TWO WEEKS   OKay, so maybe I was being a little hard on myself yesterday because when I did a pimple count, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Here goes:   RIGHT SIDE: ZERO re...

DAY 13   I'm NOT happy today. It seems like I have LOADS of new clogged pores today, PLUS I had to "take care" of that pimple from yesterday, as it was ready - and it was, but now it's red, but n...

DAY 12   One of my clogged pores is turning into a regular pimple, is there such a thing? What I mean is that it's not hugely inflammed, but it is a small, raised red bump with no head. It does n...

DAY 11   Well, I have new clogged pores to report. The left side of my face is so much worse than the right. The healing pimples, that I picked, are now pink and scabby. I still don't have any ne...

DAY 10   Okay, I'm at day 10 and I have no new inflammed pimples to report. My attacked pimples are flat and red, so it'll take another week to 10 days before the red marks fade. I do have two ne...

DAY 9   Things are still looking good. No new inflammed pimples to report and my current inflammed pimples are healing nicely, after my attack. I didn't notice any new clogged pores today.  ...

DAY 8   My skin seems to be heading in the right direction, except for the pimples that I attacked - they are one million times worse, now. No new inflammed pimples, but still lots of flesh color...

Hi cvd, It's reassuring to know that Spiro is working for you, especially in the long run. I'm in love with Retin A, in terms of it's effect on the areas without problems. Retin A, alone, just can't f...

ONE WEEK     Right now my skin is okay. I have 2 active pimples and 15 flesh colored clogged pores, which is a lot less than one week ago.     RIGHT SIDE: ZERO red, active pimple...

Hi Twizzlers. I'm sorry you're going through the same problems. It sucks. It sounds like you're on the right path, though! I did get an IB from the Retin A, and I'm not going to lie - it was bad. Stil...

DAY 5 Hmm..well...no new inflammed pimples, but still loads of clogged pores. My skin definitely seems drier throughout the day. I'm not expecting to see significant improvement for at least a month, ...

DAY 4   OMG - I'm so nauseated. Urgh. I know why. This pill takes away my entire appetite, and I don't have enough in my belly when I take this pill. OMG - so sick. Losing weight is NOT something...

DAY 3 Okay, this has GOT to be a fluke, but since yesterday, my face has been staying almost completely dry. I tried to use a blotting sheet and I did not fill up the entire sheet after applying it to...

DAY 2   I'm typically NOT a picker, but three days I got so unbelieveably frustrated with all those clogged pores that I attacked them, and I'm paying for it, now. I just don't know what to do wi...

I've decided to start a log of my soon-to-be success story. About four months ago my skin became acneic for the first time in my life. I did have the typical teenage flare-ups when I was younger, bu...

You know, it seems like common sense, but I never thought to ask my gyn for a derm recommendation. It would encourage a collective and collaborative approach, which is missing from my treatment of car...

Can you use the baking soda, vinegar, and egg whites while using Retin A?   I used Retin A in the evenings, but I was hoping that I could use the BS vinegar and egg white in the mornings.   ...
