I can't deal with acne anymore!!!?
I have severe nodule cystic acne and I can't deal with it anymore. I have been through virtually every treatment out there except for accutane and I can't start it because of other health issues. Ive been severely depressed and I hate life and don't want to be alive on most days. My life sucks and has for quite some time as this has been going on for years and now it's gotten to the point where I can't go on with t anymore. People judge me and you can tell me to ignore them all you want, but it isn't going to change the fact. I don't know what to do anymore. Don't tell me to change my diet or anything like that because I've already been on the raw diet for a couple years. I haven't had any alcohol, pizza, ice cream, or any other dessert or snack in years all because of this shitty acne. I'm uncomfortable and in pain most days and nobody around me understands what I have to go through on a daily basis. They're all like "why don't you just wash your face?" Next time someone says something like this to me I'm actually going to kill them on the spot. Somebody that stupid doesn't deserve to live. Any advice? I can't do this anymore. All I think about is my face all day everyday. It's affecting my school work which in turn is affecting my future career if I even have one at this point. Girls think it's disgusting and I've never even kissed a girl and I'm in college now. I feel like I'm going to be alone forever at this rate and none of this will get better.
I can't take my acne anymore?
I was also suffering from lots of Acne all over my face. I can understand your pain. I tried everything. Many Antibiotics, Accutane etc etc. I consulted dermatologist. These medicines works only for 2-4 days. I wasted lots of money. Try this one. Only following things worked for me. I am writing to you becoz i know this Acne problem is very annoying. I was also very very depressed. 1. Take proper diet. Avoid Oily, Spicy, Diary products, Sugar, Coffee, Tea until u get clear face. Drink three Ltr water in a day 2. Make sure u sleep at least for 8 hour(In Night). Dont sleep in morning. 3. Most important step> Take a Nutmeg mix, crush it and make a paste with fresh water, Apply this paste all over your face in morning after bath for 1 hour. After an hour wash your face with warm water. Do the same process before bed. 4. Only use Cetaphil or Emodel Cleanser instead of using any face wash or soap. Use this cleanser only twice firstly in morning before applying nutmeg paste and secondly at night before applying nutmeg paste. (Note: At the very first time apply nutmeg paste on a very small portion of your face to check that it suits you or not. You would feel little bit irritation but its normal becoz it will heal your acnes) Best of Luck! And Wish You Will Get a Clear Face As Soon As Possible Take Care!! The Most important part of above article is Nutmeg Face Pack. And its my personal experience. Eat Healthy, Drink Water, Take Proper Meals 3 times in a Day.
I CANT STAND MY ACNE ANYMORE!!!!???
Im 13 (almost in a week). I have pretty bad hormonal acne. I fixin to go to the dermatologist in about 2 weeks or so. I am scared of pills ( Cuz I heard it can give u kidney failure or damage) And no cleanser works.... I've used from Neutrogena to Proactiv and NOTHING WORKS TO THE POINT WHERE MY FACE IS TOTALLY CLEAR. Idk what to do. I am going to a dermatologist that is "known for curing acne" What should I ask my dermatologist about this? Let's say they want to give my a cleanser or something like that.... will that work better than the cleansers I just mentioned? Or is there a pill that won't cause kidney failure? HELP?!
ACNE cant stand it anymore!!!?
I've had acne since I was ten, I'm now thirteen. I get bullied for it even by my step sisters (I have 13 step sisters so it's a lot of criticism okay.) It's all over my forehead, a few on my cheeks, & blackheads on my chin and nose. I've tried everything! Including: ProActiv, Neutrogena, Neutrogena pink grapefruit, Clearasil, AcneFree, Olay, accutane (from dermatologist), Clearasil rapid action pads, blackhead removing strips, SOAP, something in a blue bottle..(it washed off), Noxema, alcahol, TOOTHPASTE, sun, ice, over the past 3 and a half, almost 4 years. I'm sick of it because everybody bullies me because of it and everybody I know has perfect skin! And my skin is very oily.I just want it gone. Every thing that my dermatologist has prescribed for my doesn't work.. Help. Any OTHER products? Or home remedies?
I can't deal with the stress and anxiety anymore. It's too much and it's getting worse. What should I do?
Hey, you aren’t alone. You are not the only person feeling this or going through this.I’ve been there and I’m there now.(I’m writing anonymously because I have co-workers on Quora.)For me, medication didn’t work at first. I had to go through like 5 different kinds, and then different doses of each to figure out what would help me with anxiety. I take three different pills now. Geesh, it seems like a lot, but there’s a big difference between my before and after, I’m much better on the meds.And I see a therapist weekly. And I talk to trusted friends, if I can…but not always can I share what I’m feeling with others that know me, I worry it’s too much for them to hear or handle.So, I try other things like…write my feelings, read blogs, read sites like Quora, play solitaire on my iphone, draw and scribble, scream and cry, take walks and long showers, pet my dog and watch netflix series…I guess there is no one answer. I have to do many things, and each day, sometimes each minute I try to do something…there is no one thing that makes me feel better.I don’t think about suicide as much now. It still crosses my mind when things get rough. Like if I blow up and yell at a friend - that makes me feel like the worst piece of shit, and then I think how much better their life would be if I wasn’t around. And then, I get over it and remember that they aren’t perfect either, no one is.So, for me it’s not just what I feel, it’s also what I say, or how I didn’t do something or how I feel like I hurt someone or how I did something dumb or wrong in the past...My trigger is guilt and shame. I don’t know what triggers you, do you know?No day is all rainbows and sunshine. Some days are pretty near perfect - and not as often are the shit days… But one thing is certain, no matter what you are fighting, you are not alone. Everyone is fighting, EVERYONE. Some people are better at smoothing out their cracks than others…don’t let them fool you.I’m glad you wrote this question. Keep asking, and get specific…what caused you to feel this way right now? Did someone say something, or not do something you wished…whatever it is that made you come here to write, focus on that thing that started this feeling, and then dig deeper - look that up on Quora. Like, “why is being friends with my ex so damn hard?”You are not alone. I feel this way, too. And, hey, we found each other here, we have something in common.Hello new friend! <<
I'm at my breaking point. I cannot take having acne anymore.?
I had a similar problem a few years ago. Home remedies, proactive, or any store bought products didn't do anything for my skin. I ended up going to the dermatologist and he put me on this pill accutane. It changed my life. Some people are against is because they are scared of the side effects but I didn't have any side effects (and neither did my friends) except dry skin and super chapped lips. If you're a girl, the process for accutane is kind of annoying (you need to take a pregnancy test at the doctor every month and take a sex/pregnancy quiz every month before you get your refills) but it's still definitely worth it and a lot of health insurance covers the cost almost completely. While I was on accutane, my dermatologist also prescribed RetinA and some other topical medicine to put on my skin. Within 4 months I had amazing skin. It's not a miracle worker, so you're still likely to break our with stress and during your period when your hormones are crazy, but for the most part I've been acne-free for the past 5 years. Definitely worth looking into the accutane pill with your dermatologist. Good luck, don't give up!
If I stop Accutane mid-course, is that safe? I can't stand the side effects anymore.?
If I stop Accutane mid-course, is that safe? I can't stand the side effects anymore.? I have cystic acne, and I have tried everything before the doctor finally put me on Accutane. I have been on it for 3 months now, the first two months at 20mg, this month at 40mg. I can't do it anymore. Some of the side effects are fine and I can deal with, such as the nosebleeds, dry skin and lips, etc. I cannot stand how fragile my skin is to the sun, i was out in the sun for an hour and my legs got a second degree burn because I forgot sun screen there. My legs are now blistering and new skin is forming. I called and told the doctor, he told me aloe and to wrap them up. Also, I am having vaginal dryness making it raw and painful down there, sometimes burning randomly. Been checked for UTI and other infections, it has to be just vaginal dryness. I don't know if drinking lots of water will help this, but I cant stand this medicine anymore. My doctor says he doesn't know how much longer my course will be, he says it depends on each person. I don't want to be left with a dry vagina the rest of my life because of not wanting acne. I am completely cleared up with my acne, but he says I haven't done enough of it for it to stay that way. But I am almost not caring if it comes back due to these side effects.
