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.
