MILES HAD ACNE

[@MilesChronicles]

DAMN. Skin isn't just one type fits all, and neither is beauty. Being the only featured youtuber at a convention with a face full of acne, or the only person on T in all my trans friends with this severe of acne really made me feel so alone and like I did something wrong. I hope this video reaches someone else who is feeling the same way I was. Dots on your face shouldn't matter to the person sitting next to you. And if it does, you need to move seats. If it matters to you hopefully some of my tips help! One day you just woke up on this rock floating in space, there is so much more to do than dwell on acne.

Miles: * introduces an entirely new hormone into his body * People: WaSh YoUr FaCe

[@Luka-zi9kv]

It’s not a “new” hormone, just more of it to make sure his testosterone levels are higher than estrogen. We all have testosterone and estrogen, the levels just differ depending on your sex.

[@NotSewNoah]

Fryan I think they understood in the first place but obviously it was a joke and miles liked it. You can’t over explain a joke or it loses value.

[@Luka-zi9kv]

Alli - Crombie I’m just correcting something they said. The joke wouldn’t lose value if they just said he took testosterone..

[@NotSewNoah]

Fryan it loses value cause you over explained it. It didn’t need to be explained you stick in the mud

[@biandreadytocry7939]

Fryan but it’s true, he injected testosterone into his body. Just like if you’re taking medications such as melatonin, you have it in your body but you’re still taking it.

i had horrible acne for years and tried EVERYTHING. I eventually had to turn to Accutane as my last resort, which cleared up my acne but has caused other damage and side effects to my body I can't reverse. I will never forget the physical PAIN it used to cause me, and I will never forget the embarrassment and shame it made me feel, I'll never forget the times I missed out on social occasions because I was mortified to show my face, I'll never forget having to go to work and school every day despite it and not being able to hide.

Thankfully, it’s slowly starting to calm down and my acne scars have mostly faded, but I’ve had lots of comments from my friends and those around me about it all through high school. I’d always feel kinda self-conscious when people old complain about like a tiny pimple on their clear ass skin. AND THEY NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW LUCKY THEY WERE.

I’m SO glad you finally talked about this! I have a similar experience: I recently started antidepressants after trying everything to not have to go on them, but still feeling absolutely miserable. I went on them and everything was fine for a little while, but then at about one month in, I started getting cystic acne. I talked with my doctor and turns out that this antidepressant is messing with my hormones, therefore causing this horrible acne. So now I’m stuck between having acne (which doesn’t help with my negative self image), and stopping this medication/ switching to a different brand where I have the chance that It’ll either not work, or I’ll become suicidal again. Hoping that since you were able to get through your acne and it eventually balanced out, mine will do the same. Guess I just gotta keep waiting it out.

not everyone has money for a dermatologist and people can research for their whole lives and it doesnt mean its going to fix their skin fast or at all. it takes time especially in teen years bc that's your hormones and there's no stopping it. other reasons people have acne is diet and not everyone can just change their diet. also some products may work for you but you cant afford to keep buying it. soo maybe you shouldn't judge people bc of their skin :)

Tbh miles, never noticed the change in your skin. Just saw you as you and still do. Happy to see you happier though. It's tough starting HRT.

[@aestheticqueen9435]

I honestly think you looked great no matter what, as long as you were happy. You’re a king..... you’re royal 🌵 👑

[@bunnybeats08]

honestly, this gave me hope that my acne can get better

[@maserati2112]

Well done for talking about your acne, it is so hard to deal with when you have so many trolls just ripping you to pieces. I’ve had acne for most of my adult life, fortunately it is the best it has been in a while but it hurts so much when people comment, do they even realise that you are already stressed over it, they probably have nothing better to do with their sad little lives. You look great now Miles, can see how positive you are now. Puberty is over👏

[@internetaccounttt]

Oh my God dude I feel this so hard. I have acne and everyone at school is always making fun of it so I just laugh along, but it honestly hurts me because I do so much to help my acne and it seems like everyone thinks that I don't wash my face. I'm scared to transition because I already have acne and I know it'll probably get worse. Thank you so much for making this video, it honestly helped me a lot

[@ellafulkerson149]

First Lysm miles thank you for helping through my transition love youuuuuuu Edit: you help me through the tough times and I’m so proud of you and I want to be able to look up to you throughout my whole transition so ya Another edit if any of y’all have tips on coming out as trans masc help me please

[@aarong3295]

What I’m doing to come out is write in a journal about all my dysphoria and what I’m excited to try to be more masculine then I’m going to leave it under my parents pillow while I’m at a sleepover.

[@mickeymousetrap2432]

Yeah, karma. People make fun of your acne, then it goes away. But you're daddy either way. 4:23 Shrek AF

2:20 when depression/suicidal thoughts is a side effect of anti-depressants

[@jw5386]

Lol yeahh

[@lillybug2546]

So glad Miles is better because BOI you deserve everything good in this world!!! Love that you’re happy and healthy and feeling yourself!!!

[@ditzyrose700]

Yes, seeing you with acne didn't make my own insecurity go away. BUT it did help me to rationalize how I felt about myself and helped me to realize that perfectly clear skin wasn't necessarily the end all be all to living a normal, happy life. That still holds an incredible amount of value, I don't care what you say. Thank you for being such a great role model for us.

[@NotSewNoah]

I never really focused on that part of you. I just watched your videos and listened to your messages.

[@jamesontoast69]

I was thinking ‘I should have that quote put somewhere’ I now realise that ‘hurt people hurt people’ looks like an evil chant and it’s probably not the best idea.

"People who hurt other people, are hurt themselves"

[@cowboy352]

Miles having enough strength to post selfies with acne made me so much more confident in myself.

[@RockyJSquirrel06]

I'm so damn glad that you got through all of that hate. You're such a kind and generous person with your time and your authenticity, and it really sucks that some people responded to that with cruelty. You deserve that absolute world, and I am so proud to see you continually push for better for you and the folks who look up to you.

[@taysiafarr315]

miles you have helped me so much at school with me coming out. I'm still in middle school and most people don't understand. and watching your videos has helped me through my insecurities cause you showed me that I have so much to hope for I just wanted to thank you. p.s. shrek is proud of you!
