Acne is easily fixed. Get yourself to a dermatologist and you’ll be clear in a couple weeks.

Accutane did nothing for me

Of course all the guys think it’s a super easy fix because they are oblivious to the impact hormones have on almost all facets of women’s lives and how messing with hormones can have lifelong repercussions like infertility and weight problems.

To fair, I am a woman and severe acne on a man is a turn off for me. It does go both ways.

@OP I’m 31 still fighting acne. I’ve literally done everything (a hundred dermatologists and all the prescriptions, proactive, perfect diet, gallon of water a day, birth control, etc). I found a great esthetician and a solid regimen which helps but the least bit of stress, non-salad diet, dessert, or PMS and I break out again.

It is what it is at this point. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I hope you find something that gives you confidence, because I definitely struggled with it. I think there are guys who will find you beautiful even with your acne. Good luck.

Don't get me wrong people on here are going to say it bothers them. If they can't get past that they are probably doing you a favor. While not always the case, I consider it shallow and wouldn't consider them having a worthwhile personality to be compatable with anyways. Remember that if it clears up.

Acne can mean that you may have an unbalanced diet. Consider eating extremely healthy - maybe cut out cheese - and see what happens.

Also, iron. Zinc and magnesium supplements help. Good luck

Nope. Not by itself anyways.

Diary plays a big role!! I had bad acne too, I have PCOS and I thought my face would just never clear up. Whenever it did, I’d get a pimple or two on my cheek which would take forever to go away. I stopped having diary, started drinking more water and made sure to scrub and apply a face mask once a week. I make sure to wash my face every night before I sleep and then apply a night cream(using Dead Sea minerals night cream right now) During the day I apply aloe Vera as my moisturizer for the day. I don’t apply makeup, so I guess that helps too. My scrub is just plain old brown sugar with water. I try not to use products with too much chemicals. Your face wash plays a role as well, I switched to an Indian face wash, Himalayas neem face wash. Neem is really good for fighting acne and it has turmeric in it! If your hair is oily or you don’t wash it on a regular basis, that too leads to pimples too if you have an oily face.

I actually have PCOS too! Did you completely give up dairy? Or just limit your intake?

I’ll be honest, it depends on how bad, but yes it can be a turn off. And is it all the time or happen during certain times? I had really bad acne when I was younger. I went to a dermatologist and got it straightened out, but I also changed my diet and started drinking a lot of water.

Cheese is so good 😅

I don’t even know how to respond to this post.

Lol In all seriousness though, I had bad acne until I cut out diary. I only break out now when I occasionally have dairy. I know you will get a lot of treatment options here from others, but I have seen multiple peoples acne disappear cutting diary out.

If you go on birth control it may help control the acne. When I went on it, it helped clear mine.

I used a monthly pill which is a generic version of loestrin. I think it’s one of the lowest dose out there since some of the other pills were too strong for me.

I’m a woman and recently have been struggling with acne first time in my life. Used to be confident with no make up now I’m totally losing faith in myself without makeup. Don’t really see a difference in guys’ attitude tho. I think it’s more of a self conscious thing.

If you are in Atlanta , I can recommend someone, expensive but amazing. I haven’t met anyone who hasn’t been satisfied. The Dr himself just retired but he trained his team. They make their own compounds. I have to look at his name.
