I have suffered from mild-moderate acne for about 3 years now, but it has always been focused on my forehead. Recently last year, I managed to clear my skin and I was acne free for about 2-3 months but then suddenly, at the start of this year, I broke out on my cheeks (which I have never had before!). This really damaged my self esteem and caused me to see a dermatologist. Since then, I have been prescribed yasmin birth control (been on it only fora week though)to help clear up my skin along with Stieva-A cream (which is a retinoid, used for 2 months) to help with acne along with scarring. It has been approximately two months and my acne is worst than ever. I have breakouts on my forehead and cheeks and I just feel so depressed. I don't want to go out in public. I don't want to see my boyfriend. I don't want to live anymore. I feel shit about myself constantly, I feel like people are watching me. I feel like everyone is looking at my acne and judging me. I always look at people's skin and just envy them for their beautiful clear skin. I'm so sad. I no longer have motivation to do anything because of my acne. I'm sick of this despair and struggle. Nothing seems to be working for me.
