Differin = itchy skin? [differin] [clyndomycin]

I am currently on Differin at night and Clyndomycin in the morning and to my “tribe” as they call it. My skin is sooooooo itch.

I always crave, but cannot eat [chocolate candy] [candy ice cream]

I always crave food like pizza, chocolate, candy, ice cream . but I dont eat for I will break out of. I hate it because when Im with friends who always get pizza or something, and I always reject the offer. The wonder why I never eat. It makes me so sad and angry. It is difficult to stop, but I know in the long term, eating a slice of pizza or bowl of ice cream is not worth the risk of getting pimples short after.

Anyone else like this? I just miss my Youngers years when I could eat e
