This is the part where we ask you to reach into your pockets and toss us some coin! If you have any. This is the link to our Patreon! Lol!CW: Discussion of diets and restriction (specifically, old-fashioned diets that were prescribed for acne).Urine. Honey. X-Rays. What on God's green earth do these things have in common? Well, they've all historically been used as ACNE TREATMENTS. Today, we're stepping into our time-traveling-mobile and whisking off to ancient Egypt, sixteenth century France, the Roaring Twenties and more. Our mission? To traverse time to uncover the history of acne diagnoses and treatments. ---Works Referenced:Carusillo, C. (2016, November 15). The history of acne. Repeller.
