I will be 26 at the end of the month and have had acne for more than half of my life now. BP, Tazorac, Bactrim, bla bla bla, I have done them all! The severity of my acne is increasing as I get olde...

Good luck man. I feel your pain as I have been on this website way too long myself.

I have had acne for 13 years and I haven't been able to find one thing that actually makes a nodule or cyst go away faster. I have tried the methods talked about on this website such as ice, aha, 10%...

Brad Pitt Scarring in Se7en.

I had a similar experience. I would always get chest acne after eating wheat. Now I eat minimal quantities of wheat daily and do not get chest acne. I think it has something to do with antibodies in t...

I'm a soon to be 26 year old guy and have had acne for 14 years now. 3 months ago I went on a low glycemic load diet, no diary, and no grains. I stuck to it 100 percent for 2 months and it worked pe...

I am almost 26 and have had acne since I was 12. Over the years i have used BP (Dan's Regimen), every prescription retinoid and antibiotic, every over the counter product, and basically everything wi...

Thanks for posting that. I read it and Dr Mercola addresses many of the claims in that article. Ahhh, which online Dr to believe.. Decisions, decisions lol. "Beware of consuming raw egg whites with...

Started at 13 and still as strong as ever at almost 26.

I have actually tested dark chocolate and I think I am intolerant to it. Within a few hours of eating it, I get an under the skin nodule on my neck or jawline in the same area every single time. Thi...

I believe that I have some sort of intolerance to eggs. I have tested positive on allergy tests in the past as well as had the idea that they may worsen my acne. I have only eaten cooked eggs but I ...

Ha, I'm also turning 26 this year and dealing with this only recently. Maybe it is the age, then? I've noticed using lots of bepanthen cream on anything that might scar does help with healing and some...

Are you on accutane at the moment? That would explain why you're scarring more easily, as it impedes healing. Another factor is just age, I think. I've had a similar experience this past year, probabl...

My thinking is so distorted these days. In my mind, I feel like every person that I come in contact with just goes straight to analyzing my skin, looking for pimples, scars, and redmarks and after ta...

Oh yeah. All the time. I try and just wash my face and get the hell out, but then I start looking at all the little blackheads and bumps. I prefer terribly lit bathrooms for this reason. I usuall...

For the past few years, I have used what my skin looks like 2 inches from the mirror as a measuring stick. What I have seen and still see are many scarred pores, a few boxcar scars, some icepicks, an...

My acne is at the point where its manageable but I still breakout. I do not get cysts anymore but I do get whiteheads and pustules that go away in 3-5 days max. For some reason, EVERY pimple I get i...

Accutane. Save yourself the possible mental rollercoaster that I have had the past 13 years of trying various things. Opinions vary but i have talked to 2 derms in real life and both never see the l...

Wtf. Every single pimple that I get now, no matter how big or how long it lasts is leaving a fucking indented scar. I am almost 26 so is this because my skin is getting older?

I started going to a new Esthetician and she told me not to sweat when I worked out and not to let my body temp go up. ???? I don't know why. That seems like extremely hard advice to follow..I would...

I can jerk off as much as I want but when I start getting into a heavy weight lifting and eating routine, I think it causes my test levels to get out of control. This follows by cystic breakouts

I was just thinking back to when I was a kid and even in my early acne days before it really bothered me. I remember "not being in my head" so much and not even paying attention or giving a second th...

Ahhhhh I remember following this thread 6 years ago when it started. I was offered Accutane myself during that time but unfortunately chose Differin which led to 6 years trying every topical in the b...

Depending on your dose, you could definitely continue to use topicals. I used BP for the first month on accutane before i felt my skin was just too dry to continue. I also was on paleo and an antiinfl...

So I believe that acne (my acne at least) is influenced by my diet and other lifestyle activities such as heavy weight lifting. I am now going on Accutane 2 weeks from today so I want to put myself i...
