I notice several comments every now and then mentioning how Acne shouldn't be an obstacle of getting involved in a relationship with someone you love, I give people who say that the benefit of the doubt their intentions are only to be supportive and caring.
I just have one question, Hypothetically someone falls in love with me how am I supposed to have a normal relationship with a person who I can't even kiss because I've inflammatory acne all over my mouth ? I myself don't think it's appropriate fairness wise to disgust someone with my condition, Yes someone might love me regardless of my scars and acne but as far as normality is concerned it's definitely not gonna be an ordinary relationship because it's as simple as that ... The things that sound and seem so basic for other people are gonna be very complicated and not as plain as it should have been.

This seriously puzzles me. Where I'm from I see guys with really bad acne and scarring and they have no problem getting good looking girls. Myself i also think scarred face doesnt look that bad on a guy. Maybe the real problem is confidence?

As far as I know, inflammatory acne around the mouth is due to serious stomach/gut issues, try looking into that. I always get nasty pimples on under-the-nose area and very close to my lips when my eating gets worse. Just healed my recent around-the-mouth breakout with apple cider vinegar before my meals. Have you tried it? Regarding the relationship question, that wouldn't work out first of all because of how you feel about it. And i know its impossible to feel good with your partner when your mouth hurts from inflammed pimples. Try to heal it to the point YOU feel good enough to kiss, its the only way, i think.

Thanks for being understanding and considerate, The thing is lately my nutrition is atrocious because whenever I'm quite depressed I take comfort in food, Fortunately I'm one of those guys who stay skinny regardless of the huge amount of food they consume honestly It's the only thing I can think of right now to be thankful for, However I think that's the reason why I breakout a lot recently especially around my mouth and chin I tried to have a good diet for 5 months or so and the attempt didn't pay off as I thought it would my face slightly cleared up but not to the point of satisfaction thus I'm frightened of trying to experiment again because I get traumatized every time I try something new that doesn't get me even half the result I was hoping for.

Khaled, I would maybe say stop having expectations based solely on clearing acne. We, who suffer from this condition, try out diets and medications with the only goal - to clear our faces, often forgetting that we should first of all start off by improving our overall health. Try making steps to a generally healthier lifestyle, without expecting that it will directly clear you up. Like really, take up something thinking : I'm doing this for better sleep/digestion/energy or whatever it could be. Like with the apple cider vinegar (I'm not preaching you should use of course, just using as an example to illustrate what I mean), if you start drinking it before every meal expecting that your face will improve, you will most likely be disappointed, because no change will occur in any reasonable time, but the step towards getting to the problem is taken - maybe it will slowly start improving your digestion, regulate blood glucose levels, then you improve your diet, workout, improve sleep... You know, cause it's good for every human being! When we have a good base it's much much easier to clear our acne as well, cause why would it thrive in a healthy body?
So my point is - don't do things for acne, do things around it, if that makes sense. A cure for each of us is usually a combination of things, not one solution, as much as we would like to...
As for relationship part - same here, don't make it your goal. Make being happy your goal. 
someone told me all u need is a big d and a big wallet
Was ment to go too work put make up on looking shooking in light wash face sit in computer with room locked again.........

Well that's actually a very insightful resolve but it's easier said than done, The most important concept I try to implement into my daily overthinking routine is a tool of emptying my brain of negative thoughts and replenishing it with optimistic ones but there's always more to it than meets the eye. I can't just snap out of the mentality that has been stuck with me my entire life "oversensitive to an indescribable extent in addition to obsessive-compulsive disorder" it's something tattooed into my genes so being stressed-out, Worried and terrified about every little detail is not something I've any control over that's just how my brain involuntarily functions.
Recently I've been going through hell to even have a good night's sleep because I'm always under the impression that I'm gonna have a pile of nightmares and that's actually what happens most of the time in a really disturbing way it takes me about 4 hours to get out of my absent-minded mood thinking about all the freakishly bizarre stuff that happened in my sleep it's a horror festival down there Lol, My mind has always been so malicious to me if only it listens to the voice of reason for once just for a change and stop being overwhelmingly strict
Sorry for rambling on about unnecessary events needed to vent out.
Yes, certainly. Those scars are rolling scars that I had/have. My fillers were claimed to be permanent, but they did go down a little bit.
The pictures shown here are before and I believe 2 weeks after the procedure took place. Right now, my skin looks even better. I don't know if it was the filler or time, but something made it look a lot better than that monstrocity that it was before. I got it touched up a little once again, but then I stopped going because I wasn't fully satisfied. There are pictures of the current state of my skin on a thread that I opened up a few months ago, if you want to check those out. No need to apologize. Ask any questions you wish.
I could upload a picture to show you that my skin has actually improved since then, but I wouldn't want people to flame me saying that my skin is fine and that I'm complaining or whatever, so maybe shoot me a PM if you're interested and we can also discuss the procedure further.

I don't know who told you that it's "in your genes", but please don't believe that crap we are told to believe to make ourselves feel useless. I was also convinced by my relatives, that being mentally unstable was meant for me, because of my dad and his parents, where one was an alcoholic, and the other committed suicide. Not only was I told that I'm mentally fucked up because of bad genes, but I was always treated like this fragile, sickly child who'll break into two if not careful enough. My mom always made every single cough a huge deal, and pitied me, which made me grow up thinking I'm weak and meant to have acne and be sick and act crazy. It's like programming yourself for failure. When I found a way to not let such things get to me, I couldn't understand why I let myself believe that.
If your mind is stuck in a certain way of thinking, like compulsiveness and negativity, there's nothing wrong in seeking help in psychiatry, just think that there is a certain chemical process happening in your brain, and modern medicine have already figured out how to active certain brain parts and deactivate the others. Just don't be paralyzed by "I am meant to be this way", cause we can modify ourselves.
About the sleeping part - I understand you completely, it's a hell for me too - every time I go to sleep my brain is switched on to start analyzing things from the past, and if I finally fall asleep then I have a myriad of vivid, exhausting dreams. Tonight I finally slept well and what helped me was simply earplugs. Somehow, when all the world around you is muted, my brain was muted also. Didn't have bad dreams either, cause maybe when you're not actively thinking before falling asleep, it doesn't activate it somehow, I don't know. Try earplugs, feels weird at first, but it works to shut that nasty brain! )
You sound exactly like how I am. I worry about everything. I'm obsessed with my image, among other things. It effects my work flow as well.
I've been down so much recently, I've been going to sleep at any hour of the night. I find it hard to sleep because I'm constantly thinking and need to do something that's not just laying in a bed trying to fall asleep. Sometimes I fall asleep at 10pm, sometimes 5am. It's very unhealthy. I have a malicious mind too, except lately it has gotten worse in terms of negativity. I always beat myself up and my brain sometimes runs on auto-pilot with these thoughts like, "Oh I'm so stupid or I'm so worthless. I can't even help myself to the point where I can be happy with myself", etc.
Well, I rather not put the blame on genes, but put the blame on society and our own unique personalities. It's good that you don't believe that garbage any more, it shows that you've grown.

Very inspirational story and I get from it that you were able to extinguish and overcome the negative beliefs you had your entire life, It has always been a pleasure knowing that other people are actually making progress and successfully managing to make a turn of events regardless of what the circumstances are you know that's about the only behavior that momentarily brings back hope.
I've talked to a psychiatrist but I stopped having sessions because I refused to be put on any antidepressant "That's where my mental disorders plays its well-deserved role of keeping my life at it's current state of ruination and sufferance" I know it will improve my mood and work wonders at first but I'm afraid that it will be followed by an utter loss of hope because I've always wanted to treat my scars and acne which was the substantial factor of aggravating my condition in the first place then I came to the realization that it can't be done after having undergone many procedures and treatments "Laser-peeling ... etc" without any noticeable result. However right now I'm seriously considering the possibility of being treated psychologically but I'm horrified because it's my last resolve and I've exhausted any concept or method of improving my life.
And thanks for the advice I'm definitely gonna try earplugs/sleeping mask if that's what it takes to have a good night's sleep, I'm just afraid that by deactivating my other human senses it will stimulate my brain to overthink even more Loool. Sorry for being sarcastic in such a context it's just the way I deal with my depression lately by laughing about it.

I am happy to hear that my story, though only momentarily, gave you some positive feeling.
We're often stuck in a certain behavior or way of thinking because of many different circumstances, but people around us don't realize that and immediately start sticking labels that it's something expected, normal, typical for us... I hate that.
You sound like someone who's really good at analyzing yourself, Khaled. Don't think of psychiatry as last resort, it's actually a first step! You will be able to continue your journey towards getting better skin with more relaxed mind. About the scarring - might be really hard to reach anywhere close to perfection, while fixing them, but is it really needed? Some people will find them unattractive, but there are also people who'll find your body shape, nose, voice, the way you chew your food (lol) unattractive - we'll never satisfy all. And the worst part is, we'll never satisfy ourselves 
Hehe, well it might depend from person to person, but for me, when i mute the outside world, my brain seems to not be interested in thinking anymore I think sounds and lights trigger the brain. Also make sure it's not only dark because of the eye mask, but it's dark in the room generally (no blinking pc lights etc), cause then your brain will start making melatonin which will put you to sleep.

I'm not easily persuaded into anything but let's say that if I actually take the decision to psychological treatment it will have something to do with this conversation you may have opened my eyes to something I've never considered or made me look at it through a different perspective.
Frankly everything you said is very rational and not one minute goes by without all of it crossing my mind gradually it's just that people sometimes need others establishing a base for them in order to enforce such logical thinking on oneself, Just one small little complication is that I don't trust doctors honestly no body does in my country they're really incompetent and this is not just something that's been going around falsely actually a friend of mine got his life more ruined due to antidepressant overdose he used to wake me up at night by calling every two hours or so begging to save him because the (Bed) Is hovering over his head trying to kill him Rofl such a funny story.
See now that's the kind of stuff I've to deal with whenever I tend to take any vital decision in my life. Nonsense.
Well, I'm not surprised that you are going through the same dilemma and dealing with it the same way I do some people have very similar minds but it definitely relieves me knowing I'm not going through this alone and that the thought that crosses my mind every now and then is simultaneously being processed by other people overseas.
This is why this website is probably a second home to many of us here.
Because we all have similar minds.
Where are you from btw? You mentioned no body trusts doctors in your country, so I'm curious to know. lol

Oh man more similarities here's another common interest we share "Curiosity". I'm from Egypt Believe me right here the progress of civilization stopped once we built the pyramids Lol the country is not actually as movies pictures it whatsoever but efficiency wise we are trash in 90% percent of modern-day fields not just medical care.
Fasten your seat-belt this is gonna take a while. For instance I did a couple of erbium yag laser sessions in one of the most well-known cosmetic centers in Cairo then I find out that the person who performed it isn't qualified or even remotely related to the medical/nursing community she just happens to be a relative of my dermatologist who works there lol Wanna hear something funnier the center itself doesn't have a license to practice any kind of procedures related to cosmetology yet the department responsible for monitoring these types of breaking-the-law acts knows about him and nobody cares. The (....Put here a word of your choice to describe a despicable human being.....) Didn't tell me not to get exposed directly to the sunlight after having the laser sessions even though I emphasized on this particular point to make sure not to screw things up and he told me that his device is very high-technology and sophisticated to the point where that my skin won't even feel the procedure "Liaaaaaaaaaaar" or get affected by other symptoms like other old-fashioned devices cause Lol omg can you believe that ? Even though it's not me who said it I sound stupid just retelling it !!!! You can only imagine how my complexion looked after two or three days of going out in daylight
With all that said it doesn't illustrate how much I hate doctors, They are greedy, unqualified, arrogant and you can add any other negative attribute you can think of. However no offense to anyone I'm only speaking of personal experience in my country I'm sure there are other countries proud of the efficiency of their medical community but Egypt No No if you visit make sure to bring a staff of doctors with you because here they are good for nothing.
I'm pretty talkative I must have bored you out but you asked you had to suffer the consequences
My regards.
Not boring at all. Interesting read. It sounds like the medical industry there is corrupt. I'm sorry to hear that. I completely understand what you mean now when you say that you don't trust the doctors in your country.
I live in Canada, the doctors here are pretty decent. It's a hit or miss though. No where is perfect..
Anyway, what type of acne scarring are you battling and what is the current procedure that you're looking into?
For me, I'd like to try out Subcision and/or Derma Stamping. I just don't know if it fares well with my type of rolling scars.
*sigh* to be thinking about this every day is so damn exhausting. -_-

A wide combination of all kinds of scarring types (Rolling/Ice pick/Hyperpigmentation...etc) The last dermatologist I went to convinced me to try Accutane I had never considered it because of the side effects and horror stories surrounding it I'm quite paranoid as you already must have discovered about my personality by now, However I stopped because my liver enzymes got so high.
He almost persuaded me into a laser session of a device responsible for vascular treatments even though I stressed on the point that the thing that concerns me the most is my skin being not even not hyperpigmentation I know that it's probably easier to be treated so I wanted to save it for last but he didn't suggest any subtle repairing option. The dilemma expresses itself right now that I'm still breakingout really bad so I'm just hoping for my face to be cleared up first before considering new procedures, That's gonna be a hustle though as you already know I've no clue where to start I can afford traveling to another country maybe for a month or so but the result I'm hoping for isn't gonna be achieved by undergoing one procedure it's only logical that there has to be an interval between one another.
Overthinking isn't something strange to me anymore it's more of a lifestyle than a mental disorder.
"Overthinking isn't something strange to me anymore it's more of a lifestyle than a mental disorder."
I know that ALL too WELL!
I have olive complexion and my hyper pigmentation takes a while to fade. If you have olive complexion, blame your hyper pigmentation issues on that.
On another note, I heard MSM cream helps the appearance of rolling scars, so I ended up buying some a few months ago. I keep forgetting to use it, needless to say. Is it even possible to raise scars with creams? I highly doubt it tbh but that's not my profession so I'm not too sure.
no it wont do anything u need to go to a derm don't beilve the fads, i to have oilve skin just trying to get my skin tone more evened now after a hit of tca cross i went to a derm and did that. This time im just going to do 50% tca as much as a can maybe 6 times then go to a derm and he can do what eever subsuction, punch, elevate scar all he can then finsh it with a laser and hopefully i can do the things i always wanted to do then.
I've olive skin as well before I had acne I always thought it had its pros and cons but acne just messes it all though regardless of the skin tone.
The thing is everyday I unintentionally find myself doing my daily researching routine about new treatments and stuff and I come across ancient outdated treatments I've never even heard of before and new ones, I get all optimistic and worked up about it because I think of the possibility that there has to be some kind of a treatment I missed which is suitable for my skin type and condition. Then I lose the slightest glimpse of hope I had thinking about how unnatural it is to be busy my whole day analyzing my situation when I should've been enjoying my life to the fullest If I didn't have to deal with damned acne.
That's what I figured. Well, I can still use it as a moisturiser I guess.
Yeah, I do the same thing, except I log onto this site thinking there's going to be a miracle post about someone who found an article on the release of a ground breaking procedure or whatever. That's been going on for years, to say the least. Just more so recently. The problem is, when and if it does come out in our life-time, who's to say that that it will be regulated right away where we live? It's hard to be optimistic, but I'm convinced there are procedures out there that can give us further results.
PS: Is anyone else here addicted to TV shows?
Similarities just keeps pouring In, Tv shows "all genres" / sports / Video games / Anime and any entertainment relative stuff you know it helps easing the tension.
Dermaflage didn't work well for me. Concerning doctors, I have pretty much had it with the best one's in America. They just can't fix acne scarring to an acceptable degree yet. Maybe if recell gets approved, it will be worth the trouble. I think at home procedures that work slower and are cheaper are the way to go. Dermastamps don't make you worse in my experience, but they will only help if you have good topicals and practice good all-around health. Your results do depend on your healing capabilities. Also I like TCA 15 - 20% from a reputable source. Maybe my scarring is just particularly stubborn, as it is not bad enough to get decent results through punch floats or excision (no doctor will risk it) and too wide for the dramatic 100% cross method. Yet too deep for lasers to work well on. Silicone and artefill fillers didn't work either. I had an honest doctor tell me to just live with it because he couldn't guarantee any sort of results and said he'd been trying with a patient worse off than me for some time and still couldn't give her good results. This was a very reputable doctor who had even been on TV.
So even though I say, learn to be happy with it, they have annoyed the heck out of me for the past 10 years and I was definitely not against seeking treatment. But I have learned to love myself despite scars and have a husband, child, and anything else someone non-scarred can have. It really doesn't limit you. Maybe if you want to be a model it would. My advice is learn to love yourself for reasons that have nothing to do with y our appearance. I still consider myself reasonably attractive despite scars. But I don't like myself because of my appearance, I like myself for how I treat others, talents, etc. You don't want to waste a decade of your life looking for treatments and being depressed the whole time.
