I had ok skin throughout school, just the usual occasional teenage spots. My acne only really became a problem when I turned 22. I'm not sure if it was brought on by stress cos my parents split around that time, but since then it has been really quite severe, and ive jst started accutane which is finally clearing it up. mine is also cystic acne, the only thing that has cleared up my cysts has been accutane. it sucks i know, cos most people my age dont have this problem anymore and people often think im younger than i am. :mad:
