Stress does nothing to my skin.

However, it does make me eat a lot more lollies and chocolate, which in turn leads to crap skin. :p

What does stress have to do with pimples :/

Either way, I've never had problems with pimples. I might just get one every now and then and it's never really in an obvious location. Lucky me eh? Especially considering all the fatty crap that i eat...

pimples are caused from an imbalance of hormones and such. but not everyone is effected, very random.

I got rid of my pimples when I was 15 by going to a dermatologist and demanding Roaccutane.

A 12 month course of Roaccutane (covered by the PBS) cures most acne :D

Oh and acne is caused by the sebaceous glands producing more sebum than is actually needed, and then mixing with dead skin cells and thus clogging the pores of the skin trapping bacteria and thus getting infected and producing puss.

It has nothing to do with what you eat, but perhaps stress does cause your body to produce more oil.

my usually clear skin has turned to shit and seeing as i have a tendency to do whatever i can to distract myself from studying, squeezing them has become a new hobby of mine (gross i know, very sorry, but its true) which has in turn made them worse.
While they may be producing a highly educated future generation, They're also making us fat, white and pimply... is it REALLY worth it? i think not.

The STOP THIS ACNE banner above the quick reply box is just gross. Funny it should come up when I'm viewing this thread.

People that go on Roaccutane shit me. For all the side effects it causes, what's the point? Ride the acne tide my friends....RIDE IT!

My neighbours' kids went on Roaccutane and turned into aggressive, depressed losers that moped around all day talking about cutting themselves and punching holes in walls, which was completely out of their character.

Roaccutane is the devil.

Yeah well side effects are different for different people.
IF you get too many side effects your on too high a dosage!
if your on it and you get a really bad constant headache drop back a level on tehdossage and consult your GP or Dermatologist though, it can increase intercranial pressure, allthough in my case, it was only an occcasional migrane.

But hey! it works and increases to confidence of some people...
And what makes you think the roaccutane did that to your neighbours? sure they werent just skitzs to start with?....and how old were they? sure they should've been on it in the first place?
