It sounds like you're doing everything right health-wise, so from the sounds of it your acne is probably completely hormonal, and will likely get better as you get older. But I know that doesn't help you now.

Like other people have suggested, I would highly recommend looking into Accutane, or if you don't want to deal with the side effects (which can be pretty serious).. Proactiv is a VERY effective treatment regimen.

Although you didn't mention what you wash your face with or wherever you are getting acne. The products you use could also play a role.. might want to look at that as well. benzoyl peroxide wasn't ever really that effective for me back when I had acne problems, and I felt that made it worse sometimes. Also soaps or things that dry out your skin could make it worse. Those are things a dermatologist would help you figure out, everyone has slightly different body chemistry and skin.

Dude! I always had the worst acne, just like you pimples everywhere and cists and shit. I took Accutane which worked for a year and then it all came back. Literally nothing worked except.

Changing my diet! I'm telling you man, no processed foods, no DAIRY especially, no SUGAR, get good sleep, and try not to stress to much about things. Start reading labels on foods, you want the shortest list possible with things that you know what they are. Its all about diet man I promise you.

He said he's vegan and doesn't consume any meat or animal products. I would assume that means he eats a HEALTHY, diverse vegan diet, but that's not always the case.
Maybe he should eat a little meat/fish. It's hard to be a completely healthy vegan.. very hard to get absolutely everything you need unless you a quite smart about it (and rich).
But it sounds like it's probably completely hormonal.

Mine was terrible until 17 or so. It literally went away in a few days and never came back.

I do genetically have larger pores and thinner hair than others (used to get pimples on my head from ingrown hairs bc it's so fine).

See a dermatologist,  find root cause,  ????,  get pussy.


You're not alone bro. If it's hormonal (*after you see a professional*) it might just damn well go away one day.

Don't let superficiality get in the way of your dreams. Fuck what other people think. This is making you stronger whether you see it now or not. Pain breeds strength.

Just because you're vegan doesn't mean you're healthy. I was an unhealthy vegan for a long time. Potato chips are vegan so are oreo's, some candy, soda. Going vegan is what made me really in tune with what was giving me acne, but I wouldn't consider myself vegan or any of that anymore I eat fish and meat very rarely. Drink only water if you don't already. Try an all organic raw food diet for a little bit or a juice cleanse if that doesn't work than its not your diet that's effecting your skin.

If you are a vegan and having acne, you should try eating a more balanced diet. You should switch things up and see what works.

Yeah I know.. I definitely said that. In fact most vegans I have ever met were not healthy. I just said that in response to you telling him to not drink dairy..

Like I said, it's hard to be a healthy vegan. You have to have a good knowledge of nutrition, and be relatively rich to boot, in order to do it right.
A diet without any meat or fish leads to deficiencies if you don't know exactly what you are doing.

As for no dairy... I wouldn't agree with that unless you are lactose introlerant.
No pasteurized milk from non-grass fed cows, sure. But yogurt and kefir and cottage cheese from grass-fed non-RBGH cows? Fuck yes.

My sister struggled with severe acne her whole middle and high school life. She got tormented over it, and would cry every morning and fake sick to not have to go, so I have a soft spot for your issue. She did everything and saw every doctor she could. Eventually her skin cleared up. She was even on Accutane, but that stuff can be dangerous.

You'll be fine OP. :hug:



Looking at oneself in the mirror while tripping can be pretty traumatic, too.



QFT. A few times during intense trips, I've looked in the mirror and would go into crazy thought loops about how I don't know this person, and how unhappy I am with the reflection, then I'd start thinking about all my mistakes and people and things I've wronged. It doesn't always happen, but it has several times, and the feeling of complete disconnection from ones own self, in a negative way can be brutal. I've experienced such intense shame in my appearance under this circumstance, I've even spent entire trips reflecting on my childhood and how innocent I was at one time, and trying to find where and when in my life I went wrong, while having no clue as to what is even wrong in the first place, but knowing something is, and that is fucking tough.


Moral of the story, Mushrooms can help in certain situations, but can also be detrimental to your confidence if you are in a bad place, don't resort to tripping to fix anything.

a little, regardless they're all expensive as fuck.

when I was about 14 I got a few pimple, my mom started buying all the acne

That's pretty much how I was too. All that benzoyl peroxide shit just made it worse.
The only thing I did try that actually worked, was Proactiv. But that shit is uber expensive.
It all went away after I hit about 20-21 or so. I had it since I was like 15 but it got real bad around 17-18.
My biggest problem was bacne.. god I hated that shit. But exfoliating/scrubbing the back helped a lot.

well there's your problem, you arent breaking out in acne, you have a bad case of vaginitis



http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/Vaginitis



okay jokes aside, i had terribly horrible acne that covered my back and chest from the time i was like 12 on...but from popping too many pimples prematurely and scratching at others i now have scars in addition to the random breakouts that cover my back. it sucks, i avoided taking off my shirt as much as i could through high school and even up until recently, i would avoid pool parties for fear of taking off my shirt, it sucked....looking back on it tho, i wish i wouldve not cared as much...a LOT of people get acne, shit like everyone has had a pimple at some point, everyone knows its a natural thing...you may be able to clear it up slightly or possibly control it with medicine but if someone is judging you on your acne, they got wayyyy bigger issues with themselves

im now 23 and my back and chest are finally chilling out a little bit, but i still get break outs, it sucks but ive realized fuck it, if my scars/acne are the deciding factor on whether or not im your friend, you arent worthy of being considered my friend so :flipthebird:




also get more sun, like get tanned/burnt. and my doc told me pools/hot tubs help becuase the highly chlorinated water dries out your skin or something? idk i dont remember the exact reason but i remember him telling me pools/hot tubs would help

I remember when I ate some acid last winter I was at home with a group of 8 or so friends all tripping, I was wearing all this make up, like cat eyes and crazy colored eyeliner and just fun costumey stuff like a headdress and shit, I went up to my room alone for a second and looked at my face in the mirror and suddenly felt compelled to wipe all my makeup off. So I did, and as I wiped it off I also smudged off my eyes and nose and all the features of my face so I was looking at one giant featureless face, kind of like this.




It was a really familiar nice setting so I thought it was incredibly cool and awesome at the time, but I could see how that would freak someone out.

Haha that's crazy. I've never freaked out on a trip, but I'll go into dark and introspective thought loops and over analyze everything about myself, it can get crazy.

I would get these kind of conspiratorial delusions, like thinking I knew what people I know really think about me and shit like that. Pretty loopy crap.

That's exactly what it is, and I'd be convinced during these trips that it was all true. That's what was scary, it's one thing to dislike yourself, but I'd feel like the trip is causing me to see myself as the world around me does, and the feels were so terrible, I don't know how to describe it other than like, soul rape honestly. I'd start worrying that this is my image to other people, and it felt worse than my own personal insecurity would.

Once this happened to me the first time, every trip since has been a complete roll of the dice, some trips are extreme joy and some are hellish misery, is what it is. And to think a few years ago I thought bad/negative trips couldn't happen to me. :loldongs:

Wouldn't wish those feels on my worst enemy.
