Really Scared of My Acne!!is There Something Out There? Posted: 11-23-03 15:38pm
Hey hows everyone? This is my first time
being in this acne forum. Im
lildreamer..Im 17 years old and I have
mild/severe acne! Im from glendale,
california. I've always been a person
that is self-concious on my appearence.
Well I wear make up everyday whenever I go
out. I always have to have make up on.
The make up I use is really good and
covers all redness. Its m.A.C make up!
People say that they dont notice but I
know once I take off my make up its
really, really bad. I dont have color in
my face and im all red. When I put my
make up on and I look at the side of my
face that doesnt have any on..I get so
scared and so shocked at the huge
difference. The color of my bare face
scares me..I feel like crying. It looks
like some one beat the hell out off my
face!! Once I put my make up on I feel
better, but the fact that I know what it
looks like underneath it..I hate! My
friends tell me dont put make up on..It
makes it worst...The tell me to let my
pores breath. I know I should but I
just cant do it. I cant go to school w/o
make up. Its too embarrassing! Eveyday I
wash my face and take off my make up and
put creames on my face. Somrtimes it
works and sometimes it doesnt or just gets
worse. I dont know what to do. Why is my
skin color like this? I dont want to
have little scares when I get
older!!!!!!You know like poen pores that
you can spot!! Pleeze some advice!!! I
will deeply appreiciat it! Much love!!

Uh laser treatment......Thats a bit
over...Im mean its kool for the last
resort, but in my case its not for me.
What else is there? Everyone in my family
had acne when they were younger...Is that
the reason why I have it? They had
really, really bad acne and I dont want to
get at the stage they were. What are my
chances of not getting to the spot they
were at?

What I would do is go to a dermatologist.
Simply because if it runs in your family,
and you are afraid of it getting worse, I
would try to prevent it. It may be
easier to prevent, than to try to fix it
once it gets bad. As for the makeup
thing, as long as the foundation or cover
up that you use does not make it worse,
than wearing it wont hurt anything. The
right kind of makeup can actually help.
It keeps everyday pollutants from getting
into your pores and causing more pimples.
I hope this helps.
