Acne Support Group

Don't feel bad. I am 37 and I still get acne on my forehead. It is frustrating. I also drink tons of water. Things like oxy are to harsh for your skin. If you own something that is irratating your skin, try something else. Try Borheeshe Mud Mask for Face and Body. It helps and feels good on your skin. Do not wash your face more than twice a day, it will make it worse and dont zone out in the mirror all day, I've done that and it makes you more upset. I hope you feel better, I understand...

Hey! I know EXACTLY how you feel. I had clear skin til my senior year of high school and then it was just gross. I got back acne and chest acne. My parents kept saying "it'll go away eventually." Over the years I tried EVERY otc medicine and then begged my parents to take me t o the dr - I tried tetracycline, retina, and some other random stuff. Finally by my third year of college, I had developed cystic acne - nasty rock hard lumps that erupted pus like a a volcano. I saw a new doctor who put me on accutane right away. At first it got worse and my lips and mouth and eyes got so dry but then it cleared up. Completely. Here I am 13 years later and I almost never break out. Actually I never 'break out' sometimes I get an occasional small pimple but that's it. I hardly wash my face either. It is the best thing ever.
I remember the pain and agony and tears that came with acne. And cruel people suggesting I wash my face. It was a dark time.
Now I wear tank tops and pull my hair back off my face. I've been on 3 different reality shows and I have a successful career in Manhattan. You can make it through this. I promise.
