Try not to worry... It sounds as though your acne is quite mild in nature. Just follow a simple regimen and try not to fret too much... You're working yourself up over something that may not be much at all... Good luck...

My acne is well controlled (though not as controlled as I would like it). I get on average 2-3 small pimples a month that tend to go away in a few days. I also almost always have 1-2 clogged pores on the chin area. I see many people walking around with clogged pores and a couple of pimples, and it doesn't seem to bother them. It bothers me, and I don't understand why. Is having a few pimples a month normal? Does that even constitute as having an acne problem? Is it even worth fretting about? Pardon the seemingly asinine questions, I'm trying to figure out if I've developed an anxiety problem over this that needs to be addressed.

I don't think the issue is the current state of your skin. If you had really bad acne BEFORE treatment, then you may have developed a fear of going back to that dark time. When my acne was moderate in 2001 i did accutane with great success. Since that time, even when my acne had gotten better, i live in constant fear of it getting worse (which it now has). My only suggestion is ti limit your mirror time and take it one day at a time
