Answer 2

I have red marks on my cheeks, i am really self conscious about them. I always wear makeup when going out of the house. Also use a fading serum to eventually get rid of them. Also have had BHA peel with great results, even though it was painful and the peeling afterwards was disgusting. But I also think that I should give myself more of a break; the media has made us all think we should have flawless, poreless skin that looks like porcelain. In the real world, we all have different skin and it isn't perfect. I often look around at people and notice their skin and their imperfections, and it makes me feel more accepting of my own flaws.  

Answer 3

I'm 16+ and suffer from a case of mild acne problems. They never fail to come every month and when they do, they'll be red and swollen (itchy at times) and when they are finally gone they'll leave a mark. I don't use make up though, I don't like painting my face... They'll heal as I allow my skin to heal naturally. I drink plenty of water and keep my face hydrated always.

Answer 4

well basically it sucks.

I still get spots now, but i have lots of scars on my chin, the ones on my head have gone now. I really hate it, in school i feel depressed and sometimes i feel like i carnt be myself. It feels like nobody understands but it does help to talk about it. I have sat in my room crying at times, punching myself, hating myself, wishing i was dead. Alot of people go threw it and most people say 'just deal with it because almost every1 has them' but everybody is different and it affects people in different ways. Some people aren't bothered yet some people (me) take it really badly. I see people looking at me and talking about me all the time. It makes me very paranoid and overall i just hate it. I would give anything just to have clear skin, even though it seems like nobody else has them, people do, and i know it sounds bad but it helps when your friends do because they know how you feel. But even if they got spots its only like 1 or 2. It sucks, i carnt go camping with my m8s because i feel they will only get worse and i wont be putting my usuall facial cleanser on them. I carnt go to sleepovers because it makes them worse and i carnt pick at it if it needs because i will get to embarised. I hate going swimming with my friends because my face dries up after coming out of the swimming pool. Im a good footballer but jus not confident enough any more because of them, overall it completely sucks, my childhood would be so much better without them. (and i know its my choice not to do all them stuff, its jus it makes my skin worse) and i have had lots of days of school because of it all. They say stress makes it worse (in my opinion it does) but how can u not be depressed with a spotty face. So its just one big cycle. Anyway yer it sucks completely and ruins ur childhood. Also im a boy so i carnt wear makeup :(

Answer 6

I haven't got scars from acne, but I've got scars from eczema. I know it's a complete bummer having things that people can see all the time, but tbh I've begun not caring. If people notice the scars, then let them look, who cares?

But Bio-Oil is really good if you want to try to get rid of them :)

Don't be ashamed, it's just a part of you. Everyone has flaws, you just need to overcome that and work what you've got.
