Default Re: skincare

Used to have pretty bad acne on my upper back, chest and shoulders. Saw a dermatologist and they prescribed something called tretinoin cream along with some pills called monocyclin or something like that. The couple weeks of treatment is brutal since you will itch to the extent of wanting to scrape the entire epidermis off, but it works like an absolute charm.

I've also seen some pretty good results from spending time in the sun. Seems to kind of "bake" the acne off. It's my understanding though that this is more harmful than beneficial and will actually hurt you in the long run.
