Thanks, i appreciate that. But after 2 years of sleeping on the floor I could probably use a whole new body lol
During my single years I spent 18 years sleeping on a pad on the floor. Now, I could easily have afforded a bed but since it was just me sleeping on it, why bother.
Yeah, I am 67 and certainly no stranger to aches, pains, and sore muscle joints. Not so much during those 18 years though.
Acne has many causes.
From your description it started as your face was healing from a serious burn, if I understand correctly. Then you mentioned spiritual attacks. That is stressful.
I'm not going to pretend to diagnose your condition. I don't cure treat or heal anything. Just keep reminding yourself that God is the great Physician and seek Him daily in prayer and the Bible for help. He may not heal you instantly as He sometimes does, but He has designed our bodies miraculously to heal when provided the proper materials and favorable conditions.
A couple things come to mind that I'll share.
Trauma:. This will take time to heal and the proper nutrition for tissue repair with minimal scaring. Make-up and any other chemicals may increase inflammation and clog pores. If I were you, I would eliminate any topical creams or make-up. The temptation is to cover up, but people don't pay us as much attention as we think.
I would allow the skin to breath and if it is dry, dab a bit of pure coconut oil on one spot of the face to see if there's a reaction or if you break out there. Discontinue is it does. If not, then that's all that's necessary for the dry areas. I'd do that daily IF needed. If you have oily skin, allow it to do it's job. It's easy to overdo the washing. Oils nurish skin, prevent infection and aid healing. Clogged pores can be opened with peppermint oil in the soap. I've found a good soap that doesn't have harsh chemicals. It's called "castle soap". I use Dr Bronners brand, but there's other good brands available. Dr. Bs Peppermint Oil soap is my favorite, but I'd go with the plain kind if you burned it recently as it might cause too much for extra sensitive skin.
Wash face every other day and the pillow case every week in a Non-scented soap. A clean bucket by hand takes a couple minutes to wash and rinse thoroughly. BioPac is a good brand. Free and Clear works too. Castle soap works but takes longer to rinse. Use warm water and rinse twice in fresh water.
Spiritual Attacks:
This causes stress which in turn increases cortisol levels. These are stress hormones that can cause undue inflammation. It can manifest in acne and rosacea (red areas that are persistent.)
I have a video that should help if you message me. As to stress, there's lots that one can do to decrease that. I have to get back to work now, but will check back tonight or tomorrow when I get a chance for part two.
I don't know if you do your own laundry, but if not I would start with the pillowcase and do the rest of the bedding in the washer while you're at it. The chemical scents, etc are breathed in all those hours sleeping and your liver must detoxify those. It also is the primary cause of chronic sinus issues.
There's lots that can be done to correct acne.
I don't know your age, so if you are under 18, I'd bring your parents in on the conversation. They can support your goals better that way.
Have a blessed weekend.
To your health and happiness!

Next time I should check the OPs post date. I just checked back and see that this is an old thread from 2017. This person must have gotten past their problem by now.Acne has many causes.

Me too. They sounded very much in despair. It sounds like a teenager going through tough times. By now they're probably twenty something. Plus the name ends in "tee", so it sounds like either a teenager or a golfer.
Lol
I never stop to check the dates on the posts lol, well if thats the xase then we will see him on the back 9 in Heaven lol
I've been there too... I have learned to Rejoice in them now.
I know this may sound strange, but the LORD has showed me that there is a greater purpose in it.
The enemy hates you with a cruel hatred if you have truly come into Christ and represent His Kingdom.
What the enemy hopes to do by attacking you to destroy you, GOD will turn to good by preparing you to be strong in the LORD and the Power of His Might!
We really are more than conquerors through Him! Our job is to Stay upon our GOD, seeking Him for Wisdom and Discernment through every attack.
I often compare it to playing a video game... The levels have to be beaten to prepare you for the next level until you finally overcome the wicked one completely at the end of the game. (things may be different now with video games, idk, that's how it was when i used to play 25 years ago. I hope you get the point.

Or talk to your doctor, it doesnt have to be a big deal.
I'm sorry to hear anyone is going through such a tough time. Stress can definitely take a toll on our skin, and it sounds like you're dealing with a lot. It's important to remember that your worth isn't defined by your skin or appearance.
In terms of skincare, have you considered seeing a dermatologist? They can provide personalized advice and treatments that may help with your acne and scarring. Recently I've tried Skin whitening laser recently to solve my problem. Also, taking care of your mental health is just as crucial. Prayer can be a source of comfort, but it's also beneficial to seek support from friends, family, or a mental health professional. You're not alone in this, and there are people who care about you and want to help.

uneasy, the guy that started this post started it in 2017, site says the last time he was seen was in 2018.
Maybe he's just been busy, or gave up social media. I'll try to keep him in my prayers, though its hard at times because so many people need prayers. I think most young teens-adults are suicidal/insecure at some point. I know I was, and all my friends were. We made it through.
Or maybe he got on a good acne regime and his skin cleared up and his confidence soared and now hes put in public evangelizing.
Or maybe marriage happened
So many things are possible, but still we should pray
maybe, but usually if someone intends to leave they at least give notice. True, hopefully he logs in and gives us an update.
I guess I can join your club, my first attempt was at 13 and somedays I still struggle with being depressed.
Thanks I appreciate that, I am glad your here too.Same here, life is tough! Im glad you're still here
I think if he logs in now, it would be because he still has the problem, and would have some really good advice to deal with it. Better late than never, eh?
