What's worth living for then? I don't want to spend my life eating shit just to prevent my face from getting a little red and greasy. I ain't fat or have any problems with diabetes, just like I know I'll never have a girlfriend, so why the fuck should I bother?
Has anyone here gone through similar situation? How did you deal with it? Was it worth something?

Shit advice. Do these things:
>Don't touch your face. Ever.
>Wash your hands. A lot.
>Wash your face at least once a day.
>Go outside and get some sunshine as much as you can. The sun helps with clear skin.
>>
Do this
>>34683819 and get yourself some proper acne gel, use it for a few months and if it doesn't work get on proper anti-acne medication.

>>34683819
>Don't touch your face. Ever.
Yeah, I stopped doing that recently and it got a little better. The other ones I already do.

>proper acne gel, use it for a few months and if it doesn't work get on proper anti-acne medication.
I'm currently using benzoyl peroxide (which doesn't seem to work) and the doc won't give me any harder medication because he said my acne is not that bad.

>>34683775
just cut milk, and eat cheese, etc no more than 1 meal per day

doc told me i was lactose intolerant when i was a kid. he ended up misdiagnosing a deeper issue, but i still never drink milk and have never had issues with my face since then, even though i was covered in zits before

Yes actually I have for the past month almost entirely been cutting out dairy and also excessive amounts of sugar. So no coffee for example. I have also been taking probiotics and I definitely noticed a big difference.

Before I started this I was drinking hot chocolate with milk a lot for like a week and my skin was getting especially awful from that.

Since I have been cutting these problem foods my face is feeling a lot better. Not completely cleared but the difference is very noticeable anon.

Wait, what if the reason the sun helps with clearing skin is BECAUSE it makes it age faster?
Maybe OP still has the skin of a teenager. Perhaps if he waits a few years, he will have the clear skin of a 20 year old while still in his 30-40s.

There are tons of delicious dairy-free foods.

Try almond milk, soy milk, hemp milk...they're great.

Also there are many great dairy-free ice creams. Ben & Jerry's just released a new line of dairy free frozen desserts and they're fantastic (too expensive because they went with almond milk...soy milk would have made it a lot cheaper).

I have to say that cutting out dairy did NOT help my acne, though. It annihilated my constant stomachaches, heartburn, and ear infections though. So it was worth it.

Sun exposure does increase your risk of skin cancer, but it also increases your chances of living longer.

http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/heres-something-unexpected-sunbathers-live-longer-201606069738

It also helps depression with fewer side effects than psychiatric drugs.

It's similar to how drinking a little alcohol increases your risk of cancer, but it decreases your chances of all-cause mortality over a long timeframe.

>go to the dermatologist
>get prescribed Accutane
>take it over a period of 5 months

Over 6 years later, and my skin is still clear. Have had 0 breakouts
>>
>25 years old
>5 months into (second!) accutane treatment
>neck still looks like this
If accutane can't kill acne, what can?

That's not even bad though

>>34683775
I cut dairy and I still have plenty of acne. It's simply my awful genetics. Natures way of helping us not reproduce.
>>
>>34685650
Thanks. It was worse a few days ago. It's healing now. My skin is really sensitive to anything I put on it. That is the result of wearing foundation once ( and the foundation was anti-blemish)
>>
>>34685853
just stop wearing makeup you deceitful hussy, it fucks with your pores

I don't wear it often. But even using face cream fucks with my skin.

I'm nearly 22, this shit is supposed to be getting better as we age, not worse. God fucking damnit.

>just wash your face bro!
>just change your pillowcase bro!

25 years old, have had acne on face/shoulders/neck/back since age 14. I tried:
>basic hygiene (meme tier advice like >>34683819 )
>reddit skincare advice (exfoliate/benzoylperoxide/moisturising etc)
>no meat
>no grains
>no dairy
>solely drink water
>working out (cycling and jogging 3 days a week)
>suntanning
>zinc supplements
>vit A supplements
>nofap
>antibiotics (doxycycline) which made me shit liquid for 4 months after
>7 months of accutane
>5 months into second accutane treatment, with no sign of improvement
I can honestly say acne destroyed my life. 10 years later I have no self-esteem, no goals, no hope to ever love or be loved. I'm unironicaly considering to light my shoulders and neck on fire, because a burn scar looks less disgusting than this.
