Did you ever get bad acne when you were young? I didn't get it very bad. But, weird thing--WHen I was in my early thirties I got this horrible black head on my chin. It was huge and wouldn't go away. I would make sure my face was clean, put medication on the black head and put a band aide on my face. I went this way for several weeks. I worked for the telephone company then and it was so embarrassing to have this band aide on my chin.

I have acne from my high school and still facing it. Not just on my face but also on most of my body parts. Because of it I don't like to wear certain dresses and cover up the areas of acne(back bone, chest, on shoulders and hands). I am sick of it and trying harder to get rid of it

That's so sad. I'm sorry to hear this. My ex had it really bad and all over too. He went to a specialist and they did a skin acid wash and that helped.

@celticeagle I am trying home remedies and they are actually working. If not then I should have to go to the doctors again.

Sorry you got that Celt.
Glad it went away. I guess that was very embarrassing for you for sure.
I never had acne.
I was fortunate like that.
But once I got a concussion so bad that it made half my face turn black from the bruising and I was working then and it hurt when my co workers laughed at me.
On top of that I had to work in front of a mirror all day long with clients.
Not a happy memory for me that one.

It was a horrible experience. It was bad when I was trying to be appealing. Very embarrassing. You were fortunate. I didn't have much of a problem with it in school. This was after. Your co-workers laughed at you? How awful! I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

Do you still have it? There is a mask you can make with powdered charcoal and elmers glue that you put on three area ang pull it off from the bottom up. I've seen it work a lot online.. you can also buy pore strips.

Adult acne is a pain. I still have issues now and then, and have found that the only stuff that helps, most of the time, is Proactive

That's fortunate. Odd that you have acne when the weather changes.

I started to get acne ever since middle school. It used to be really bad but thankfully now it's not as much. I do still get acne here and there but nothing really significant. The bad thing now is my acne that I had left marks on my face that isn't really pleasant to look at.

I get little blackheads around my nose but that is all. Maybe you should try the recipe above.
