Chinese doctors doesn't work for me at all.... it made my situation worst...
I mean for me, even if I get relive from my face, I get break outs all over my body.... but I gave up seeing doctors since I party lots and I have various different problems physically and emotionally. It comes and goes especially before and after my period.... So I just make sure I wash my face again after i removed my make up, avoid stress, and power sleep as much as possible.

I still think western medicine is the best. In HK there is a doctor called Wong Kwok On... I don't trust him but he is famous and quite a few of my friends said that he works. I mean their skin is not flawless but at least they get less break outs. There must be doctors that works in vancouver too, you just need your family doctor's referral.

We won't be off the hook until like we are in old age... acne problems only get worst as we age... so yea we can only pray that it stops.

I took different western medication for my acnes (prescribed by doc), went to Dr. P.W and the cream and antibiotics were efficient and clear out my acnes 90%+, but I can tell you, those are all fake hopes lor. Once i stopped the application, I break out even worse than ever and my skin got extremely sensitive. And not to mention there were so many side effect from taking western medicine, i got depression and weight gain from birth control pills, I got super sensitive skin from those cream and pregnancy is prohibited during the application and for a while. So I realized that I cannot rely on western medicine as it is only a "temporary fix", not the "cure".

if you are so desperate, i really suggest you to try going back to hk for just 6 months. So far from what my frds have experienced is that yes, every doctor gives out that medicine, but then his moisturizer is the only thing that is strong enough to stop skin irritations. even though i don't trust him, i do use his moisturizer some times since i get break outs from all of the other skin care brands. and you DO have to finish the program... coz many ppl stops the program before it's completed since their skin looked fine, and their problems comes back since they are not fully treated.

Chine medicine doesn't work period. For me anyways... anything that remotely helped me was coming back to vancouver for a month... and what it did was just transferring my breakouts to my body...   I think it is a good thing and you should see a chinese doctor for general purpose, but i just don't want to get your hopes up since i was disappointed time after time...

just chill, then the problem will ease...

I hope so la! It is haunting me for so long it makes me want to cry! People who don't have adult acnes don't understand the pain ....

I hope you will get better soon too!

um..maybe after you give birth, the acnes will go away,
I heard that giving birth can clear oout all the dirt inside your body

Yaa i hope having a baby will have a positive impact la! but the thing i heard is that alot of pregnant women actually get crazy breakouts during pregnancy.   Hope that doesn't happen to me la...

Wait but before that I need to cut my BC pill wor....
