I cleanse with Coconutoil + raw honey 3 times a week. I've experienced no purging, in fact most of my lesions have healed since cleansing with coconut oil.

I agree. I'm active on these forums daily and I can attest to the fact that the scar subforum is currently home to a few individuals who need psychiatric help ASAP. They seem to use these forums as a ...

Stop using baking soda. It's not good for your skin for long useage.

Kevin9k9: You should do some research on asymmetrical attraction of the opposite sex. How imbalances like scars and minor positional flaws make people more attractive. There's actual psychological st...

When I see scars like that on guys it turns me on faster than lightning. Literally, if you think this scar is the reason you're not getting any guys or girls you'd be wrong. Instead of worrying about ...

Same issue here. In fact I was exactly where you were. I have no acne but sometimes my face looks like I suffer from moderate to severe acne because of the ingrown hairs. I booked appointments to have...

Tea tree oil is a miracle oil. People go towards BP, but I'm a strong believer that TTO helps cure redness and scarring while BP just kills the bacteria and leaves the skin dry and red.

I find that a salicylic/glycolic peel once a week or twice a month works much better than a chemical exfoliate used more frequently. Chemical exfoliates tend to really make my skin angry, but if I spa...

Buy Argan oil that's labeled as organic. That's the best bet for your face.

From my experience, tea tree oil leaves less redness to the skin compared to BP. I'd use 5% Tea tree oil mixed with jojoba oil and that will not only kill the bacteria, but will help rejuvenate the sk...

I've consumed both whey and plant based formulas, however I seem to get sick no matter the quality of whey I use, so I stopped using it years ago. I recommend using vegaessentials (research the ingred...

Accutane is not a mild drug. It can have serious side effects and consequences for both short term and long term use. Doctors will say anything to sell you medication, even if they're not making the b...

Regardless of how bad each case of acne is, growing up with the feeling that you're different sucks. Today was especially hard for me, no reason, I was just being hard on myself. Everyday I try to sor...

When I was your age I also was extremely paranoid about my red marks. I wanted to try everything to get rid of them, lasers, chemicals. I`m now 22 and thankful I didn't do anything to my skin. I used ...

Doing any form of exercise can be beneficial the the healing process of the body, inside and out. Overdoing an exercise to the point of extreme fatigue or dehydration will not help your acne. Running ...

I started the cavemen regimen a while ago due to pure laziness and found the my hyper pigmentation was not reducing all that effectively. I used a mix of different essential oils for scar reduction in...

For my recommendation, whenever I find a spot that gives me constant flare ups for ingrown hairs, I'll use a beard trimmer on those spots. I'll then use a Gillette razor for the rest of my face. My fa...

These look very ingrown hair like? Do you grow hair on your cheeks?

If you're telling us that you washed your face 7 times in one day, that could explain for the clusters of dry skin and bumps you're experiencing.

It's highly recommended that when you steam your face you wash first and not after you open the pores. Instead of applying a spot treatment to the opened pores, you spread the bacteria around with war...

Sounds like your hair follicle is having trouble exiting the crease of your bottom lip, probably because of the irritation your lower lip and lower chin crease create throughout the day.

Do not shave to the skin until you get your acne under control. The scars you could create from reopening wounds and infection, would be a lot worse than a shortly trimmed beard.

REMOVED FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

This is the one of the most welcoming communities I've been apart of. I also am thankful for the amount of high quality posts on this forum.
