    Hello there! This is my first post, I just want to start telling you that English isn't my first language so please excuse me if I can't make myself understood... anyway the main reason that I joined the NoFap community is because I have suffered from cyst acne since I was 15, I'm 21 right now and I haven't found a solution yet, I have tried abstaining from fapping for 2 or 3 days but I got disappointed because I didn't see change on my skin, I just became vegan 10 days ago to see if that was the cause of it, I see some kind of improvement but I feel that is not the whole solution, now I'm going to try to stop fapping for more than a week and see if my cysts and acne start to diminish, I hope so, wish me luck! Also I'm going to try to update this thread every week to share my experience with my decision. See you and stay positive friends!

    Bro the only thing that got rid of stubborn acne for me is vitamin. A... high dose prescribed as roaccutane. In my country a skin specialist had to prescribe it for me.

    By all means stop fapping too!

    Hello my friend, I totally understand you, I had acne from 14 to 27(cyst acne the last years) and it totally marked my life, but because of how I shutted down any relationship with the world to avoid harm. Because of that I missed so much things and I got addicted to PMO to escape reality. Now, to get rid of the acné, same as Salada suggested, the only way for me was with (isotretinoin) for a year, mixed with reducing suggar and dairie products.
    The fap part of your situation won't affect the acne, but your whole life, it is harder to abstain from it because you feel that it is the only way to connect with women, but you're actually not connecting but staring at pixels on a screen.
    The best thing I can say to you is go to a skin specialist, follow the treatment, get a part time job if you need to because it's not cheap(but totally worth it), and at the same time stop PMO for good, it is the best thing you can do for yourself.
    Also PM me if you have any doubts or if you want to share anything on this
    Never give up!!![​IMG]

    I've read about roaccutane, tbh it's my last resort due to all the risk involved, if I fail with diet and NoFap I will try it.

    Accutane can have bad sides, I've heard of dudes having their hair fall out on the shit. Best thing is avoid sugar, dairy, and drink a shit ton of water and take things like fish oil and biotin. I also use an exfoliating cloth which actually scrubs the acne away(good for body acne), when I started using testosterone and other mild steroids I had a break out on my back but using all of what I mentioned cured it. Hormones like DHT actually cause a lot of the acne, not testosterone itself but when it is converted to Dihydrotestosterone(DHT). Things like Saw Palmetto and pumpkin seed oil have been used to lower DHT.

    As I replied to Salada Im taking isotretinoin as a last resort but I'm goingt with a specialist, the problem is that he is giving me only antibiotics so the cysts disappear 1 or 2 two month and then they start to form again that why I want to experiment with no fapping, if it is unsuccessful I will talk with my doctor about the posibility of isotretinoin, if I need some kind of advice about it I'll sure PM you, no doubt about it, thanks for the positiveness! cheers!

    Yeah man I'm on a vegan diet, no sugar, no dairy, I only eat vegetables, fruits, seeds and legumes, I'm gonna try to get some fish oil, I have a "strict" face cleaning process so I've thought that hygiene isn't the cause. I need to read articles about DHT to understand it and see what else can help the problem. Thanks for your reply!
