Answer 1

The "bacne" is actually a common problem for more people than you think.  You can wear a bathing suit.  If you are that self-conscious, do what I used to do, wear a t-shirt over the bathing suit.  Just make sure the shirt is about two sizes larger than you normally wear because when it gets wet it will get tighter.  But I still have "bacne" which the dermatologist said could be because of contact allergens (in which case until I find the cause it will continue) and I am learning to accept it as part of what makes me me so who cares if they see my imperfections?  

In terms of the acne wash, try a Neutrogena product designed for the body for use in the shower - Body Clear Body Wash.  But you probably need to see a dermatologist to find out if it's an allergy causing it.  

Worst case scenario, it's just from being a female.

Answer 2

if your out having fun, no one should care of what you look like, thats why they are your friends! try to wear a one piece, and maybe go but lounge around the pool because your "working on your tan". Dont worry!

Answer 3

wear bathers and a shirt, singlet or rash vest over the top. no-one cares what your wearing when your having fun...

Answer 4

1. wear your hair down so it covers your upper back

2. wear a t-shirt and say you don't wan to get sunburnt

3. don't care what they would think

4. wear a one piece

other options you can think of?

Answer 5

Wear a one piece so most of it won't show.  But friends are friends...they should care/look down on you for it.  If it really freaks you out wear a white shirt and say you don't want to get sun burned...
