Acne scars leading to financial ruin

I always had acne throughout my teenage years but it wasn't until my early twenties when the scarring got bad.

For over ten years I was refused accutane by the NHS, they made me feel like there was no problem and that I was bothering them. Finally last year I found the money to go private and haven't looked back since, but the damage has been done.

I have an awful scar on the bridge of my nose near my eyebrows. Last year I had a charlatan dermatologist perform a scar revision which made it look even worse. The scar stretched out and I am left with a big red splodge. Now I have to have it done with a private hospital + fat transfer - costing 600+.

Not only that but I have atrophic scarring on my cheeks. It isn't widespread but the sunken scars are horrible. I've read that the only thing to help will be CO2 resurfacing? That costs like 1500+ in the UK which I can't afford.

I can't move on in life because of my acne scars. I feel angry 24/7 because I shouldn't have to deal with this if it wasn't for the incompetent NHS. Forums like this are no help either. I've asked so many times about atrophic scarring but no one wants to help and there are no definitive answers.

I've found most "health professionals" to be charlatans who only want money. The UK is worst for this and I am sick of it. I just want to move on from this nightmare.

I hate to be the one to say this but I would want someone to say it me . Bro life sucks it really does it knocks you down , but you have to decide to get back up n fight, we all have to deal with all these flaws , some bad some mild etc so don't feel left out bro really you just got to find a lil hope in yourself n know things will get better , as we progress in the future we will have a better treatments . Anytime I cut myself I know it will heal over time as they say time heals all wounds. If your worried about relationships look up red pill and mgtow.if your a girl you can still do it. There are so many opportunities out there do not give up. Fuck everyone else you have to worried about yourself , your born alone you die alone. Make it work and enjoy life god blessed. Just sit there n think . What you put out will reflect one way or another so try to stay positive.
