Not sure if this topic has been posted before, sorry if it has. I'm currently 6 weeks into using retin-A, but have also been trying to improve my sleeping habbits as I've often read a lack of sleep do...

  Day 44 More forehead is really starting to annoy me. It doesn't seem to have improved at all since I started treatment, where as my chin has cleared up very nicely (so far). I wasn't expecti...

My content isn't working either

Hi, I am having trouble dealing with the emotional pain Well you not alone, that's for sure. Acne is often emotionally draining but lots of us on here suffer with low self esteem and various anxieti...

I can fall asleep literally any time, anywhere LOL. Maybe I can help you guys out. Here's some tips that help me fall asleep fast and stay asleep. - It's a mental thing. When you go to bed, never try ...

I have the exact same problem. It takes me at least an hour to fall asleep and then I wake up a lot during the night too (20+ times a night when it's bad), and sometimes I just don't sleep. I've actua...

Today I just feel frustrated. One of those days where I wish I could just fast forward to when I have clear skin as I'm getting sick of waiting haha. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Ok so I've had moderate acne for the past 8 or so years (started at 13, now 21) and during that time I've become increasingly introverted and nervous around people. I've always avoided big social situ...

Week 27 - No real change in skin, same as above! (Not trying to be lazy, I just don't feel the need to repeat myself). The only thing that has changed is the fact that I have stopped the antibiotic, B...

I found it impossible to cut dairy from my diet completely and found myself loosing weight as I was eating less than I normally would have due to being unable to find enough food without diary to repl...

During my time lurking on this forum, I've noticed that one of the more common complaints is that 'society' does not accept those who suffer from acne. I've especially seen this sentiment implied thr...

Day 40 Until today my skin was looking pretty damn good. I had had no new breakouts and the hyper-pigmentation was fading nicely. Unfortunately this morning I woke up to three massive inflamed pimple...

I've been taking 100mg of doxy a day along with a topical retinoid for around 6 weeks for mild/moderate acne on my forehead and chin. After being on doxy for around 4 weeks I noticed any active acne w...

Not doing good today. Yesterday my skin was looking pretty good but this morning I have woken to find three new massive pimples on my forehead. The worst part is I know they will leave bad HIP that wi...

Crongrats on getting the job. It's nice when things just seem to fall into place like that, and it's even better once you get your first pay check!

Day 32 Not a lot to report. I have had only two very small active pimples on my forehead over the last few days which is good, but overall I don't think my forehead has improved at all since I starte...

My whole teen years, acne has been here. It has never gone, it has only gotten worse. My teen years have been dramatically ruined by it and now my early adult-hood is going to be ruined by it too, i'm...

Music always helps get my mind off my skin and lift my mood. I find exercising is great too, as it gets you out and about and you feel great afterwards. Studying, reading, youtube and a favorite tv sh...

Day 27 I think. I have mixed feelings about everything today.... One good thing is that doxy seems to be making any pimples die down a lot quicker than they used to. The bad is that I'm still breakin...

Feeling a bit low again today :/ Have a couple of new spots on my forehead which Is already a mess. I also have to go out with family for lunch, which I would normally enjoy, but I am feeling particul...

I think we all have days like this where we just feel down and frustrated (I had a bad one this week). The lack of a relationship gets me down ALL the time as well, especially when I see other happy c...

Day 60 Today was a bit of a roller-coaster in a way. Even though I feel like my skin is going backwards (a few new breakouts and the pores of my nose are 'clogged') I was still feeling ok for most of ...

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling great lately. We all have days like that but just have to hope the next day will be a better one I think it's a good thing that you forced yourself to get to un...
