Hey guys. Im about to turn 15 and Ive been suffering of "more intense" acne since this past year. I'm currently using benzoyl peroxide, aspirin masks, honey and aloe masks and cleansers and moisturizers obviously. And my diet is super healthy. However, i dont see major improvement and my psychological issues are getting worse.Im getting really depressed about my skin because i cant seem to find a permanent solution. I broke out on my chest too because of using sunscreen.
Ive got quite a few white heads on my face and im trying really hard not to pick.
But i feel like im wasting my time feeling the way i feel, but im so freaking tired of acne you cant even imagine. I really want to go out with people but my self esteem is low as hell, even more when it comes to meeting new people and with relationships when it comes to guys. I can't get the idea that people think my skin is disgusting out of my head, but the truth is the only one that pays so much attention to it is myself. That's why i almost always wear makeup to go outside (i use the vicky derma blend which is for acne prone skin)
The worst thing is that i dont have anyone to talk about this to. The only person i would have confidence talking to about self esteem issues is my mother, but i feel like she just wouldnt understand why i make a huge deal out if acne. A person that has never suffered it has no damn idea how it feels to wake up and not looking in the mirror because of the bad it would make you feel. Waking up and having clear skin has to feel so good.
I guess thats the thing of life. When i got over my social issues i started having body image issues. And when I got over those, i got acne. Its a continuous cycle of shit (lets keep it real)
I hope i get better, but it aint easy.
