Reply:Hey Folks,
I feel for all of you. As I am sure you feel for me.
I hope, wish and pray for all you guys and gals, that you find your peace and joy in life, and even if it is not a smile that others can see, you feel it deep in your hearts. Amen.
Reply:yes jen thats what sharon told me at ''all about faces'' in harrisburg,pa her husband is a great derm.i just hope they find something in the next few years in skin care to help everyone.i just dont wanna see all these younger kids go through the stuff i went through.as a guy i really dont look bad now after 14 micro-dermabrations,4 acid peels,a co2 laser resurfacing,and a thermage and a 11 months on spiro.i just hope this acne dont come back.oh well least i had a year of remission.i guess prem makes ur skin a little softer.im not taking that much of it.but it calms me down and makes me look really young but my body is developing like a female but its better than having bad acne.i guess i was willing to try anything.i said if i have to be a girl im going to have to be a les because i would rather die than date a guy.i hope your skin clears soon and u can have a happy life but i know u will have a happy life anyways.i wore makeup in high school.i think it was mostly the tinted clearsil but that was pretty embarrasing and still will never go to any high school reunions because of that.my aunts best friend is my age and said i have never looked better and asked me why i never asked her out in high school.well i always had my head facing the floor and worring about my face.i swae it would be easier fighting over in iraq than having severe acne problems.i still back off from ppl all the time but the lady at wal mart told me i was a good looking guy and thought i burnt my face after my co2 job.she said shes praying for me.im just glad it hasnt affected u mentally.ur a strong girl!!!!!
Reply:Don't say that, there are people that love and care about you. But before you can accept other people loving you, you have to love yourself first. It sounds to me that you don't love yourself. Also you can't love anyone else until you love yourself. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. So what you don't have the perfect skin but look around there are a lot of people who don't. Two managers at my work have acne and they are very successful. Acne doesn't have to ruin your life if you don't allow it to.
(hug) I just gave you an internet hug.
Reply:same here. i lost out on life.im 42 and still have a mentality socially of a 14 year old.one day out of school i got a job in a hot sweaty factory and i have been there ever since.24 years.i thought when accutane came out that was my savior but it didnt work.i have tried most everything.my lifes about over.what the h@ll am i gonna do now.i spent tons of money and time dealing with my face.how r u suppose to compete in life when ur self esteem is so low about urself because u feel like s@it about your face.you know if anything i liked girls too much!if ur a guy and u have a low self esteem ur gonna spend ur whole life alone.i went on hrt 11 months ago because of the chance to finally have clear skin.i just dont care anymore.i have great skin now but the mental damage is done.i hit 20 and thought my skin would clear up then 30 and my skin is still no better.now i hit 40 and i still had the same s@itty skin as i had as a teen.this is not normal.i guess the only reason im still wanting to live is to help other people that have severe acne.we get laughed at with our problem and i know nobody has ever loved me.i think i got hugged once in my life.least most people that have life threatning diseases are loved.so i know how bad ever one on this board feels with severe acne.im sure this has something to do with ur adrenal gland secreting to much aldesterone cause ur sebaceous glands to produce to much sebum.since taking spiro and premerin my skin has had 0 breakout.i mean none at all and i had the worlds worst skin.maybe i should have been a girl.i used to get mistakin for a girl all the time.i was so afraid anything i would eat would cause my face to breakout i was diagnosed in the 80s as anorexic.i do weight 163 lbs now but i used to have a body like heidi klum.i cant have sex but i can still love a girl.like i say it just doesnt matter anymore because i will probably spend the rest of my life alone anyways.at least the younger ones on this board have a better chance of having complete remission of their acne because new treatments r coming out all the time.i dont mind if i had severe acne on the rest of my body but on my face is the worst.
Reply:I know what you mean. I missed out on everything in high school: the prom, dating, parties, popularity, friends, attending football and basketball games, class participation, after school activities, etc., etc.
I also missed out on the fun in college and for several years out of college.
Since I can't get my life back there is no point in dwelling on it. Now that I am older and having lost my father recently I realize how important it is to live each day as if it were your last. But the old behavioral patters of holding back are hard to break.
Reply:I know what exactly you mean. I had very bad acne (not lot of breakouts but the collection of scars and slow healing of pimples) left my skin in very bad condition during my high school years. I missed a lot and i mean alot. I refused to go out with friends because i was too self conscious about my skin. I didnt go to places during noon time. I was scared that if i participated in school sport teams, it would cause my acne to worsen.In my 4 year of high schools, if i didnt had this stupid acne, i could have come out with so much good memories. Starting my first year of university now………my skin is less oily and a lot less redmarks and pimples. I hope they go away.
