Unhappy Acne Ruins Everything!!!!!

I am so frustrated right now!!! I have had moderate acne since i was 14 and I am 26 now. I have tried various antibiotics which work temporarily and then stop... Also tried Spiro. Various topicals, Obagi, etc etc... I have been breaking out horribly for the last few months again. I dont get cysts but large red pimples with gigantic whiteheads, which leave dark spots after they are gone,a nd take ages to go away...My derm prescribed Bactrim to me last week. I started it and got sick. Cant take that. Have an appointment with him next week. I dont even know what to ask for. I am too scared of accutane. Acne has managed to ruin everything for me... I am an attorney, who hasnt had a job since I graduated...There is one guy who is a contact whom I have delayed meeting because of my acne... I had a huge zit on my nose at my last interview... A friend of mine wants to come down and hang out with me for the day, but I keep putting her off cause I dont wanna show my clear skinned friend my face in daylight... I went to visit my brother on the west coast last week and broke out SO bad, and was really uninterested in meeting his friends cause my face was so bad...He thought I was being cocky, cause I didnt want to meet his friends, when in reality I just felt bad about myself!!! I hate this!! Acne makes EVERYTHING seem worse!! ANd I have a veyr pretty face without acne!! I mean, I am not even interested in having sex with my husband cause I feel so gross! And when I complain about my acne , he is like everyone has it. Big deal, you have one or two zits. Stop acting like a teenager! He doesnt get it cause HE DOESNT HAVE ACNE!!!! Yeah, one or two or three every few days, which keep leaving more dark marks and keep taking away my confidence!!! What can I do???? I dont feel like leaving the house!!!!!

Re: Acne Ruins Everything!!!!!

have you tried different face makeups and face washes and mousturizers to determine that they are not the cause? also the laundry soap that you use?

Re: Acne Ruins Everything!!!!!

hey, i totally understand how you feel, I havent had it as long. But when i went to visit my boyfriend or w.e i felt just like hiding in my dorm room the entire time. I didnt want to meet his friends. I dont feel like going out, just hiding. It's completely degrading. But im going to try the chemical peels ((i dont have the cysts)) and the blue light ((the blue light is supposed to help with the red marks it makes them go away faster)) so anyway im going to try those. And maybe you should look into it. talk to your derm
