Acne sucks so fucking bad

[Dopa]

About a year ago I went on accutane for like 8 months because I had EXTREMELY bad acne. I was way beyond "zit face" or "pizza face". I got to the point to where i had cistic acne bumps like half the size of pennies that covered my face and not an inch of my face was smooth nearly. Well after my treatment my acne got sooooo much better and for a while my face was smooth and vitrually acne free. All i had was red scars from the terrible acne i had. Now after about 6-8 months later after my treatment i'm starting to get bad acne all over again :( It's not even 1/4 as bad as it used to be but the pimples are starting to grow in both size and quantity. This sucks so fucking bad for me because i wnet through so much hell with that before to the point where i became suicidal and wanted to kill myself. And now i'm startin to break out bad all over again. I keep on telling my parents I need to go on accutane again but my bitch mom keeps on saying "oh it will get better during the summer" or "it's not as bad as before". I'm pissed because this is how it started out before. I try everything. I wash my god damn face with oxy I take Bactrum and i use some acne cream on my face that's supposed to be the strongest acne toppical cream.
I don't know what the fuck i will do this makes me uglier than i already am and i can't afford that believe me. I"m jealous as fuck at all you people who never had a god damn pimple in your fucking life like you some of you perfect fucks. YOU DON"T KNOW SHIT WHAT ITS LIKE. AND IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT ME THEN SAY IT I'D BUST YOU WIDE OPEN IN REAL LIFE I'M SO FUCKING PISSED. I'D BE IN JAIL CUSS YOU'D BE A DEAD GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKER.
I promise you that.

hahha...I hope you got your frustration out lol
don't fucking laugh at him

[3rdEyeVision]

talk to your physician or whatever

[pabloescobar209]

suicide has been known to destroy acne, because it gets to the source of the problem, and just wipes it out.

[JunkYard]

Tell your mom to get off her ass, and get you some of that shit you were on before, man! (Go to Dr, or whatever) There is no point in making you suffer through another outbreak no matter how 'less' severe it is than the last time...Especially if you get suicidal because of it! Acne can be a major problem in the teenage years, and this is during a time when you are already 'very' self-conscious about appearance!

Make her understand, bro, or you'll end up like last time . . . Let her know!

I promise you that.

How old are you?

Can you go to your doctor alone?

Insurance?

How did you feel on the accutane? It's caused some problems with people feeling suicidal on it.

[Dopa]

I'm 16. After reading what i wrote i feel retarded now. I didn't realize i used so many cuss words :(

[JunkYard]

Does that Pro-Active stuff work? They make it look great on TV! Might be an alternative to Accutane if it increases suicidal thoughts . . .

[yoda]

I'm 16. After reading what i wrote i feel retarded now. I didn't realize i used so many cuss words :(

its ok. its kinda normaly for someone your age, not to the extremes though. but keep like begging your mom, and if she sees that it gets worse if annoying her to death didnt work, then maybe she will comply.

[Dopa]

I heard it's not as good as they say it is. I'm thinkin laser treatment would be the way to go but i'm not sure about taht. I wish there was a way to just disable or destroy your oil glands.

[yoda]

it could be habits too, like eating sweets. if you munch out alot on twinkies and ho hos, your face will pay the price.

[tootsie roll]

I'm 16. After reading what i wrote i feel retarded now. I didn't realize i used so many cuss words :(

Ehh, don't worry about that dude.

Now, can you get to your doctor by yourself? Make an appt. to see him and explain what's happening again. If you can't afford the medicine on your own and need help, tell that to the DR and ask if he has a bunch of samples he can give you. Just tell him/her that mom isn't stepping up and they'll help you.

[3rdEyeVision]

wipe anti-persperint on your cheeks every mornin :D :thumbsup:

[Dopa]

Yeah that could be it at my work i drink alot of soda because after teh rushes we get a lot of down time so that's pretty much all you can do. Man that got alot of frustration out. 12 cuss words in one post that's pretty bad lol. That anger spike wasn't really directed at anyone btw.

[JunkYard]

Great advice, tootsie roll! It is common practice for Dr's to give out samples. He/she wouldn't have a problem at all giving you some if your mom doesn't step up . . .

[tootsie roll]

I heard it's not as good as they say it is. I'm thinkin laser treatment would be the way to go but i'm not sure about taht. I wish there was a way to just disable or destroy your oil glands.

There is a pill that can help that. It's an older medicine call propanthanol.
You can ask about that too. I personally used it long ago, for a different reason but it made me never sweat and killed oil glands.

[tootsie roll]

Also hon, drink tons of water. At least 8 tall glasses a day.:thumbsup:

[tootsie roll]

Also.....if you work in a place that fries food---get outta there and work someplace different.

[Dopa]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone i didn't get the response i thought i was ging to get for posting a thread about acne. I thought i was going to get flammed and made fun of by those of you that don't know what it's like to have terrible acne.

Thanks.
There is no reason in this day and age for anybody to suffer like this.
I know he's concerned about his looks but it's gotta also physically hurt.
:(

yeah cut down the soda. ill have little outbreaks if i have too many cookies or something while i munch out.

i recommend deer park, my favorite water

Only a complete asshole would make you feel bad about this.

I have a cousin that had a problem and I worked for a young man who had a problem. It's not funny and it's a serious problem.

I give you much credit for being honest and asking for help.:thumbsup:

[TakeFlight]

i heard fresh semen clears up acne, give it a SHOT:thumbsup:


just go see the doctor yourself and have him talk to your mom, or maybe you could put something that causes acne on your parents face or makeup or facewash

dont worry about it. not everyone in the world is an ass. and whatever problem you have, somebody else on earth will have it too, and peopel can help you through their experioences.

[eddievanzant]

Hahahahaha...
What a pussy... looks don't matter unless you want to be liked by losers... of course, I'm one of those "never had a pimple in my life" guys, so I guess my opinion doesn't matter. I've had pimples, like one every few months.

[Reefer Rogue]

My friend was on accutane and he said it caused him to have mood swing and suicidal thoughts. His acne got better though. Get back on it or get some proactive, that shit's good.

[Kokujin X]

That sucks man... you know though, when people have a lot of acne it really doesn't stick out if that helps any. I'll see people with loads of acne but I think my mind just doesn't registure it or something. If its someone who has mostly clear skin and gets a pimple or something, then im like, whoa.

I really havn't had acne problems, I mean I get crappy pimples every once in a while but not straight up acne...

[chisme]

dont worry man your not alone
there are poeple that will understand
its just allot easier to type it then to say it to someone face to face cos you may be embarrassed and i geuss u get reminded about it everytime u catch someone looking at you....im with ya man
hopefully when were ''older'' as in you know settlled down in our own houses and stuff we'll have the resources to fix these things abut ourselves we hate the most .all i can say is your not alone man were with ya

I promise you that.
i understand you completely, its so fuking bad, i was on roaccutane for 6 months (the average is 4 months i think and i had 2 extra months, and man those pills are expensive!!) my pimples were becoming violet not red lol. during the course of the pills i washed my face 3 times daily with effaclar (by la roche posay) and had a cream which dried out the pimples called differine (by la roche posay too)
after i stopped pimples started to grow again but stopped after 3 weeks. this was 3 years ago. now i still have a pimple here and there and still use the face wash and the cream. but its not that bad. though i have scarring in my face from the acne which is bad.

my suggestions:
greasy food is not directly related with acne but it does not help.
drink lots and lots of water, it helps
i found the cream i use really great (differine)
the doctor told me laser treatment is to remove the scarring, and if you still have acne laser treatment can make it worse

if you want to ask me anything go ahead, i'll try to help since i've been through it

[Az.]

yeah dude...i would go with the water thing aswelll....isnt it like 2 liters a day your supposed to drink??

Try that....

Simon Wills, is that you?

Hahahahaha...
What a pussy... looks don't matter unless you want to be liked by losers...

Right, so when youre at a bar and a girl looks at you, she thinks to herself 'damn, hes fugly but looks like he has a nice personality'?

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

I get/got spots on my back every so often, but every single one of them turned into a scar, like a small/medium sized red scar.. Slowly but surely they're getting less noticable, but it just sucks to think "My whole life I'm going to be conscious of them everytime I take my shirt off" ... Now that's not nice to think about...

I feel for you man, hopefully something can be done to sort this out for you.. but I guess some people are just destined to have acne whatever they do to clear it up!

Also eddivanzant.. if I had any respect for you before this, I'd have just lost it all 'cause that was like one of the most hurtful things you could have said in his time of need.. I hope you lose an eye so people can call you a pussy just 'cause you only have one eye! :mad:

[LOVElife]

It may sound "cliche", but you MUST drink plenty of Water, and Eat a balanced Healthy diet!

Also try and keep your face free of grease at all times, like if you work in a hot environment or get a dirty face then all these bad gases or foreign bodies get into your pores and can be nasty for some people.

Thankfully, I have never suffered with Spots, guess in 26 now so wouldn't be likely to have Acne Face, but I eat well and keep grease away!

Eat Healthy, Don't lie in bed all day, get NATURAL light, occupy youre mind on somethin positive and most importantly REMEMBER MATE ITS ONLY DAMAGED PORES!

Take it Easy Bred!

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Someone I've known forever, she went to the doctors about acne and they said one of the best treatments is natural light, 'cause it like.. I dunno dries out the skin and y'know does wonders for your skin... Maybe go to a tanning salon and see if that helps at all... Maybe your doctor/GP could prescribe a sunbed to you, or you could just go on holiday and lie out in the sun all day :).. Unless it's sunny where you live!

[sim667]

i started coming out with cistic acne, went to the doctor, he perscribed me some stuff, it was gone in 2 week, give it a go

[eddievanzant]

Right, so when youre at a bar and a girl looks at you, she thinks to herself 'damn, hes fugly but looks like he has a nice personality'?
Right, so you only quote half a post?

[Kid Dynamite]

i never had a pimple in my life. But i understand where your coming from. Its not nice to get picked on and shit. Just remember when it comes down to it how important is the way you look? Everyone gets so preoccupied with appearance nowadays, who gives a shit. its all for show..

[VoidLivesOn]

I had this friend who had reeeaaalll bad acne like pimples and white heads alllllll over his cheeks.SO another friend, jokingly, slapped the shit out of him.Needless to say he probably popped every single pimple on that side of the kids face.Well he looks at his hand and there was puss and little white head tops and blood on it.Kids face didn't look much better either....

How can you jokingly slap someone so hard and enough times that you pop all the spots on his face? I hope he got onto the wrong end of a .45 later that day ;)

[eddievanzant]

Hahahahaha... I'm gonna try that with a pizza face I know.

you really arent funny at all, you just come off as a douchebag.
honestly.

anyways dopa, i used to have some bad acne too. i found that if i drank alot of water throughout the day, drank at least 2-3 BIG glasses at night (sometime before i went to sleep), and cut back on the mcdonaldes, soda, candy, chocolate all that shit, my acne was WAY better.

if i just had one candy bar or 1 soda i would get a few pimples, but if i didnt eat that shit and i drank alot of water, i would get no pimples

good luck

You wannabe "Jackass" kids.

"DUde smack me as as hard as you fucking can so we can entertain ourselves while I scream like a little bitch to show off in front of the dumbass's being entertained by this."

[briman]

i had terible acne back in the day it sucks so bad if u can get tht cream do so and also dont let everyone get you down if they are taking the piss just well atleast im not a pussy or sumshit like tht

[sharpezor]

i knew a guy in high school that had extreme fucking acne and he was really happy and had a high self-esteem, had girlfriends and shit. all just because of his personality. it goes a long way.

[Swizzy89304]

Right, so you only quote half a post?



Rgt, o yu ny qoe af ps?

Yep.

[t3chyo]

try proactive or this stuff you can get at target or walmart called Acne Free, it is cheaper and is pretty much the same as proactive, around $20.

I was going to say the same thing... The tv ads are pretty convincing...

Hey yo. You really think your tough huh bitch? Try that with that dude around me and it'll be the last you would ever slap. You remind me of the type of guy that talks shit and then gets the hell beaten out of him because he gets to damn cocky with conceit. Your not tough bitch. Come down to St.Louis and i'll break your pretty boy face. Get the fuck over here and bring a weapon because if you dn't you'll be a dead mother fucker. You are nothing.

[cameron123240]

hey man, i was looking into it, and there is an procedure called "Blue-Light", and most dermatologists can do it, and it seems to get rid of it purty good!!:D

Hahaha shut up you stupid poseur. You're just being prejudice. I'm nothing like that. I wouldn't slap anyone who didn't deserve it, and has it crossed your mind I may have been joking?

[Dopa]

Oh man i've jsut had a bad day that's all.

[eddievanzant]

Okay no worries.

[kiwi]

:confused: Now I realise that this is gonna sound weird and shit but try this before you knock it.......at night before you go to bed after a hot shower, give your face a wipe with some vinager. The oil glands are more active at night and by doing the vinager thing it will dry the glands out while you sleep. I really hope that this is some help to you:thumbsup:

[eddievanzant]

I can second that. My friend uses vinegar too.

[benagain]

Good luck with the acne man. It'll eventually go away again. that's about the best I can say :thumbsup:

[eddievanzant]

I read a bit about acne on wikipedia and it said that basically the only external influence is MSG (an artificial taste enhancer - sorry if I seem condescending). You could try eating less fast food and more fresh fruits.

[Aeta]

w00t never really get it, ever

[Swizzy89304]

Ive tried toothpaste on mine sometimes. Dries them out overnight, and leaves you smelling gorgeous aswell.

[chisme]

yeah toothpast is a urband legenm round my ends everyone i knwo knwos that tricks and use it in secret fuck it ive done it sumitmes

just dab a small blob of toothpaste ov the head os spot and over night because the toothpaste keeps it bacteria free on the surface and the menthol makes the swelling go down round the edges......toothpast has saved me a couple of dates ill tell ya that.



eddie thats just cold hearted,.

[Storm Crow]

I'm old enough to be your granny, so listen up! The thing that you should concentrate on is your diet! Try roobos tea (aka red tea--Stash brand is about $3), doesn't taste bad and boosts your immune system (zits are an infection). Secondly, eat things with vitamin A (yams, pumpkin, carrots, yellow corn, liver). I'm smoking one right now, so I can't remember the name, but there is a tribe in the Phillipines that the kids have no acne--as long as they stay on the traditional diet. The traditional diet is based on yams and fish. You need to totally revamp your diet! Eat more veggies and fruit, and a lot fewer burgers and fries. Start taking a natural multi-vitamin and mineral suppliment. Think of this, if you saw an animal with skin like yours, would you think it was well? A vet, after ruling out illness, would check the diet. The average PET food has more time spent on its nutritional values than does the average human food! They insure that our food won't poison us, but they don't worry about the nutritional values because WE are supposed to be able to choose an adiquate diet. Most folks don't know the difference between an oil soluable vitamin from a water soluable one- how can they make informed choices? And you'd do better asking your verernarian about nutrition than your doctor. Medical doctors have only hours of training in nutrition, vets have to learn much more about how food affects wellbeing. The average modern diet sucks, nutritionally. Start reading labels- if it has "artificial", "as a preservative" or words you never ran into before- maybe you should think twice about putting it in your body. Learn about what you body needs to be healthy ( calories per day, how much carbs, fat and salt you need). My advice- start reading Prevention magazine (less than $15 a year or at your public library), dump the junk food and start eating better, and if you're a couch potato, get outside for a walk or play some basketball after school. Take care of yourself! (end of granny rant) : )

[Drugman Joe]

if you wipe anything on your face make it pachoulli oil, it is a natural acne remedy.

[friendowl]

or join a gang
i got lots of homies that have faces
that looked like they've been in the DIP
from roger rabbit.tore up
but they got fine ho's and get respect
i honestly think some girls like pimples.
work on your character thats more important.

[missmarley]

poor u and ur acne

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Try eucalyptus (sp? whatever kuala bears eat :)), that works pretty well. Boil the kettle and fill a bowl with it, then hold your face over it letting the steam open all your pores up (do it after a shower too) then rub a cloth or something a little bit rough over your face, it'll pull out all the blackheads.. no blackheads, no spots :D
