Seeking Effective Long-Term Acne Treatments: A 6-Year Struggle

I'm seeking expert advice, or just advice from people who have dealt with acne. It started in Year 8, pus-filled spots began to appear, I smeared all sorts of creams, masks and so on, it didn't help. Then I started taking Bifidobacterium (don't know if that's correct), they seemed to start going away, but when I finished a month's course they started appearing again. I don't eat sweets, salty or spicy foods. I watch my diet, but spots still appear, please help, I'm desperate! I've been treating them for 6 years.

Considering Changing Doctors after Year on Spironolactone

Hello. Apologies for what may be a silly question, but I still want to know the answer. I've long been suffering from a multitude of problems: acne, oily skin, hair that gets dirty quickly, increased hairiness (not critical of course, but objectively more hair than my female friends), irregular periods (they can skip for three months, it happened). Naturally, I went to the gynaecologist. She directed me to have hormone tests. In the end, everything is normal, except for cortisol. I read up, and it seems cortisol isn't related to the problems I have. As a result, the doctor prescribed Spironolactone to be taken according to a specific regimen (start on the fifth day of menstruation and take for 20 days). The effect of the medicine is such: my periods now come twice a month (the doctor responded to this by saying it's better they come more often than not at all), my hair has become slightly less greasy. That's it. The acne, the hair remains. I've been taking Spironolactone for a year now. Now I'm thinking, maybe I need to change doctors? I read that girls take the contraceptive pill, it helps them, maybe I should too? Anyone who knows a bit about this topic, please answer.

Seeking Advice for Treating Nose Scars from Spots

I don't know how it happened, honestly, I don't even remember what spots were there, but after them, two chipped scars remained on the wing of my nose. It looks like a hole after a piercing roughly, only, naturally not all the way through. It looks awful, foundation only emphasises these pits😟. The only option with cosmetologists is grinding. Moreover, I think they know perfectly well that such scars are not treated with grinds(well or it will take about 10 years for this). Because grinding such a millimetre of skin is impossible. Has anyone had something similar, what helped?

21-year-old Shares Stress-Triggered Acne Experience and Recovery

Good day to all! I decided to create a topic that has been discussed on this site more than once, but I hope that my experience will be somewhat useful to someone, or perhaps someone will recognise themselves in it. So, I am 21 years old. I had teenage acne at school, but it quickly disappeared, leaving no scars or spots on my face. I think that many teenagers at school had facial inflammations, and it didn't bother me much, because mostly my skin was clear. Then I went to university, and in the first year there was some important first exam and sitting in the lecture hall on the day of the exam, I felt pimples appearing on my face at that moment. When I got home, my mum was horrified by the state of my face, because my once perfect white skin was suddenly covered in pimples! Moreover, they were not only all over my face, but also on my back, arms and other parts of the body. I looked as if I had chickenpox, although I had had it before. The next day we rushed to the dermatologist at the clinic. She said that it was most likely a reaction of the body to stress, caused by worries about studies. She prescribed me calming tablets, ointments and Zineryt. After a few days of using these medicines, my face began to return to normal. Soon, the skin became perfect again, but I continued to use Zineryt for prevention. Then I abandoned it, I could occasionally have a few inflammations on my face, but it was not scary. I never had any scars or spots from pimples. And now, the most important part of my story begins. I want to describe to you in detail the history of my disease, friends, in case any of you have encountered the same problem. The following year, I broke up with my first boyfriend. I was very stressed at that time.

Teenager Seeks Advice on Plasma Lifting for Severe Acne

I'm 16 years old, have had teenage acne and pimples since I was 12. On my face, shoulders and back. Recently, they've appeared on my ears and neck, following an unsuccessful mechanical cleansing. I've seen many doctors, tried many things, including retinoids. Recently, I visited a gynaecologist and she prescribed birth control pills for 6 months, starting in March (from the 1st day of the cycle). I read on the internet about plasma lifting, that it also helps, etc., so I decided that I would additionally go for plasma lifting, I booked for the end of March. But lately, I've had doubts, what if it doesn't help? After all, it's painful, time-consuming and costly. I'm just at the end of my tether and want to help my body to get rid of painful, large acne. Maybe it's because of this that we agree to such procedures, out of desperation. I've already had many sad experiences. I decided to listen to opinions about plasma lifting. Please share your experiences. Thanks to everyone!

Seeking Advice on Plasma Lifting for Persistent Acne

For several years now, my teenage acne, spots, haven't cleared up. They leave behind post-acne, scars. It's very unpleasant, painful. I've seen many cosmetologists, dermatologists and have tried just about everything over the years, from ordinary ointments to retinoids, completed a course of antibiotics and isotretinoin (under the prescription and supervision of a dermatologist), there was improvement during the medication, but then it all started again. I took isotretinoin with a cumulative dose. I have skincare products, I used to use decorative cosmetics, now I haven't used it for at least half a year. I follow a diet. I've checked my organs, done a lot of tests, even testosterone, everything is fine. I understand that this will pass with time, but it's very hard to endure all this and they leave scars. I was advised to do plasma lifting, at least twice. They said it suits those who have been treated for a long time and without success. I would like to hear reviews, maybe someone has gone through plasma lifting, how was the result for you? Did it help? Did the acne return after it? I hope for understanding and adequate answers.
