Re: Photo Log on the Sample Diet

What part of the skin is it a picture of? It's a picture of my left cheek. Maybe someone could edit that into the OP, to not cause any confusion.

Re: WORKING medicinal acne treatment, with side effects

Tretinoin creme ... To my understanding it works as a 'skin cell destroyer' Not just that. As you know, Accutane diminishes the production of sebum, and though scientists still dont fully understand all the exact effects of (iso)tretinoin, we may assume that effects of topical tretinoin is somewhat...

Re: WORKING medicinal acne treatment, with side effects

On isoretinoin pills I recall having almost no sebum production at all. Or none at all.. more or less.. I guess the true skin is the pinkish layer just above the glands?

There is almost no room to be pinched off by the dermis! See picture(s) below: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/image...

Tretinoin - "water pressure pinching off..."

I am absolutely NOT going to praise traditional acne medication, but what I've always found was, that a few medications actually WORKED to lessen/eliminate my acne, but using them was not sustainable in the long run because of the frightening, unnatural side-effects. BUT, then I thought to myself; t...

Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane

Hello everyone, I've been suffering from acne since the very age of 13. A really cliche age to start developing this skin disorder, I sure realize, and the standard age for the start of puberty and raging hormones. Now, I'm 19 years (I'm a male btw) and am still fighting. Still fighting. If I'd know...
