Acne Conglobata is a very rare, but most severe type of acne. People are rarely affected by this type of acne but the ones who are, have a hard hard time.
I started to get acne around 7th grade, only mild pimples. I wouldn't worry about it and use OTC products that worked well. Then around beginning of my 9th grade i started to break out pretty bad so i got Proactiv Solutions that worked really good. I went few months without acne then I started to break out again. I used Proactiv again and it worked a little bit but i think i over used it to make my skin super sensitive. So I went and used other OTC products, changing products here and there (i think made my skin go crazy) then i just kind of quit. im coming to a end in my 3rd quarter of my 10th grade and I've been getting acne conglobata / severe cystic acne on my forehead and sideburn area. It was gettting HUGE and i've never seen something so gross in movies. Its been well over a month since i've had it and i've been to the doctors. They know its bad but they only give me anti-biotics called CEPHALEXIN thats not REALLY concintrated on acne but bacteria. Other people have gotten Accutane for milder acne then mine but i dont know why they dont give me it. Im sure my acne is by far one of the worsts around. But i've gotten use to the look cuz i see it everyday, its the PAIN the i hate. I can't sleep at night, in the morning it burns like no other. What it feels like is.....ONE HUGE bruise on your forehead/temple area that aches and throbs every other second of the day + a concintrated sting/cut like feeling in random areas of the affected area every other second as well. im on a STRONG dose of PAIN KILLERS that helps but it still kills. I havent been to school in...over a month and im sure im going to FAIL all my classes and probally will have to re-due them next year..unless the school gives me some kind of acception because of this situation. Before this semester, I'm a A student and do well. So maybe they will let me slide..but im not worried about that right now lol. I can deal with school later..this just..man..iuno...ima go see a DERM in about 2 weeks. I had to get a referral from my doctor because my insurance isnt super. i hope when i see the derm, he gives me accutane or tells me to go get a surgury lol...this is serious stuff..if u want to know how bad it looks, go to g o o g l e and type "acne conglobata" and click IMAGES. look for a pretty bad picture of this acne and imagine it on my forehead/temple. yea..thats how bad.
TELL ME IF U SUFFER WITH SEVERE CYSTIC ACNE OR CONGLOBATA, or if u USE TO SUFFERE FROM IT! AND WHAT U DID!
