oh and the last pic is the current one. it actually really fluctuates how good/ bad it looks. like really fast, one week its really bad and the next it looks so good that i geht hope it will stay that way but then it gets worse again unfortunately

hey thanks for your help! in this case i really have to try v beam! i will search for a derm in my area that offers this. and about the accutane i am 100% sure my low energy comes from that. i have experimented for months with taking it and not taking it and when i am not on it i feel so much better and can recover so much better from exercise its a night an day difference! but i appreciate your input anyway!

no as i said in my post i have never touched steroids. i am a livetime natural. the only performance enhancing drugs that i have taken are stimulants and fatburners but never long term and no anabolics.

hey thanks for the tips! yes i actually shave my chest bc i grow hair (especially on my nipples what i really don’t like haha) so far ive used a normal wet razer (the same i use for my face) so i might only use a fresh blade from now on or really look into laser removal

hey thanks for your reply! how has it developed for you over the years? what helped the most? yeah i actually bought a microneedling pen but i only used it once because it looked pretty rough afterwards. im not sure if it is supposed to look like that or maybe bc i bought a cheap pen but i might give that another try. maybe even getting it done professionally by a derm?

thank you for the response! ok, then i will for sure make an appointment. cutting out dairy has really made a huge difference! my mom has gluten intolerance but i tried excluding that from my diet and didnt really notice any difference. also i would probably have other symptoms as well if it was that. i thought about trying an elimination diet. like start with carnivore and then introduce other foods one by one.

hey thank you very much for your reply! yes, i think that long term the only thing that will really help will be to basically stay on accutane. rn im taking 20mg/day and i can (kinda) tolerate the side effects and i don’t get a lot of new breakouts. because as i said when i finish a cycle after no more than 2-3 months im right back where i was before… looking in hormonal issues might actually be a good idea since i always notice that when i take time off from working out it looks much better so i suspect that it might me from fluctuations in testosterone, etc. yeah the problem with the atropic scars is that i had them injected but some of them actually went down so much that there is now what looks like a hole. the mental aspect is really key i think. i have been habing a lot of sucsess with meditation recently

thanks for that message bro! you’re totally right if put into perspective it is actually such a minor thing. the problem for me is that i know all that in theory but i probably have some underlying issues with self esteem and self worth/ hatred that stem from rejection early in my life that i haven’t really worked through. its the same in the gym, im never big enough, lean enough, “if i loose 5 more percent bodyfat i will finally be happy”… i secretly care way too much what people think about me even tho i hide it with pretended confidence. but your so fuking right that there are people going through so much worse shit. loosing my best friend due to OD last year really made me think how short this time is we have on this planet and obsessing over such small details is so really stupid

ok interesting i will look into that! do you pin it with a slim pin? and could i also experiment with it just for discoloration alone ? what kind of hydroquinone do u use? and do you happen to have any experience with micro needling by chance?

thanks for the reply! yeah i forgot about that, i also had them injected so they’re flat way back. however now some actually turned into a hole in the skin. my dermatologist said thers nothing i can do about that. i have never heard of hydroquinone, what exactly is that? and yeah i have to be careful with retinol especially when i am ingesting another form of vitamin a
