I can certainly sympathize with both of your situations. I had beautiful skin until I hit puberty and then it was I got acne. At 26, I still do and it is extemely frustrating. People look at me like I am 15 because of it and it drives me crazy. It is also very hard on your self esteem as when you look in the mirror, it seems that it is all you see. For me it became worse when I was on birth control because it all cleared up (as well as my severe mood swings lol) but then I got a blood clot and can no longer be on the pill. Seeing pictures of my skin beautiful and then with acne can be very difficult for me. I always ask relatives, WHY? do you have that picture up there for everyone to see? I hate pictures of myself lol. No topical treatements have ever worked for me, but I still have hope.
