Acne has made me really depressed?!


Question: Acne has made me really depressed!?
Well, I started getting acne when I was 9 years old!. I remember because I had these 3 nasty zits on my face and some other girl pointed them out to everyone and said how gross they were!. I have since had terrible self esteem!. I'm 16 now!.
Its something that I keep as hidden from everyone else as much as I can!. All my friends and the people at school see me as perky and preppy but they have no idea that I sleep almost constanly, refuse to go out without makeup, and go through periods of extreme depression (I do see a therapist)
My biggest problem is that I have never had a boyfriend, been kissed, or even been asked out!. There is this one guy friend of mine that I really like a ton but I hardly even allow myself to see him at school because of my low body image!. People tell me all the time how pretty I am but I know that my skin distracts so much from my actual features that no one really thinks I'm attractive!. I feel like if he sees me enough he will think I'm gross!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh hon, that's terrible! I feel for you, I really do! The best way I can think of to get rid of acne is to go see a skin doctor!. They can do tests on your skin and stuff to see which treatment will be the most effective for you!. Then stay on that treatment as long as needed and then keep washing your face regularly!. The doc can even see if your face is allergic to some of the make-up you wear and tell you to stop using it!.

Another thing to do is to get this laser treatment that will rid your face of acne for the time being and sometimes prevent future breakouts!. It is a very effective method!. Then you can get ahead of the acne and keep your face so clean it won't hardly come back!.

If you can't afford stuff like this then just try a lot of different products at the store!. Not all at once and give them time to work before you give up on them!. Narrow it down to the one that works best and keep using it!. ( if you use one at a time then it is most effective to see which one works best)!.

I hope this helps and that you get kissed soon!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should try going to a skin doctor! They can give you facial creams that clears up acne scars and acne under the skin! That would probably help with your self esteem! I use the cream and it really works, but you have to get it from a skin doctor!Www@Answer-Health@Com
