Hello! My name is Olivia, and I am new to acne.org. I have a really bad obsession with having good skin, and it's very unhealthy. I'm constantly worrying, asking people if they can see anything, and it's very distracting. As soon as one pimple pops up, it's over. I pull out my entire arsenal of products. sheet masks, clay masks, exfoliatingscrub, tea tree oil, witch hazel, coconut oil, honey, DIY masks, moisturizer, cleanser, exfoliator, rose water and 4 tons of water. The worst part is, compared to others, I am dealing with nothing. So why am I so anxious? I hate how I have to check in the mirror or my phone every 5 minutes. I hate how no one else seems to care at all. I spend an hour a day searching up skin related things, which is a complete waste of my time. Everyone else thinks I'm paranoid, and I want to way to stop obsessing over my skin. Please help.
Do you have bad acne or are you just worried about getting acne? Either way it sounds like a mental issue and I don't think any of us are really gonna be able to help with that. You may want to try talking to a mental health professional, it kind of sounds like you're dealing with some sort of ocd behavior
