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.
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
