Hey, not sure if this really fits in here (but acne is a medical condition so...)

I have suffered from acne from age 11 to now (19) and its really really getting me down. I have horredous scarring on both cheeks as well as high red deep spots (the kind with no head just one massive red lump under your skin) on both cheeks and chin. I have tried EVERY over the counter treatment and some work for a week- then my skin flares up and "burns" with continued use. I know this may sound vain and not important but at nearly 20 years old I have had enough- its getting to i walk face down so my hair covers it.

Does any one have any advice on treatments or... at this stage i will try anything.

thanks guys

Sorry if this suggestion seems useless and corny (which it will) but what I tend to do is not care. I feel fine walking around with red spots on my face; as long as they aren't deadly or cantagious, I'm fine. I started getting them at around the same age and I used to care a lot, to the point where I was an outcast, but ever since I met this "person", they really helped me to understand that I shouldn't care about what I look like anymore.

my friend has the same problems and she went to her doctor and got pre- (how you spell it) some tablets and they have remove all of it, but most of it.

it nothing to be embrassed of anyways
i dont even noticed my friend's anymore unless some1 points it out, who cares? i know i dont

Us as women worry about how we look and one small pimple seems huge to us. I know ProActive has helped me alot in the past and green tea has seemed to really help peaple. Green Tea can also be in pill form. If it does not clear up you should see a specialist due to so much scarring that can last a life time. Good Luck..


Treat every day as if it will be the last day on earth...Dont go to bed mad!!!!

PM for you regarding acne.

Clear Pore (the gel) works, also retin-a (which is a prescription). One thing that sounds crazy but I've tried it and it somehow works is to put toothpaste on your face and let it soak for about 10 minutes.
