Before I start to tell you about the ongoing venture that my life has taken with acne I think it would be best if I introduced myself to you. My name is Michael; I am what I think you would consider your average teenager if such a thing is possible. A lot of people think of individuals with acne to be geeks, nerds, or those that tend to not be very social and of that is summarized in two words - an ‘artificial stereotype'. I have played soccer my whole life, been introduced to website and graphic design, and am a very outgoing person who occasionally goes to parties when I am not busy. Most importantly if I wrote an autobiography the first image that came to your mind would not be my face with acne, but I among many other average teens have had acne and I still do. I didn't write this to rant about my case of acne, but to inform you of what steps I have taken to reduce this disease.

When I first started showing signs of acne when I was a young teenager I was the least bit pleased because I was the one that always watched the TV shows and movies of the typical school nerd that has glasses and had a severe case of ...
... acne - I didn't want that to be me. Then, when taking showers I would rub the washcloth firmly against my head to try to get rid of the acne. The only thing that I succeeded at was to make my head red and sensitive from the friction. From that moment on I knew that I needed to seek out medical assistance, but I didn't want to because to me it is a cosmetic issue and I didn't think that is something guys should be doing.

We then started to order ClearPores Acne treatment products which showed progress at a very minimal. They had all of cleaners, treatments, moisturizers, etc. but after using ClearPores Acne treatment for several months it seemed as if acne would be a problem for me the rest of my life. I then went to a dermatologist of whom I am still seeing and have been for about two years now. I have been prescribed Cephalexin (a substitution for Keflex), BenzaClin, and Clindamycin (a substitution for Cleocin-T). The Cephalexin is a 500mg pill which I was first prescribed to take three times a day; now I am only taking one a day. I use Clindamycin in the mornings as a cleanser and BenzaClin before I go to bed as drying agent for any new pimples. My dermatologist wanted to slowly take me off of the pills so that I just didn't stop taking three pills a day as he predicted that if it removed the acne it would come recur.

There are various conditions that can affect the health of your skin, and you can't always just give up on a product if it isn't showing immediate progression. The weather plays a large part as in the summer the medications results improve; while in the winter your skin may get very dry and although you may not have a lot of acne activity your skin will become very irritated especially for guys when shaving (I advise using a shaving cream or gel that is for sensitive skin and moisturizes). I wish I had taken a picture of my face when I had a really bad case of acne to show you what it looks like now because I can't describe how much better my face looks as the memories of what it did look like were some that I was not proud of and I can't describe to you accurately the condition of my skin.

I learned how to cure my acne and many by reading ebooks such as , and
