... i have something called seborrheic dermatitis. Way worse than acne. Hairline hair falls out so do eyebrows dramatically . It’s basically dandruff but on the skin and there’s no cure it always there. Ugh.

I have never ever had a single pimple on my face and almost never on the rest of my body, either. And I am 19 yrs old. I do not understand that struggle but I hope that people who struggle with it learn to love themselves. And remember that you are not gonna have it forever! and you are still beautiful with acne, that does not define who you are. Also remember that even with clear skin, people still have insecurities. So we must learn to love ourselves in every stage of life. Sending lots of love!

Good luck was near same, calmed after 2 months, then just past 5 months and flared up. Biggest kick in face. Couldn't believe it but also can cos feel cursed, like it teased to get better then it laughed I'm bk. Happened so much try something, bit of hope then it comes bk. Agree whatever it is, when it's on face it destroys you mentally. I'd advise to try treat it younger & don't wait cos with each flare up it leaves damage. Otherwise you'd be me near 20 yrs of flare ups now in late 30s with mixture of acne roascea sun blemish uneven skin that heals so slow so it's constant loop of visible scabs & blotchy.

Wish you well. I was on accutane back in march of 2019 and had to stop taking it on may 15th 2019. The day I realized my health was getting compromised. I developed extreme anxiety, insomnia and depression. It was surreal. I had panic attacks a couple times a week and cried out of helplessness. I remember reading the warnings online about mental health issues undergoing this drug and I just kinda laughed it off because I was desperate to clear my cystic acne. On top of the horrific mindset I had experienced, I developed painful IBS. Like...bleeding out of my asshole cuz even my stool wasnt lubricated cuz accutane dries the body inside and out. Did a ton of research before taking this drug and lemme tell you...This drug is poison. I remember after a mental breakdown and during a sleepless night I helplessly layed there thinking of how far I've gone to get clear skin and so much damage I had done to my body. It took 3 solid months for the side effects to wear off. I continued nursing school 2019 of august and here I am 2020 and still have acne but I'm in a healthy mindset now. After going to several dermatologists I have come to the conclusion that they genuinely dont care about their patients. I'm thinking of seeing an endocrinologist and do some intense blood work to see what I can do to change my lifestyle to cure my hormonal acne in a healthy fulfilling manner. Dermatologists will put you on spironolactone, antibiotics, birth control which is very harmful to the body and mind and lastly accutane the worst of them all. Not trying to scare you I hope you have a better experience!! I sure as hell didnt! Lol!

I can not get over how similar our experiences were and all the the things you said you gained from the experience is exactly how I see it now. I was 20 when my skin randomly broke out having never experienced anything other that a spot here or there. Experiencing severe acne was a massive struggle, mentally and physically and originally I was afraid of accurate, but it’s what cleared my skin too. So glad to see you out the other side. Feels like forever when you’re in it but it really does come to an end❤️

I've always struggled with acne, but when I was 18-21, I experienced TERRIBLE cystic acne just like yours! I went on accutane (40mg) for five months when I was 20, and it didn't clear up until I was 22. It was exhausting and so mentally challenging to not want to walk down the street near my college in fear that someone would look at me. I had coworkers asking me if I had tried washing my face, children would ask what was wrong with my face, etc. Thank you for sharing your struggle with this. Luckily my skin is mostly clear now! I tried SO many skincare products and routines, which just adds to the "Have you tried washing your face?" insult!

I was also on accutane and just got off last month. I really felt you on the last bit when you said how being in the bad state may lead you to being unkind to others as well as yourself. I definitely struggled mentally during the process and regret some things I said and how I reacted to things as well, but I would also say I wish I had some support from friends. If you know anyone on accutane, try to be there for them and try not to take everything that they say literally bc most of the time they have a difficult time filtering their thoughts and emotions (at least I did).
