I like many adolescents suffer from acne. My case is worse than most however because I have a certain kind of acne called cystic acne. This kind of acne is more noticeable than mild acne and it leaves a lot of scarring. Also I am 24 years old and still being troubled by something I was told would be left behind with my teen years. Well, I recently came off of an acne treatment called Accutane. And it worked wonders while I was on this medicine. I did not have a single blemish. I am so thankful. I have been praying for healing and deliverance from this since I was 13 years old. I have been off of Accutane for almost a year now and starting in October or early November I started getting breakouts again. I am still praying fervently, but I fear I may have to go on another treatment of Accutane. If this next treatment doesn't work to stop the breakouts then I am out of options. Accutane, the only thing that has worked so far, only allows two treatments and in very rare cases a third. So if this next treatment doesn't work I don't know what I will do.
Please do not think this just a vanity thing. Those who do not struggle with severe acne have no idea the kind of physical and emotional toll it takes. I am speaking of severe acne. It is so bad I don't even want to leave my house. And I have been dealing with this for more than ten years. I just want it to be over.
I just want healing. I need a miracle in my skin. I don't want to feel ashamed or embarrassed by my skin anymore. I want my confidence back. I want to be able to look in the mirror and see me and not just my skin. I want to see myself the way God sees me. The way he intended me to look.
