I am having a HARD time

just be storong!!!! put honey on it!!! or go to the washroom without looking in the mirror and wash ur face ...its helps me stop when my face is wet....also think abt the stress after ruining the skin....plz do not do it...its hard but plz dont do it...for all our sake....help us be strong as well...give us hope...

The thing with cystic acne- they get smaller and generally go pretty quick if left. They downsize and downsize-then they go. Rub a little bit of garlic clove- (little bit-can be harsh) over area 2 times a day. Great remedy. Use some other simple natural remedies to keep face clean and to reduce infammation. Cucumber Juice, banana skin, egg white etc. Wash off after use. Drink plenty a day (not tooo much lol), cut down dairy and wheat. Make sure you are eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and day. Say to yourself- that from today you are going to avoid all mirrors. Then in 2 weeks-give us a post on what the results are (you will see a great difference). Plus you will feel good in that 2 weeks- knowing that you've left it and because you havent touched it-its going to look much better than if you thought about it a lot and you kept trying to squeeze them. Look forward to the results-let it motivate you. If you need to go to mirror to apply stuff.. stand back from mirror. x

Okay, so I popped few whiteheads & picked at a zit by my hairline today while stressed at work. I have managed to leave the 3 of the 4 cystic acne spots I have alone. I tried to pop one this morning with no results so I said LEAVE IT! and walked away from the mirror instead of picking it worse. I vow to YOU GUYS for the rest of the day to keep my hands off my body. It's going to be hard.......work stress is a challenge. I am promising to keep away from all mirrors for the rest of the day. I think I'm going to start leaving my compact at home. It's right in my purse next to me & I have noticed when I start to feel stress I go for it & start examining my face. I am stopping now. Right now. This second........ J

not a successful day at no picking but there is always tomorrow & now! I have bacitracin on the areas I have picked & I think the ice cube thing might be a good tool for me that I will try if I feel like picking again tonight. My goal is to take it hour by hour.........just make it to midnight. I will be asleep by then & will give my poor skin a chance to heal. My dermatologist said my scarring is not permanent & will fade. If only I would give myself a chance I really could have beatiful skin!

apparently Boots scar care serum makes cystic acne disappear and its only £6.49 in the UK

Be strong, I literally taped black rubbish bags over all mirrors to avoid temptation. 2 days without picking now... A personal best. Good luck

When i break out and have the urge to pick i decide to do an experience. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I DIDN"T PICK AT THIS BLEMISH? The pimple may be more visible at first, but after a couple days it goes away WITHOUT SCARRING! this has motivated me a lot.. try it! its hard but it couldn't hurt!
