Question

i have a lot of scars around my tummy area due to mosquito bites and bed bug bites. i also have stretch marks. my face is rough. i have occasional pimple break-outs and i have reddish cheeks. help! i'm only 15. how can i improve my skin?

Answer 1

Your skin should start to improve naturally soon, you’re only 15. Just don’t pick the spots or you’ll end up with scars!

But some Bio Oil to use on your scars, it’s amazing stuff! It’ll work on your stretch marks too – I used it on mine for 6 months and they’ve almost completely gone.

Other than that, learn to love yourself. There are always people worse off than you and remember what we see in the mirror is different to what everyone else sees. I bet it’s nowhere near as bad as you think.

Answer 2

Don't worry about it.  

Answer 3

wow you need a dermatologist and WASH YOUR BEDDING!! who gets bed bugs?!?! seriously!

Answer 4

ok well i don't really know what to say about the tummy area but the face..

i used to have acne (pretty badly) and i've still got reddish cheeks..

but i've managed to get my acne under control and it was incredibly easy.

i just went to the doctor and asked for some stuff for my skin..and got some specially prescribed stuff and trust me. it helps a lot!!

but because you've got scars, etc and other skin problems (like, not just on your face) i think you should just go to a dermatologist (skin doctor) and get them to give you some medication or cream.

Answer 5

Everyone's body is imperfect. Everyone gets pimples and everyone has mossie bites and scratches but everyone has a wonderful body if they can appreciate it. In my opinion most need more to improve self esteem than skin condition.

I suggest reading books such as;
