I kind of know the struggle. Throughout high school, I would only get a pimple or two. Two months after I turned twenty, I started suffering from cystic acne. I was so upset. I had just gotten engaged. I never dreamed that I would be an adult that suffered with acne. I was put on Accutane. I was one of the rare cases that got worse before I got better. I spent $200 just on makeup for my wedding, and I walked down the aisle with huge lumps covered in fondation. I ended up having the highest dosage possible on Accutane. I suffered from depression and a huge list of physical side effects. My acne was pretty much cured, but I have red scarring a year later.

I know how hard it can be to deal with, but acne doesn't make anyone less beautiful.
