I gotta say, it's nice to talk to someone about acne for once. Feels kind of nice y know... Almost as nice as if I didn't have any.
Acne have been an ENORMOUS part of my life ever since they started being awful. I'm 17 by the way. I always had skin that's somehow sensitive, but my actually bad acne experience began around the summer before the first year of high school. I had some medium-ish back acne, I can't say my face was bad. That was the first time I started to do the ''shirt quickdraw''. (still do it, unfortunately) I literally can change shirts without exposing my chest, upper back and upper arms for more than half a second. Besides that, the First grade of highschool went ok. What I mean by that, is that my face was ok. But then, during the next summer and the whole second grade, my face gone simply horrible. I started to avoid too bright areas, at all times thought about how my face looked under the current lighting and such. Luckily, It's kind off ok now, in the third grade. I can't say that my face skin looks great, but I very rarely have inflamed cists and such, and I still have mild scarring that I counting on to fade over time.
BUT. (no, not butt, although there are some on my butt here an there, but nothing special)
The face's not the problem My upper arms acne is simply horrible. The back and chest are actually quite fine by my criteria, but the upper arms situation is killing me. I haven't taken off my shirt in public for about three years now, actually. My self confidence is horrible. I'm usually not a shy person, just on the contrary, I find myself quite good at... I dunno how to say it actually... ''talking up girls'', dunno... But the thing is that, at this age, if I had a girlfriend, pretty soon we would be intimate (and I simply am not prepared for it at this stage), and on the other hand, when I go out I feel quite reserved about talking to girls, because, you know, one thing leads to another...
The sex life isn't the only problem. This summer I've gotten a few invites to the beach and such, but I guess I don't have to explain why I didn't go. Also, I kind off started hating PE, not for the exercising and sports itself, that's great fun, but for the dressing room.
I think masturbating has a lot to do with it. I am starting the 30 day challenge, and I'll see how it goes. I also think of starting a dairy-free diet for a small amount of time at first, to see if it helps. Not immidiately, ofcourse, I'm doing the masturbation one at the moment. It's day zero, btw
To be honest, I don't actually know why I wrote this. I guess I just wanted to express myself about this since I dont feel like talking about it with anyone I actually know.
Oh yeah, one question. Did anyone try to use the usual Nivea hand-creme on acne stains? I think it helps, but not sure yet, anyone?
