If I had to choose over having pimples for 3 years again or having a throatache and stuffed nose for 3 years, bring on the ugly!

It's all a matter of degrees, isn't it? I'd certainly have a concrete-stuffed nose and a razor in my throat over having my back all covered in cystic acne.

Whatever makes you sleep comfortably at night
Personally, I'd only ever take the cold over the acne if I knew I couldn't fake a sickie that day.- #65

Bad advice.
Scar tissue darkens much more than regular epithelial tissue when exposed to sunlight.

Actually the advice isn't so bad... it's just giving the wrong reason why it would work
