Any advice?

Hello everyone. I have just began using this website, and I’m pretty happy that I found it. I can talk (type) openly about my acne. Well, let’s begin….

I got my “first pimple” when I was only 12 years old!! Now, I don’t know it that’s a young or normal age, but when it hit, it hit HARD! Within a week my face was almost completely broke out! People started talking to me less and less….I still had friends though. It never really lowered my self confidence when I had bad breakouts….it was just kind of painful.

Well…it didn’t even hurt until I tried proactiv…I think that thing is the biggest bunch of crap that I’ve ever heard….I used it and it made my blemishes big and purple…and I couldn’t smile laugh…and could barely talk. I went to the dermintologis and they just put me on some medication that just gave me headaches and made things worse….

Now after trying EVERYTHING (no lie) until my mother finally let me try out acuutane…I will admit, I was kind of scared when I first starting using it because of the side effects…but when she told me they were rare…I was pumped…I had to sign about 20 differet papers and pledge not to get a girl pregnant while on it…haha….

I’ve been using acuutane for about a month now and have washed my face twice a day everyday….it’s helping a lot! But still not fast enough for me…any tips that would help my face be pretty much cleared by summer?? I wrote this on April 18, 2009…
