Thanks, I'm only 17, which I assume is a bit young for this forum.
I'm half Japanese half Irish. The acne thing... I've tried everything I could, even antibiotics, doesn't do much. I'm lost as for what to do next. It was a lot worse the past few weeks.

As for the acne, you should see a doctor, it may sound silly but I had significant acne on my forehead when I was a bit younger than you. They'll try a range of different things and one of them will usually work. It'll pass as well as your hormone levels regulate.. I sound like an old man..

I think diet/lack of washing can make acne WORSE, but not always better if you are genetically predisposed. As in, you can't entirely rid yourself of it just by washing/eating healthy, but if you eat badly and don't wash your breakouts might be even more severe. In my case I had acne up until I was 18; it was worst when I was 12-14 (disgusting painful whiteheads every morning) then slowly disappeared over time. I still get the occasional zit, but I think that's inevitable with oily skin. Anyways I've never understood the obsession with eradicating it. While it's uncomfortable, for most people it's just a byproduct of the teenage years and will subside over time with patience. I'm especially weary of using prescription medication to fight it. |

^ Speaks truth. I should see if I can find a picture of my 14-15 year old self..
Even now I got the occasional zit or two, but they're few and far between. I remember when I was super young I had a "bowl" haircut.. And my bangs would fall in front of my forehead which just made my acne worse .. which made me want to cover my forehead .. which made my acne worse.. You'll get over it. Man, it's been over 10 years since I've been in highschool .. feels so surreal.

Yeah it's just another phase in life, I'm not terribly worried about it. I'd just gotten a haircut a week before so it's shorter now but it gets pretty long and that's a big part of it. Ah well.
@willx I'd like to see a young ver. picture of you, it'd be neat!
