This is the first time I have posted a message, but I feel could help to do this I felt at least a little * better. Im back to school tomorrow to move into my new apartment, and all I want to do is excited to be . but my skin is out of control. Ive tried everything under the sun for my acne . from Differin to Accutane, but nothing seems to work. Im currently on minocycline, Benzaclin, Tazorac, and birth control, all in an attempt to make something work! This summer, my only goal was to make my skin so I could clean up a great year, but it seems that is asking too much. Its just really, really sucks becauuse all my roommates have a perfect skin and do not understand how it feels to wake up every morning and feel awful. Im almost at the end of my rope because Ive tried it all . as cliche as it sounds, this really is not fair. If I do not have acne, I would have a completely different person . down for anything, always looking to have a good time. Instead, I avoid them in public because even if I can manage a part of this acne to hide within a few minutes my skin started to doubt Will peel (with the medications Im on). I would really do anything to get rid of this . Im sick of crying every day and have absolutely no self-esteem. I can honestly say that I miss the life . and I look forward to nothing. I wish there was something I could do . ok and thanks for letting me vent . haha if only to some of these pent-up emotions can help clear my face .
Reply:Wow, I could have written that post. My goal for the summer was the same thing – to get the acne under control. I just bought a new house so this SHOULD be a very exciting time for me, BUT, with my skin like this ive been hiding out too. My parents wanted to go see my new house (being constructed) last week and i refused to go because of my house, i couldnt bear for my own parents to see me like this!! Shopping is something I'm getting a bit better at – in the past i wouldnt go out but now am willing to as i will never see those people again. Only negative thing that has happened was when i ran into an old high school friend last week when i was looking my absolute worse – i can just imagine what she was thinking!! anyway, just wanted to let you know you are not alone, try getting out a bit more – thats what ive been doing – its hard but it feels better than being cooped up inside 24/7.
Reply:Isn't stress, hormones related to acne? After reading a few articles online about this subject, I'm pretty sure that acne is some-what induced or atleast is influenced by stress.
I'd say take it easy. Do other things you feel more comfortable with your life to improve health and avoid stress. I think there's no need to bombard yourself with several medications at one time, hoping for results.
If at the meantime you feel bothered to be out in public, then find other activities that you can benefit from. i.e. jogging, or perhaps going to the gym. The public will always be around, but finding and getting used to the right crowd shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, living a healthy and fit life can probably save most of the costs from paying for skin medications.
Keep it natural, maybe with a few products on the side. I don't really like the idea of being overly 'chemicalised' or involving a lot of skin products that in some way use or are produced with chemicals.
Just my humble opinion, hope this helps.
