Please do not judge or make fun of me, I can't believe I have resorted to writing on a website but I just feel so embarassed and want help so badly so here it goes, I'm ashamed to admit this but I have acne that won't go away. It is so frustrating and I've tried everything(products include, proactiv, neutrogen, clearasil, soap and water and a baking soda regimen, and also something in a black bottle that I can't remember the name of.), But nothing is getting rid of it and I'm so embarassed, it makes me feel very insecure about myself. Some days it looks like its getting better but then I look in the mirror again and it looks worse. Unfortunately my diet consists of mainly fast food which I know is a problem but I have no money to change it. I really need ideas to help me with my skin. Can anyone help me please?!? My skin is sensitive and I would be very grateful for anyones ideas.
I also have another unfortunate problem, although these can be hidden so I am more concerned about the problem above. I am almost nineteen years old and have stretch marks!! I couldn't believe me eyes! I feel so embarrased. I havent gained any weight I have only lost weight, It wasn't a significant amount at all. I had only lost ten pounds in a matter of five years, which was about seven to ten years ago that this had happened. But just recently I have gotten the stretch marks. I'm so embarrassed
. I have no idea how I got them and no idea how to get rid of them, I've tried aloe vera but that does not work at all. I'm so embarrassed that I don't enjoy wearing shorts that much anymore.
Can someone please help?!? I would appreciate non-judgemental, friendly advice that will help me. Please help. :\

And diet is a big factor on acne. If you do eat a lot of fast food atleast make sure your eating all the food groups and getting all your vitamins and minerals. Also drink a lot of water.
Also I don't know know if you have insurance but if you do look into visiting a dermatologist. For sensitive skin I would use a gentle face wash, maybe a toner, a BP spot treatment, and a lightweight oil free moisturizer.
For the strech marks, there's not much you can do. I also have strech marks and I'm 16, there not as noticeable as you think and literally everyone has them. Mine just randomly showed up too. You can use Retin-A on them, which you have to get through a dermatologist or buy online. But any product you use for strech marks won't get rid of them in a month. It takes a long time for them to get better and they won't completely disappear but they will fade.
And I know you're probably thinking oh this girls only 16 and has no clue what she's talking about but I've had acne since 5th grade and I could probably be a dermatologist by now because of how much I know about acne and the number of times I've been to the dermatologist. Good luck!
