Hello everyone, this in my first blog and I want to dedicate it to
something that has been a major factor in my life: Acne. I've struggled with
acne for almost 5 years now, currently I'm 19 (male). My acne has gone from
very mild, to severe. I currently suffer from the whole shabang, ask me about
any type of acne and I will have or had it. Currently,
I'm mainly suffering from cystic, noduler, scarring, black head, and white
head acne.
I am not a party person (I hardly drink any alcohol, ie: 2 beers a month), and I treat junk food as if it were the plague.
I plan to use this
blog as a way of offering support to those who have acne, and trust me, if you
think you have bad acne, your condition is nowhere as bad as mine. If I can
pull through it, then you can to.
This blog will
track the medications I use and the
surgical procedures that I may or may not undergo.
