i'm 5 months from 19 and have acne. it sucks. Ive had it since i was 13 and have been taking medication since i was 14. really doesnt do much but reduce the amount i have. I still have quite a few active spots at any one time. this december i'm hoping to go on roaccutane. i've tried so hard to avoid it but really i think it's the only thing that will work. I've tried altering my diet and working out more etc etc. I've drank lemon juice to cleanse my body, i drink pints and pints of water a day. none of it really makes much difference. i'm sure if you had acne purely from a bad diet that stuff would work but if it's hormonal i dont think it does much at all.
so this december i will be starting roacctutane. i'm not looking forward to the sideeffects (apparently in the first month you get worse than youve ever got before, chapped lips, nosebleeds, headaches, lethargy) but i've had enough. i'm sick of being too selfconcious to look people direct in the eyes for anything longer than a few seconds.
