Hi, I’m 18 and have serious issues about my appearance. I tried a lot of things to be more confident, but every time I find something else on my body that I want to change. I have an overall good looking face but I hate my bottom half. I look like a baby, I have a lot of fat on my jawline and a slightly receding chin. A lot of times I feel really ugly because of this. I think that my weak chin is giving out the information that my personality is weak also. I think I will go and have a plastic surgery when I’ll have enough money. But I am concerned that if I’ll do that it won’t fix my problems with my confidence. Because now if I forget about my chin for a few days, I find something else that bothers me. I have mild acne on my face and back and it’s pissing me off. They leave horrible scars because I have a very light skin. And then I worry about my red face (I blush a lot for no reason).
I used to worry about my body too, but I finally love my body now. I came to my senses that I’m very slim and well build. I want to come to my senses about my face also, but here it gets complicated. I can’t help myself. I even never had a boyfriend, because I’m so concerned about my face. I stopped buying magazines where beautiful women appear, so that I don’t get reminded how weird I look. And I know where the problem lays, when I was a kid I used to get teased a lot and called ugly. I want to get over this. If you have any advice, please share,or if you have similar problems, tell me how you cope with it.
Thanks!

I have some acne scars and I am going to have laser treatment. But I am scared. I don’t know how good are going to be the results and I don’t know how I can find a doctor that I can trust my face.

Did anyone of you had that treatment? If yes did it bring you any noticeable results? Was it worth it? Did it hurt a lot?

I have acne scars and I cannot go out the house without putting concealer on. The cream dries very quickly, is it OK to put concealer on over it? Should I use a mineral concealer?

I am 34 years old. I am not scarred. I’ve heard the same message touted for years that picking or squeezing pimples causes scarring. I have always popped my pimples because the pressure becomes too painful to bear otherwise.

I wonder if those people that say not to squeeze or pop pimples have ever actually felt the pain.
Has anybody actually done research on why people with acne scar?
I also like to use hydrogen peroxide on my face or back after relieving the pressure. It helps my skin to heal faster.

I have been suffering from acne for a long time. Not just little whiteheads that go away. I consistently get cystic (under the skin pustules that get swollen and red) acne and they have left really bad scars and I am really self conscious about it. I eat pretty healthy and I exercise and I am wondering about Isotretinoin (Accutane). If you think its worth it? Experiences?
