Be strong and fine information and support here on this site. There is several possibilities to do something for you acne and scars. Get back on your horse and be happy and positive!!

Hey I really know how you feel, but please know that it is 90% confidence in how people treat you. I have horrible scars but I do not let people know I'm upset by them, and I am treated no differently ( and I'm a woman). If you act confident you will look good. I can see the despair in your eyes

Ive done alot of research and my doctor said my only hope is c02 fraxel laser.

Its hard to act confident when people talk behind your back and your friends dont treat you the same.I act confident but people dont care.

Now I feel like my life is ruin.I went from having alot of confidence and got alot of attention from hot girls and now even the ugly girls look down on me.

This might sound harsh, but I don't think that's the right attitude. I get that you're not happy with what's happened to you (almost everyone on this forum has been in the exact same situation as you, so we really do get it), but you can't be annoyed that people look down on you because of your skin and at the same time judge others in the same way ("even the ugly girls look down on me").

Try not to think about it so much. Do things that you enjoy. And then you'll get your confidence back. And as others said, if you're confident in yourself, nobody will give a crap about a few scars. I mean, there's a tonne of Hollywood actors with scars. Some people even like it (it's admittedly easier for man than a woman though).

That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to improve our skin if we want to. This forum is great - take a look around and you'll see there are several treatment options for you.

I mean ugly girls by girls who make them self ugly by overeating or not caring how they look.I c always cared how i look and took caare of myself.I feel like what happened to me wasnt my fault it was like a freak accident

I don't really see the difference. Someone can be fat but have an underlying psychological or physiological disorder that's causing it. That's not their "fault", just as acne wasn't yours or my fault. Some people (mistakenly) think that acne is caused by eating too much sugar. Both are obviously wrong to judge upon.

What is your dermatologist giving you to control the breakouts? Is it working? When the active acne and red marks are cleared, I don't think the scars will bother you as much as you think. Just stay patient

all im getting is antibiotics now minocycline and some regime like proactive.I really cant wait till my acne goes down so I can get laser Ive seen many great results.I just want to look as normal as I can even if I have to wear makeup.My goal is 60 percent improvement becasue last year I was 60 percent not as bad and alot of girls still talked to me because it was that bad or as noticeable especially with a little makeup

Hey keep your head up i know how difficult it can be dealing with acne and how depression can get the best out of you because of it.

Try to keep your mind focus and dont let the negativity get to you. Just dont always think your the only one going thru it because your not. But please dont put yourself down.

I can't believe you have cystic acne and you are not on accutane / isotretinoin. You need to go on it like yesterday. It'll clear your acne quicker and better than anything else and if you're lucky it'll keep it away if not forever, then at least for a number of years. Bringing your active acne under control will improve your appearance alot. After that the discoloration should go away naturally so there's two significant improvements before you get to lasers or whatever you choose.

My acne hasnt really been cystic for a while becayse of antibiotics. Though I still breakout alot.

Buddy we'r the same age and have the same skin.I know how it feels... Your friends abandoned you because of your acne? And you call them "friends"? Seriously.I mean even my enemies don't criticize me for my acne.Just throw such people out of your life man! Will ya! I know it's dismal ...But you need to be tough and fight it.

Have you tried to regulate your diet and lifestyle? If not then please do it ASAP.Also do exercise everyday.It helps!

Strange how much your skin resembles to mine...I'm also having these annoying indented scars on my right cheek.They never go.I had this breakout like a century ago and the scars are still there.Scars add insult to injury! It's like a battlefield scene.You fight acne with all your strength and might,then when your sinews ache and all you want is to rest ,the scars come and prod you with an evil grin.

Don't despair my friend ...you'll be fine.Study your skin and fight a suitable regimen for yourself.Then when you get rid of acne completely ,get yourself under the laser and kill 'em bloody rat scars! This is at least what i'm trying to do.For the past 6 years LOL

Life is a pantomime and we are it's characters.

Antibiotics are temporary. Look into accutane

What sort of a person abandons someone because they have acne scars? That's ridiculous. They were never your friends to begin with.
