CRITICAL help needed

hi guys idek what to say but this year i have literally changed as a person for the worst. long story short, in year 12 i worked super hard and got predicted A*AAA, from there onwards it went downhill. SOMEHOW i scraped a good enough ucat and im so thankful to have gotten an offer.

Im beyond grateful for how far ive come but have donenothing to show it - ive struggled so much this year and put revision off and off and off and now we’re here. In my latest mocks i got BCU. Can you believe it? (U for chem cuz i knew none of the content). You would think this would motivate me but im only used to doing well, i got and 8-9 in my gcses as well and so i then went on to ruin myself further. Furthermore, i knew many peple were in my situation as well, but ended up getting into med school and thought i could do the same.

Im going to take full accountability, 90% of this is my fault as ive spent so much time feeling sorry for myself because of the state of my sixthform, but at one point it became only me to blame.

Anyways, my offer for med is ABB - i know its catastrophically low for med, and was so shocked to even get this, but at this rate i dont think i will even get that. I have 70-75% of the content covered or perhaps less. Im yet to start exam practice. Will i make it? Should i withdraw? Do sixthforms even intake year 13’s again or only yr 12’s? My head is all over the place and i dont know what to do except cry. I have so much more stuff to say but think i should cut it here- it you have any questions just lmk.

Any help would be appreciated 🙃

▲ 9 r/Fungalacne

Hi guys! the first picture is my forehead in the sun, the second is my forehead from the front, in normal lighting (from the side tho i think it looks the same as the sun). My WHOLE LIFE ive dealt with these annoying spot-non spot texture. It looks horrible under makeup and sometimes spreads to the rest of my face. I cant find my type of acne online, you cant actually feel the bumps majority of the time, except when it flares, but it is so visible.

The thing is, i wash my hair once a week (wear a headscarf, my hair is also trained so doesnt get greasy) and whenever i do, this ‘acne’ on my forehead dies down and my the rest of my skin clears up sm, but 2 days later its back! idk if its my lack of hair wash, or my hair products? im so confused and am dying for any advice.
Also, my skin currently is SUPER sensitive, breaks out to literally air (like, proper breaks out, not like the pics above)

I will list the things ive tried below if interested:
nizoral, head and shoulders (used on face + hairline)
salicylic acid (dont think i used right/ long enough)
glycolic acid
niacinamide
currently switching between retinol + azelaic acid
hyaluronic acid (also using rn)
acnecide face gel
tea tree toner
(ofc i used all of these over the course of years, never together)

lmk if anyone would like to know my current routine, or wants more info!
