Today, I finally saw a dermatologist due to my unusually severe acne. Now I know I actually have a rare disorder that makes me allergic to my own acne. FML

And then the stress of of your allergic reaction causes more acne. It's a cruel vicious cycle.

Unfortunately, acne isn't limited to teenagers. Lots of adult sufferers out there as well.

Maybe there's an oral prescription you can get that will help with the acne. If it's cystic acne, there are a ton of non-topical products you can use that won't irritate your skin and can help to slow or halt the pimples.

I have cystic acne and have reactions to most topical solutions. If you have advice, I'll try anything. The only thing my doctor recommends its dove soap.

The FML community will have to continue struggling without #9's highly valued input. This is a sad day.

You commented, meaning this is a paradox, and this thread doesn't actually exist

I like to pretend nobody here exists and is instead an AI test of thousands of personalities.

Stress isn't the only thing that causes acne.

Can't exactly just "lose the stress" if the stressor is something like school or work... Sure, you can work to cope with it, but there's only so much that can be immediately done...

A lot of the time I accidentally hit the wrong button on my phone and I can't change it. Maybe 750 people did the same lol
