I started having acne when I was only 15 or 16 years old, in school days, people would stare at my face and tell me how bad my acne was and I should have done something more about it. I was suffering from acne vulgaris and I used to apply pexoxyl gel daily at night and take oral medications religiously. It didn't prevent the acne scar formations on my face. When I turned 21 I was scared of standing in front of the mirror and looking at my own face, it was such as awful and indescribable feeling.

I have tried multiple treatments to improve the appearance of my acne scars such as microdermabrasion, PRP, subcision, TCA, Chemical peel and laser but nothing worked for me. My scars are still as bad as they were before. I don't know what to do. I feel depressed because I work with people online and sometimes they ask me to come online but I won't go on cam with them thinking that they will hate me.... I dont do Facetime with my social friends for the same reason... Scars have shattered any confidence i ever had in myself as a human it's because wherever I go people ask me what happened to my face. Living with a scar is more difficult when you are a woman because you need to live by the society standards and look in a certain way to be accepted, if your skin is imperfect you get stared on.... I started hiding my face when I was a teenager and I still have to do it now... could life get any worse than this? I deserve to have a normal life and I have tried all the options, I don't know what to do more about them because I am broke.
