In the past couple of weeks my acne has been brought up in conversation a few times by my family because I had a big breakout on my forehead. It has cleared up well now and I'm back to just suffering from mild-moderate acne.

However, every time my acne is brought up in conversation around my Dad, he says "You want to get out in the sun, it'll dry it 'em up". I've told him several times that it does nothing and that it is a myth, and if he did a simple Google search he would be proved wrong. But he always says "when I was your age and I went abroad (to somewhere sunny), it cleared up". And so he won't budge. He acts and talks as though it's my fault. He just doesn't understand that it is out of my control. Whenever he talks about it now, I just ignore him but it still gets to me.

There's nothing that annoys me more than someone saying "Oh just do this..." followed by something simple, to clear up your spots. Don't you think I've tried everything!

This is just something I wanted to get off my chest, however thoughts on the topic are more than welcomed.
