Hi everyone. I'm just wondering if you guys ever feel guilty about your acne. I'm not currently seeing a dermatologist, and I'm not taking any antibiotics or prescriptions meds, so sometimes I feel like if I'm not doing everyone possible to get rid of it then it's my fault that I still have it. I do use an acne cleanser and spot treatment. My acne's moderate, not severe, but it's still pretty bad to me, especially since it's all concentrated right on my forehead between my eyes (where everyone looks at me!). To make matters worse, I have to give a presentation tomorrow, and I'm afraid that people are going to judge me for not trying harder to get rid of it. And I really hate wearing thick makeup, so while I'll use some concealer in the morning to hide some of the redness, I'm not going to be able to cover all the marks. Have any insight?
Ha, funny, I feel intense guilt for the opposite reason.
I see a dermatologist and have been taking antibiotics for the last 5 years. Knowing the dangers of long term antibiotic use, I often feel intense guilt about sacrificing my health for a temporary improvement to my appearance.
I very much feel this way. very strong feeling of guilt that I can't shake.
and it's weird because I expect to feel shame but it's confusing to feel guilt, and I keep telling myself that this is something that's happening to me and not something I did, but somehow I have this strong emotional feeling that my acne is just an external expression of something being wrong with me inside and now everybody sees it. like I deserve it somehow.
