The active acne's more or less gone (took like three weeks to finally subside) but of course it left even more redmarks and scars, and pretty nasty ones. OTOH the new scarring is mostly on my left cheek which was significantly less scarred than my right cheek before, so this does kind of even things out.
although the acne isn't necessarily an argument against getting the cam, it could just add more pathos to my show lulz.
