Hi Christa.
I read your message, and I have to say I can relate. I have exactly the
same problem you do, for many years, and still nothing has helped.
What's worse is that I have quite a few scars from it - not deep ones,
but enough to make me a slave to the makeup routine also. I share your
pain.. please let me know if Diane-35 helps you, and whether you
experience side effects. I am new to this message board and his is the
first I have heard about this drug.
Thanks, and good luck!
Diana
