Acne Problem
So, since I'm bored and don't feel like doing homework or anything else particularly productive, I'mma go ahead and talk to you about my acne and see if anyone has any other solutions or maybe just reasons as to why it's there.
So, it probably started around 13...maybe 12 or even 14...I honestly can't remember, but around the time adolescent boys get acne...well, those of us who get acne in the first place.
It has lessened 7-5 years later but is still a prominent part of my facial features. I've grown to accept it is as something I can fix easily and I'm not going to go out of my way and pay 100 dollars for a prescription "cure." It's worse on my forehead but basically everywhere. It's not terrible, but it's there. I can put up pictures but...eh I mean, you can try to see it on Facebook but it's not that noticeable in pictures as much as real life.
Anyway, so I have a tendency to pop the really bad ones and have gotten used to the pain and come to enjoy it some of the time, unless they're particularly painful. I tend to wash my face (now) once a day and that seems to work better than everything else I've tried in the past years of dealing with it. These treatments being: Clearasil, Acne Free, Proactiv, Oxy, SeaBreeze, Differin, and an over-the-counter pill that made me hungry. I've used all these "solutions" for reasonable amounts of time (at least a few months) with little success. "Success" meaning that the acne would get worse after a few weeks and then get better, sometimes a little better than it was before the treatment, but usually not much clarity.
I have "Backne" and some chest pimples though those have lessened as well. I used to wash my face at least twice a day when someone at my work mentioned that "my face might be too clean" which made sense. So I only wash my face when I take a shower instead of at night also (I take morning showers). My parents tend to get pimples as well (they are reaching 50) and sometimes it can get bad for them too. (Genetics?)
Another thing, my face is oily, not dry. And when I used most of the medicines listed above, my face would become uncomfortably dry and sometimes chafe. I think my skin is sensitive. (When I was in the plays at school and they caked that stage make-up on, the tape that would hold the mic to my face tore off some skin when I took it off after the...2nd?...show).
I may have more, but that's it for now
Any general knowledge or suggestions that my help me understand my b!tch of a face?
