I certainly suffer BDD, and everyday I'm in the mirror feeling disgusted with myself. I detest it when people say I'm not a bad looking lad, and my acne is hardly noticeable when to myself i'm the ugl...

I need some advice on eating healthy, it sounds silly but there's so much science and diets out there it gets a little bit confusing. I also wish to stop and cut out caffeine, I drink way too much cof...

I went back to the doctor yesterday and expressed my concern, he has emailed the dermatologist I go to for advice on further treatment and reccomended looking at another course of Isotetrinoin if poss...

Thanks for the responses guy, I really appreciate the support! But what can you really do when acne is so aggressive on your skin? So persistent and determined to thrive? I was seriously hoping for a ...

Done with fighting against acne. I've been battling acne since I was 15 and I'm almost 24 years old. I've had Isotetrinoin once 80mg/day Zineryt, Lymecycline 400mg twice Erythomycin, Oxytetracyc...

Has anyone else had an IB with Differin Cream? I'm now 5 weeks in and maaaan, I've been hit by quite a few nasty ones that actually hurt to touch. I'm also on Lymecycline 408mg aswell and been taking ...

I have a huge variety of vegetables now on my list, and certainly a variety it is. I'll increase the berry intake, I wont drop the porridge for now since it's the only breakfast I actually enjoy but i...

Hi thanks for answering, I'm glad too hear it, I should be okay with just those two vitamins daily :). I may add some Zinc though, I hear that's good for skin.

Genuinely curious as to how you plan and record your progress for specific goals, or if there's any advice you can give to someone who is just starting out? I'm wanting to exercise generally for fitne...

Managed to get in contact with the West dermatology clinic in London. I gave them my current status, and was advised that I wait 3 months after my acne treatment before consulting them for scar treat...

Specifically Vitamin A and Vitamin D capsules. I was hoping that it'd be okay to take one of these each everyday. Here in England we see very little sunlight, but even less sunlight when you're held ...

I'll try juicing some vegetables, but I'm not so sure I'll enjoy it. I'll keep to the water regardless anyhow.

Thank you very much :). I forgot to add, drinks wise. I'm slowly cutting out the teas and coffee's and started to drink just water, water is bland and wondered what else I could possibly drink?

So I'm sick to death of myself. Lounging around indoors feeling sorry for myself because of my acne and terrible skin. I've decided to not just sit on antiobiotics and pray for the best but to get a...

Nice one, thank you very much!

Does anyone know of any clinics in the UK that offer TCA Cross? After my treatment for acne, I'm hoping to move on to TCA cross for the scarring but I can not find anyone in the UK that offers it? Tha...

First week of Lymecycline over, also using the Differin 0.1%. A slight reduction in redness, and spots seem to have decreased although still getting a few. It's the redness, blemishes and marks that a...

Update, the dermatologist I went to advised that I take a 6 month couse of Lymecycline. Isotetrinoin is apparantly no longer licensed for a second course, not at least without taking another 6 month o...
