Have you had chin acne? What remedies did you use?

It won't go away.. while the areas from both sides of the nose look better, there are fewer blackheads but the chin acne is still there. It's been months. (I had my blood tested. No health issues)

I use spironolactone and it has been a game changer especially for hormonal acne that's on the chin. I also use Adapalene and cetaphil benzoyl peroxide cleanser for topical. It's been working for me but everyone's different.

2024 skin update.

It's crazy. I started this blog when I was 21. I'll be 30 this year. And it's been a hell of a ride. But I can confidently say, my skin is something I don't think about much anymore. I've gotten three CO2 laser treatments, micro needling, smooth glow laser treatments. Albeit expensive, but so worth it. But despite all the treatments my scars are still there and I'm still very acne prone. Having acne has been a blessing and curse. You have to learn to love yourself all over again and i was already dealing with low self esteem when I first got it. But over time I've learned to accept myself and reframed my thinking. I take good care of my skin and I guarantee I probably wouldn't have if I didn't go through this. Acne is normal and nothing to be ashamed of. For any of those who've been here from the beginning or stumbled upon this blog along the way, thank you for being here and I hope this blog helps anyone who's struggling with the same thing. You are so so beautiful and acne will never take away from your beauty. You will always be beautiful to me no matter.

Take care 🩵

My apologies in advance if I shouldn't have said this.

I find acne and acne scars beautiful on women.

🩵🩵🩵 we need more people like you in this world 🥹

We need more characters in media that have acne and aren't presented as weird or gross

I had to be taken off after two months bc of how severe the mental health side effects were.

⚠️MAJOR TW: suicide, depression, anxiety, panic attack. DO NOT READ IF THESE ARE POSSIBLE TRIGGERS TO YOU.⚠️

this last day was the worst.

i want to share with anyone reading this to NOT do accutane if you have struggled with depression or anxiety in the past.

please, for your own good DO NOT DO IT.

i don’t know who all will ever read this, and even if i don’t know you, i don’t want you to die.

as a person who has experienced depression and suicidal thoughts in the past, i am begging anyone not to do accutane. this was the worst the thoughts have been in my entire life.

it was so bad i considered suicide and had the worst panic attack in my entire 15 years of living, i saw my life flash before my eyes it was that bad of a panic attack.

unless bad skin is already making you want to kill yourself, do not do accutane. because although not everyone has the depression side effect, there is the possibility that you will, and as a person who has struggled with depression in the past, this is the most severe that it has ever been and it is NOT worth it. i repeat.

IT.

IS.

NOT.

WORTH.

IT.

thank God today was my last pill. only problem is, my mom knew i was struggling and she told me not to take it, but because of my paranoia and fear of my acne coming back and having to do this all again or have it all be for nothing, i took it.

and BOY was i wrong to do that.

if i had never taken it, i bet i would be starting feeling better by now. i wouldn’t have had a major panic attack that will haunt me for the rest of my life, along with the fact that i had such bad thoughts and sh’d in the last month.

IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

DO NOT TORTURE YOURSELF AND YOUR MENTAL HEALTH FOR “CLEAR SKIN.”

DO.

NOT.

DO.

IT.

Hello! This is just a reminder that every single time I see a picture of a person with acne or scarring or cold sores or rosacea or eczema or any other kind of skin issue I get a little jolt of serotonin. Thank you for making me feel less alone 💖💖💖

~ ✨🧚🏾‍♂️ Skin Positivity: 🧚🏾‍♀️✨~

As a person with acne, eczema, psoriasis, and thick calluses on my feet, and who is pretty much allergic to everything, excluding shea butter, cocoa butter, and only one brand of makeup, I would like to take the time to say that people with skin conditions are beautiful.

People do not have to have smooth, clear, “flawless” skin. I certainly don’t. And the older that I get, the more my eczema spreads, which will only stop once it’s all over my body. My skin is always very dry and very fragile even when I put on lotions and creams and whatnot.

And as for acne, I have that all over my upper body. My face, my head, my neck, my chest, my belly, my back, and my upper arms.

And no, I’m not ashamed of any of this, nor should I be made to feel that way. I am not this untouchable, disgusting thing that should be hidden from the world. I am a human being with my own life, and my own beauty, and I deserve to be respected and treated as such.

And NOT despite my skin conditions, but WITH them. Because people like me exist, and we deserve to be seen and represented.

The nature of one’s skin should not ever determine whether they are beautiful, or worthy of love and respect.

I already am. Because I exist.

My skin is beautiful in all of its little dry scales, flakes, bumps, calluses, acne, and dark spots. And I refuse to let some ignorant people tell me that I should feel ashamed of my own skin because it’s not like everyone else’s. This is MY skin, and I decide how I feel about it. And I love it. I refuse to let anyone make me feel bad for how I was born, and for how my skin turns out. I am not a mistake to be fixed. I am worthy, regardless of what anyone says.

I am beautiful. I am worthy of love and respect. I am.
