Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

My face is a mess, and it's affecting my life

Just a week ago, I was celebrating my perfectly clear skin and I was not afraid to look in the mirror after taking a shower because I knew my face was blemish free. Right now however, I feel like my face has never looked worse. I have a total of six spots on my face and I can't even look in the mirror without wanting to break down and cry. I have refused to go outside at all these past few days because I'm too embarrassed to show my face. I have two huge scabs that I've had since Saturday on my forehead, one big scab on my left cheek that I've had since Sunday, a normal pimple that began as a nodule right next to the scab on my cheek yesterday, and a smaller scab next to that as well as another small scab on my right cheek. My dad walked into my room yesterday and said, "wow, your face looks terrible." I don't know what to do with myself. I keep telling myself that in another week, my scabs will be healed and my face will be normal again, but I don't think I can wait that long. They are nearly impossible to conceal and I can't leave my house without makeup. I have a terrible habit of skin picking that I let get the best of me, and now I'm paying the price. How should I overcome this? I want to be able to leave my house, but makeup will prolong the healing of my face. Somebody please help, I can't even look in the mirror!here is my current state.

Hi I feel you I had 6 spots out of nowhere too!
Id say never pick at scabs or pores, only pop a pimple if its ready and after you've taken a warm shower and with the proper sterilization techniques.
I suggest finding out why you break out and trying to treat it. It could be hormones, foods, make up etc. Tell your dad its not helping g to state the obvious.
I hope you feel better.
