Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong but I'm new and i was having trouble figuring out where I'm supposed to post. So I guess I'll do it here. Slight PSA... I tend to have like run on sentences and stuff. Please just ignore it thanks :)

 

 

 

I'm a 15 year old girl and I have had acne as long as I can remember. My mom used to take me to the dermatologist when I was in like 3rd or 4th grade. My friends would ask where I was going and I'd be so embarrassed to even say.

 

My acne makes me look at my self differently and compare myself to everyone I see. I hate taking pictures and I hate just basically going outside and maybe it's stupid for me to feel like this because yes I'm only 15 but I can't help it. I look at myself and want to scream. Most days I want to hide under a bed and never come out.

 

Going to school is the worst. I wear makeup and that probably isn't helping me but I just don't want people seeing it. I don't want people looking at me without makeup on. I hate staying the night at friends house because when I wake up I feel like I can't show my face. I feel so ashamed like it's gross for me to have this.

 

I have acne scars and just regular acne and I just. It makes me feel so bad about myself. Like I can't look in the mirror withought wanting to punch it in.

 

I feel like I'm alone in this. All my friends have clear skin and I feel like I can't talk to them about it because they won't understand. I hate putting on make up in front of them.

 

I feel alone in this. Like no one not even my parents would understand and I just don't know what to do about it anymore.

Hello there, im going through something similar have had acne since the age of 15 ( 21 now) and it is frustrating. There has also been times where i would not go to school due to my acne. I still have moderate acne and scars left. The thing that has helped me is staying positive and focusing on other things then my acne. Hoe this helps in a way . Btw welcome to acne.org :)
