I've never known anyone who has the same acne story as my bf and I...Both my boyfriend and I don't have any history of acne in our family and we have had PERFECT skin our whole lives up until right out of HS...neither of us smoke, I drink Occ., and we eat healthier than a lot of people I know...it's driving me insane because I want my old skin back...btw it is mild cystic acne for me ..that scars even when I don't pick (I'm very pale though)..and my boyfriend has more of a hormonal looking type of acne that goes away fairly quickly after he pops them... my point being...has any1 else had perfect skin up until recently at such an odd age!
I had ok skin throughout school, just the usual occasional teenage spots. My acne only really became a problem when I turned 22. I'm not sure if it was brought on by stress cos my parents split around that time, but since then it has been really quite severe, and ive jst started accutane which is finally clearing it up. mine is also cystic acne, the only thing that has cleared up my cysts has been accutane. it sucks i know, cos most people my age dont have this problem anymore and people often think im younger than i am.
