Nursing school = Acne?

I've heard that stress can make acne flare up out of nowhere, no matter what your age. My mom is 40-something and she still gets zits every once in a while.

Stress.

Used to get it on my face.

Now I've been getting it under my arms.

Yish. (or maybe I should say, Ooooooohhhhhhhmmmmmmm........)

... stress can make acne flare up... 40-something and ... still gets zits every once in a while.

So true. :)

:chuckle I feel your pain! I never broke out once in high school...no joke. I've got prescription acne medicine now!

Don't worry...it's only until graduation...well...then there's work, but...oh...then there's family...and, gee, then there's.... :wink2:

Chin up (with plenty of concealer )

yes, i got acne in nursing school. it was so stressful. now i have to take tetracycline.

Definitely stress-related and don't forget diet.. During the first half of this year when I was commuting an hour and half one way to take O-Chem and Bio Chem and Stats I ate fast food probably several times a week.. I haven't been in school this summer and haven't eaten much fast food (and of course haven't been stressed) and your post just reminded me that all those pimples that were residents on my forehead during that time seem to have taken a vacation as well...

Hahahahahaha!

You got it! The never-ending circle of life, stress and acne.

Don't feel bad I have severe acne and I am 26! I take oral antibiotics and use Retin-A but since starting nursing school I notice they are back with a vengance. The plus side to it is that every one thinks I am really only 19 and just graduated from High School! :rotfl:

for me nursing school = bigger brain = bigger *** (literally!)

*** = butt

I haven't had acne problems since I was 14....I'm 26 and last semester I broke out constantly. I think this is due to drinking too much soda to stay awake, stress, and lack of sleep!
