I do this a lot...I look up close at my pores especially, because I have somewhat big pores. I get so grossed out at my skin and everything I see. But then when I look at from it a normal distance, it...

Been on Spiro for about a month now, maybe a little more. I saw my derm a few days ago and she bumped my dosage up to 100 mg a day. I am quite happy with this because I don't think 50 mg was enough fo...

I have a really annoying zit right now, right near my bottom lip. It's not that huge and came to a head within one night, but it's taking longer to completely flatten. I NEVER break out right near my ...

Been on Spiro for almost 3 weeks now. I still broke out around TOTM, with 3 different mid-size zits. None of them were cystic, though, which is good. This one near my lip is healing now and it's so an...

Had a really good day. I think my skin is less oilier overall, which is awesome. I definitely think the Spiro and Aczone are helping this. Overall I got 2 zits at my hormonal time, when normally I get...

Felt good all day today, skin looked great...and really liking the Aczone, think I may fill the prescription and get it. But by the end of tonight, I had a new little zit coming up. Possibly a second...

Had a great day today. No new clogged pores or zits, and my skin looked really good for almost the whole day! I really only had to blot once, other than that my face stayed pretty oil-free. I've been ...

Maybe you should start seeing a therapist. I started having severe problems with body dysmorphia and OCD relating to my skin/acne last year. I was basically having panic attacks even over one small ma...

First of all, start treating your acne...whether it's with the Regimen or by going to a derm. You need to try a method and stick with it for at least 2 months to see if it's really working. That's the...

I leave mine alone until they fall off while I'm washing my face or in the shower. At night I put Aquaphor on them, helps keep them moisturized and can even speed healing time up so the scab falls off...

Haha, I seriously ask myself this everyday. I look at the perfect smooth skin on my hand or something and am just like "why...??" I couldn't think of a logical reason why. I read that the oils on ou...

Had a better day today, the new zit has already been extracted and healed (came to a head quickly). No new clogged pores this morning, a few tiny ones came at night but those don't really count I act...

Glad you have decided to apply to ones far from home As long as that's what you want. College will really open your eyes to different people and different experiences. It's definitely life changing,...

SavyBanana, I just looked at your pictures out of curiosity and I have to say...you have NOTHING to worry about! Your skin looks fine, even perfect if I might add. And even if you still do get zits so...

Day 9 Still getting clogged pores right around my nose and upper lip. I have always had a problem with these tiny white heads. They're not noticeable so that's good but they're still annoying. I alw...

Noooo! DON'T let your acne take away from your college experience!!! I had one of the worst breakouts of my life freshman year of college, but even with that, it was still one of the best years of my ...

  Getting more anxious as next week draws closer. I'm starting back at uni on Monday and on the Tuesday I start my placement work for uni with an organisation that works with children with au...

I feel the same way as SavyBanana. I think it affects both genders equally, but in a way, I think girls are judged more harshly for it. Society in general almost expects girls to be pretty, and acne c...

Waxing is the best thing. It takes a long time to grow back and the pain isn't bad. If cost is the problem, have you tried looking into at home kits? I remember it took me about 10-15 minutes the firs...

Have you always had this upper lip hair or is it something relatively new? You are more than likely getting the whiteheads from shaving that area, when you shave it opens the area to bacteria. Also th...

Feeling indifferent today...that time of the month that I break out is here, but thankfully, I haven't gotten any big zits yet. I have been getting tiny whiteheads right around my upper lip, very freq...

So I'm not an incredibly hairy person or anything, but for some reason, the hair on my upper lip grows back fast. I've tried threading and waxing in the past, but often times within a few days I have ...

My friend criticized me today for wearing makeup to cover up my skin. He called me a "cake face." He said wearing makeup will make my skin break out. He obviously doesn't understand my acne is an inte...

I was on Solodyn for about 6 months or so before I switched to generic Minocycline. Before that, I was on Doxycycline. Solodyn worked okay for me, but not perfectly. My acne isn't awful to begin with...

I'm on 50 mg. I think girls should at the very least be at 50 mg. If this dosage doesn't work out though, my derm said she'd bump up the dosage to 100 mg. I would explain your situation to your derm ...
