Do your parents often give you the speech of acne will go away and it does t matter or it doesn't look that bad... I get it all the time for one and it makes me really mad. Personally, I've had it for so long as a male that I have even resulted to using concealers just about every time I go in public. This factor had gotten my mom thinking I'm crazy and even gay. I am none of he sort though, never had a girlfriend yet due to me being shy with acne filling my mind. No I'm not bad looking either because I get good smiles all the time when I'm wearing concealer, but underneath it I feel fake. I'd just like to remove that feeling and go back to normal so bad. Anyways, I just felt like saying that. Anyone feel similar or got some stories?

"Doesn't look that bad"? That's the kind of thing ignorant clear-skinned people to say to acne sufferers in a vain attempt to relate. The kind of people I hate - the ones who just do not understand what it's like but pretend they do.

The reason why acne is so depressing is because we have little control over it. Once you gain control over your acne, your confidence will soar.

Good luck

and male or female, we all do what ever we have to do to cope and to get out of the house - if that means wearing concealer then do it!!

it is a journey, dealing with the scars and the hyperpigmentation, the progress is slow, and the concealer helps us cope, nothing wrong with that

Yea. Too bad the ignorant person is my family. She acts like she cares so much about me, but when I really need parents for support such as things like acne, they just tend to flaw out. It really gets on my nerves. If you never had acne as a child (She didnt), then you really don't know how bothering and life tempering it can really be. On the side note, when I get kids, I'd give them a lot more attention to smaller things like this. It really makes a difference in the long run.

When I was younger. But you can't blame your parents they don't know any better. There just saying what they heard someone else say.

Use this regimen 2 pumps of bp and 2 pumps of cetaphil moisturizer mixed with 30 drops of jojoba oil. Use CVS oilpads to wipe away shine. Your breakouts will stop immediately and within 2 weeks all existing pimples will be gone.
