I'm really not sure whether I should take professional medical action on my skin... I have pimples on my forehead, chin and redness on inner cheeks.
My skin has gotten worse than its been recently and I'm feeling the psychological effects -- it makes me shy and incommunicative and I literally can't make eye contact with anyone. ergh college and insecurities equals social recluse. feel crap. I don't know if it's bad enough to see a derm and hate the idea of chemical treatments because my skin is hella sensitive.
(It started when I was thirteen and is now the worst at 16). whEn Will iT eNd??

If it bothers YOU, then yeah, go check out a dermatologist!

By the way, I got through college with acne and found people still loved me pimples and all 🙂

If it is affecting different aspects of your life - yes, go see a derm. It is arealproblem for you and you shouldn't be concerned about whether it's not severe or "as bad as" someone else's.
