Alright guys! I’ve had it with my blemishes and acne. Sometimes it’s okay, and sometimes it’s just bad. Especially after shaving. The worst places are on my neck and my forehead and upper-back/shoulders and chest usually. My forehead looks like it’s almost scarring and is always drier than any other part of my body, along with my shoulders and upper-back. I wonder how so many young adults my age have a perfectly acne-free, non-drying, scar-free face. It bothers me quite a bit. haha. Anyways, I have a pretty great diet, I drink a lot of water, I take a shower usually every morning, I exercise at least 2 days a week. What’s going on here?? I mean, of course it’s got a lot to do with genetics and what not, but my life style is pretty healthy. I use acne medications, but I usually test one for about a month or two, and then do nothing and nothing at all has changed, and I sometimes try another after awhile, and still nothing changes. Those chemicals don’t work on my skin, so those kinds of treatments are out of the question…. So… what about accutane? my friend was on it, and he is one of the happiest guys, but he was really depressed, but after he was done, he had pretty much no acne. I’m naturally mildly depressed, nothing being active and being around people can’t solve. It might worsen that depression and could have long term side affects… I’ve heard that it comes back wayyy worse after you stop using it, and harms your body, etc, etc. ANYWAYS, after all of that, what would you reccomend? Should I go on accutane? should I try some other type of medication? I’m 19 now, and it’s just pathetic that it’s never really cleared up. Anyone have a little insight on this? Thanks =)
Tried proactive for maybe two years. nada.
