  >Feel like I want to be able to programme my genes differently so I don't have such shatty skin. Sucks I have rich, long shiny hair that i've always been complimented on but now I the sk...

Picked at my almost perfect skin last night because I was so stressed. I've not been sleeping because I keep getting woken up needlessly early and my healthy diet and exercise are slipping too because...

I've had really bad acne before, but oddly enough I didn't get any visible scars when my cysts healed. However now when I'm breaking out just moderately, I have much more of scar building going on and...

Maybe you dried your skin so much that it starts to stress out and produce more excess oil to keep it's protective oil barrier? Whenever I stop moisturizing my skin, drink less liquids and use too muc...

I have a massive craving for chocolate and pizza these days... It kills me!! I ordered some sugar-free chocolate bars through the internet (on some raw food site), so that I can still eat chocolate an...

I woke up and found out that my skin got even worse over the night. All the pimples on my jawline are inflamed now, and there are some new breakouts on my cheeks close to the ear. I feel so disappoint...

Well I don't think your acne is severe though. I would say its moderate... of course to a regular person who doesn't have acne... they would think that is severe. How motivating... I didn't mean...

Are those just pimples or some cysts? Because they certainly don't look like cysts. Few of them are I think. They're deep and hurt, doesn't go away for weeks. But most are just inflamed pimples, wh...

WishClean thanks for your advice, they're very useful    

What measures I have taken so far:   - Dairy free for 2 weeks already. - Cut off bread, cookies, sweets, fruit juices. - Taking probiotics once a day. - Eat a lot of healthy fats like avocado...

Not too bad, it's deceptively calm. I'm now on treatment but who knows if it's this or a fluke. I don't get my hopes up these days. I guess the worst part is the amount of pain we go through, every s...

The answers were really useful and kind, I'm thankful to all who took their time to write. Unfortunately, I have broken up badly, and have 4 painful cysts on my scarred cheek now which will add up to ...

I feel terrible. Not really because of my acne, but because of lack of support from those, who are supposed to be there for you, when you really need. I am often trying out new things and diets in ord...

It's true that you shouldn't load all those chemicals on your face, but not washing it for so many days sounds crazy. After the whole day there's dirt and dust settled on your face and then you just g...

If you have rectal bleeding, perhaps it would be a good idea to see a GI docor, especially if you have so much GI distress! They'd be able to test for more serious conditions like chrons, IBD, celiac,...

Somebody help me please! Totally lost right now and I don't know what to eat and which diet to follow. First, some information on my health. As a child, I was sick quite often and it wouldn't go a...

It started. After two months of controllable mild acne it finally "got back on track". I knew it will come, because this is the time I brake out the most and this silence was before the storm. I looke...

I thought about one thing after reading some answers on this thread. Maybe the best thing would be if we all accepted our feelings the way they are at the moment, but at the same time would make goals...

I think the thing we can gather from this thread is that most of us want this part of the forum to be a place where people can whine, vent, scream, or release their emotions in whatever way they need ...

Sorry if my opinion offended anyone. Didn't mean to point things out, my bad for thinking that it can help someone. I'm not a psychologist, so I shouldn't tell what's good or not. But this way helps m...

It's -20C outside and I'm so terribly dry my hands feel like claws, can't yawn or laugh cause it feels like tearing my skin apart. Even skin on my back feels tight when I stretch. I drink like crazy, ...
