I didn't have this much acne in the 7th grade

I look like a middle schooler.  When will this go away?

  • I've been using OTC acne treatments, and I still wake up with a new one everyday.  Hoping it goes away soooon.

  • I'm totally going to jinx it by saying this, and maybe I'm just having a good week, but mine is just starting to clear up.  I was getting these epic pimples on my chin and cheeks and they'd come in twos or threes.  It was so annoying and gross.  Lately it's been a lot better, but I've also changed up my skin care routine.  I used to wash/exfoliate once a day, and then did just a quick rinse in the mornings.  Now I do that twice a day and it has seemed to help.  But who knows it could just be the hormones finally balancing out.

  • At this point I wish it was only on my face, at least it's easier to deal with it there.  My back looks horrible.  I'm totally paranoid that there'll be scars from this much acne and I'll never wear anything with an open back again.
  • My skin went completely nuts as well.  The only thing that has helped for me are the tea tree oil products at The Body Shop.
  • I hear you! Mine broke out at 11 weeks and has not gone away at all! Now i am not only getting face acne but chest and back acne!! Its so gross!
  • My face has been fine, but the body acne (gross) is killing me. It comes and goes though, doesn't seem to matter how much I wash or what I wash with.

  • Mine still hasn't gone away though the severity has lessened a bit.  No matter what I use - sensitive skin cleanser, lye soap, Clinique mask - nothing helps!  Pesky hormones...
