heal your skin. Cover up the worst spots with a moist bandaid like a hydrocolloid dressing. a moist environment will help heal the skin much faster. Use a good cream on th... | 8 years ago | |
I feel ugly, I get depressed, I don't know why I have this. To be honest with you, it's not that bad at all. Looks kind of cute, like freckles. I know you don't feel that way but you're beautiful and quite honestly your acne isn't even all that noticeable. Che... | 8 years ago | |

Red marks or scarred red marks? What are these marks from? Acne? It's hard to say...in my experience, if they are acne scars they may fill in a bit, but won't fill in entirely. I got my first acne scar this year (at 24) and it did n... | In forum Hyperpigmentation - red/dark marks | 8 years ago |
