Do you have acne?

Many doctors like to say shit like "you cant cure acne, even if you will use

accutane". But seems every visitor of eunuch.org knows how to cure

this disease - just castration.

Acne! Welcome to my world!

With several young male charges of my own, we have acne. We have Stridex, we have Oxy99 (or whatever number they're up to now), we have shots, we have creams, we have pads, and we STILL have zits! Zits are wonderful things, especially when you sneak up on the poor unsuspecting 'zitee' and pop them. The howls of pain are hilarious. We keep Windex near the bathroom mirror at all times.

Zits are usually caused by puberty and rampant male hormones. The stuff is hanging so thick in the air here that you can cut it with a knife, literally...bad pun, I know.

HRT will also cause zits. I had HRT in 1999, and I had zits. It wasn't fun at all, so I quit. I had very few zits when I was a teenager, but that's another long story.

I only have the occassional zit now.

Of course, the only sure-fire cure for acne is neutering, and that's just not caught on in modern culture.

Therefore, I can only recommend careful face washing, judicious use of anti-zit meds, and a lot of encouragement!

Be careful. This can be a problem that results in scarring. It really need not be.
