> twf horrible acne I don't know what to do. Are there

why don't you just take a fucking shower? I have never washed my face in my life and i have yet to get acne.

>>34686664
Dermatologist.

Accutane is a miracle drug but it is very hard on your system so get those regular blood tests.

Have you considered seeing a dermatologist?

They could probably prescribe you some ointments.

You seriously look like something out of a shitty horror game.

This. I have cystic acne and acne scars - i look almost like freddy krueger. Besides even if i'd somehow get rid of acne related problems, i stutter. The life is rigged.

Ok, so I just give up and plan suicide.

>>34686664

get antibiotics. I am currently on some.

also you have to manage your sebum production since overproduction can lead to clogged pores and acne. Not sure how it works since I find it hard to control it. Only thing you can do it is diet control and drinking a lot of water.

Everyone here is going to give meme advice and troll you; the real answer is that it's different for everyone.
Genetics are the ultimate meme. Personally, when I put vaseline on my face before I go to sleep it helps. My face is still pretty scarred with acne and pimples regularly. Good luck.

Realize that most people don't really care or even see it. You pay more attention to your face than most people do.
You can mitigate problems mostly with the usual clean/pillow/moisturize meme, but things still pop up on me pretty frequently.
Just accept that it's part of your face and it sucks. I still have yet to accept that, but I've had acne for just about half my life.
It's a cruel joke.

This is literally their checklist:

This is why I'm never taking this shit. Especially now that I've been doing Epiduo for so long that it would completely invalidate all the time and effort if accutane did end up working, and on top of all the fucked sideffects it may or may not cause. Such bullshit.

Honestly neither of them really cared. I scored with both of them and still am with one.
They have their imperfections too. Women are pretty shit but they are insecure. Decent women can empathize with your own insecurity.
That being said, Stacey will not.

Why do people even have kids if they have shitty genes, especially if both parents do. Dont they realize what they are doing.

>>34687669

does working out actually help? I thought sweat would just worsen it?

>>34687684
This is why I vow to never have children. My genes are a crime against nature.

In your guys' experience, is cleaning your face with natural products or more chemical heavy stuff better for your face? I've been using goatmilk soap and it feels like it isn't too harsh or cause any irritation.

>>34687705
Sweat cleans your pores

It makes it worse if you dont shower after working out since the pores close up and get clogged


As long as you shower while still warm/sweating you should notice a huge improvement

>>34687705
>>34687775

I live close to a swimming pool that has a steam room, ive started going there every morning for 15-20 minutes and sweating has helped my acne a lot.

This. Isotretinoin works 100%. But you might deal with side effects until the end of your life. I stopped taking it like 2 years ago and my mouth/lips are still perma dry and when I drink something I have to go to toilet after like 30 mins and pee it out again

>>34687812
Yeah if you have acne you should first research and understand what causes acne which is just clogged pores due to oil/bacteria getting trapped in there


Taking hot showers will open your pores just make sure you turn it into a cold shower the last few seconds so your pores close up and stay clean

>>34686836
I had pretty bad acne and have almost zero scars left!

>>34687888

Maybe you're actually adopted. Maybe your mom actually had you with someone else besides your father. Im sorry anon.

wait what, my fucking Derm didn't tell me this, is this why my hair is shit? Fucking kike

im covered in acne all over my body like 50 spots im allergic to something and i dont know what

all my body is red raw from itching, kill me now, i look like a fucked up plague victim, the spots against my pale skin

>>34689436

Its a possible side effect. And if your family already has a history and receding hair the risk is greatly increased.

>>34687705
Bruh, are you really going to take advice from a fatfuck who tells you that changing your diet and exercising will fix your acne?

>>34687650
>teeth with permanent white marks from not brushing them when I was younger
never heard of this. I have some white marks but that's from excessive fluoride as a young kid. Did anybody else's elementary schools have them do a mandatory fluoride thing every week or so? Nurse would wheel in a bunch of cups and we had to swish it in our mouths. I got except when my mom started to realize the white marks on my teeth

>>34689491
My dentist said something along the lines of "The white at the top of your (top front) teeth is because God made them that way... or you went a really long time without brushing as a kid."

>>34687775
>It makes it worse if you dont shower after working out since the pores close up and get clogged
So are you supposed to shower directly after working out? I usually get back from the gym and wait until around 10:00p to take my shower, which is around 5 hours since I've exercised

>>34689541
Sweat has already dried and shit by then senpai

my boyfriend has pretty bad acne and i love him anyway, so do not feel so hopeless as to believe no one will ever want to talk to or kiss you.

frequently changing his pillowcase helps reduce it though.

I had acne, tried accutane and it fucked me up in the head (made me violent and even more depressed). Now, I have a ton of acne scars. It used to make me feel unconfident etc. but now I don't really care about how people judge me. I don't crave a gf anymore, it would be an unnecessary luxury to have one. Godspeed, anons.

>>34686863
Pretty much. I was good looking until I got off my acne medication to try something else. Face suddenly ruined forever in less than a month. Still, try accutane, and you can shave without looking in the mirror. I haven't looked at my reflection in over a year.

>>34686782
imagine licking that

Reminder that all the supposed "permanent" side effects of accutane are a meme spread by (((dermatologists))) so they can keep selling you useless creams. It's just a megadose of Vitamin A, and it works wonders for most people. Won't fix your scars though.

I had bad back acne a few months ago. I would shower 3 times a week. I started going to the gym everyday and would shower soon after and now the backne is much better. I think I just needed to shower more plus I think sweating out all the toxins made it better.

Don't blame the drug for your shit genetics bro. Those are all just stories, with no basis in reality, and no scientific evidence to back them up.

Anyone else have more than just surface scars? This shit hollowed out the left side of my face and turned me into a deformed freak. God is real, and he hates us.

>Those are all just stories, with no basis in reality, and no scientific evidence to back them up.

total bullshit

PSA

Accutane literally changes your genetic code by affecting the retinoic acid in your DNA. It is a synthetic RA. Many genes rely on this molecule which is why accutane has such potentially horrible side effects.

After taking accutane, you can consider yourself a genetically engineered organism, or GMO for short.

There really aren't enough threads for us severe acne bros. It's one of the greatest curses somebody could have. I'm already a manlet, but I would trade a couple inches if it meant having clear skin.
I look like I got hit by birdshot on both sides of my face, and have to deal with children staring every day at work.

How often do you guys think about how much effort you put into this? Realizing that other people don't have to think about their face constantly is terribly depressing.

>>34693361
I think about makeup a lot, it seems like it would save me on special occassions.

I'm so glad I only get blackheads and one or 2 cysts on my face. My back is absolutely JUST mode unfortunately .

i had a horrible cyst on my face in ninth grade and now there's a permanent, noticeable slight dent where it once was. when it was still on my face back then, it was fucking horrible. it'd leak pus and when i'd wake up in the morning it'd just be a huge bright white spot on my face and there was nothing i could do about it. every day i'd notice everyone including teachers looking at the cyst instead of my eyes while talking with me. one day i got so fucking fed up with it i just jumped in the shower and threw everything i had at it. acne medicine, pads, put my face right up to the shower head, etc.

finally the whiteness disappeared and it never came back but the huge cyst was still there and took another couple weeks to go away. once again, there's still an indent where it was. it's probably a permanent scar. a reminder of how ugly i was in ninth grade. it was a shit year for me, too. failed most classes, barely made it out. fuck me entirely, i'm not letting myself live to 30 years old.

>>34686664
Stop eating dairy. You are likely lactose intolerant. I had acne for my entire high school life until I discovered this. Just weeks after I stopped eating dairy my acne cleared right up.

Also stop eating general shit food and take a multivitamin.

How do I clear up scars? I feel like I'd be better looking if my face wasn't so rigid.
