Hi everyone, I joined this forum in hopes of support and maybe similiar stories. I have had severe Acne for 5+ years now, trying everything from Proactiv, retinoids, Aczone and tazorac. The only thing it did was get rid of the Acne for a short term (and not to mention they costed A LOT). I've tried organic African soap too, but it only made it worse. I honestly feel so defeated because even my dermatologist said it shouldve healed 1 year ago and then he suggested cosmetic surgery. I literally cried the whole drive home. It is just so saddening how Acne is ruining my life----it makes me feel worse around people, I've even worn makeup just because it gives me some confidence. I know it shouldn't matter that i have acne because "it's about your personality," yah of course it is but looks give first impressions too, and my acne is horrible. I have it on my left and right cheek, it's much worse on the left one. I have keloid scars and marks on my chest and back too.I am a 19yr old male btw

Anyways, I've come upon Water Fasting last month and have been amazed at what people have said has happened to their skin issues during and post fast. I've been drinking only 100% natural juices and water for 5 days and plan to for one more day. After tomorrow, I will only drink water for hopefully 14 days....I will listen to my body. After i break my fast, I will eat a healthy, raw food based diet, again.....hopefully

Has anyone else done a Water Fast for their skin issues? Is 14 days too short? Too long? Sorry for the lengthy post lol
