I'm tired of being judged! As many answers as possible needed!?

Question

I need help and I don't want to sound as if I complaining.

I am a teen who is tired of being judged. I get called names just because of this. I have acne and it is taking over my life. It's just because its very prone on my chin, under my nose and my forehead. It looks like I have some obscene rash that just missed my cheeks. If you imagine it you will be horrified.

Most days I won't go to school because of it, but I'm fed up of it. It makes me feel like I can't live my life, and sometimes something as little as acne can make me burst out in tears and turn me into a nervous wreck.
People look at me and instantly judge! It's like I'm a weirdo or something but I'm not and I want people to understand!

What this question is really about is treatments. I need ones that work and have about a 80% + working. I need solutions and I need the best ones that ae guaranteed to work. I would also like something that works quick and will get to work right away.
It can be natural, chemical, cheap, expensive nit please help ms I'm sick of this life. I need as many solutions as possible.

I'm mostly prone to whiteheads and blackheads, but do get the occasional cystic acne.

Please help me with my search for solutions, I would be the most great full person ever. Xx

Answer 1

Sadly there is no fast cure for acne, I'm 23 and only just started getting it under control in the past 6 months.



You can try the over counter treatments like clean and clear etc but the most important thing to remember is you won't see results over night. You must keep using a product for weeks to see if it's really working for you. Also I wouldn't be tempted to buy into the "premium" brand products. I have done this, i purchased proactive, dermilogica and countless over high priced items. They contain the same ingredients as the cheaper products and work (or don't work) just the same.



I personally use cetaphil now. It's pretty cheap, lasts for ever and is kind on the skin.

You should also visit your doctor if it's really getting you down. The first time I went I was given some pills, cant remember what, and was on them for 3 months before being taken off, i noticed mild results. Still having acne years later I went back to a new doctor, she said you have to use the antibiotics for sometimes years. She gave me tetralysal which I take once a day and epiduo cream i use once at night. A few months after using these i no longer get acne, my skin is a little red sometimes but im much more confident.



The point is you don't have to put up with it, try a good cleanser and keep using it!, moisturize if needed and dry skin will just make your pores work harder to oil them resulting in more acne causing bacteria, but most importantly go and see your doctor! there are many treatments they can give you!



Finally I know it's hard to do but try not to pay attention to what others think (or what you think they think!) having acne made me really self aware. Every person you see seems to have perfect skin, believe me when I say 9/10 people you see don't care you have acne, the majority of people get it.

Anyway, go book a doctors appointment

This is a pretty complicated situation, and answering it completely is beyond the scope of this (or any!) response. But here are a few thoughts: Both you and your fiance's actions are *understandable*...I stress that because "understandable" does not always mean "right," especially in your case. Your affair with your ex was understandable because of the difficulties you were having due to your fiance's stress from work...but you essentially "kicked him when he was down," and in the worst way (with your ex). Now, he has severe trust issues with you - which is also understandable - but although someone who has an affair does have to undergo a tough, lengthy period of rebuilding trust, he shouldn't be treating you as if you were under house-arrest. This is the bottom line: the two of you need to sit down at a time when there is as little stress as possible and your minds are clear, and you need to figure out if you both still want to get married...that's the most critical question for you right now. If you still do, that's more than half the battle...but it means you absolutely MUST seek pre-marital and/or couples' counseling as soon as possible. The good news is, the difficulties and problems you are experiencing can definitely be beaten...but they are of such a strong degree that you will almost certainly need professional assistance in dealing with them. I wish you both the best of luck.

Answer 3

!. If your acne has reached the cystic stage, have the cysts drained.

2. Wash your face 2 x a day with a sulfur based soap.

3. Exercise 1 x day half an hour until sweat is dripping from your face and/or take a daily face sauna.

4. Expose your face 20 min per day to the sun or to UV lamp at correct distance and time.

5. In your diet avoid all spicy food and all kinds of chocolates. Eat more fiber.

Answer 4

I really empathise with you. You're at the time in your life where you want to attract girls, and to be like your peers, and you feel self-conscious.



Ask your doctor to refer you to a DERMATOLOGIST ((skin specialist at a hospital). You will probably be given antibiotics, in tablet and/or gel form. THERE IS NO QUICK FIX.



IF your acne is very bad, or doesn't respond to the usual treatment, you may be prescribed ROACCUTANE (ACCUTANE in the U.S.) Don't be scared off by any tales about it, or warnings of side-effects. I took it on 6 separate occasions, for 2 months each time. The results are AMAZING.

Answer 6

If you were deaf or blind, you wouldn't notice what other people think, right? So just go about your life without being concerned what others think (or what you THINK others think ;-)



"What this question is really about is treatments."



See a doctor. Don't waste time & money on online "treatments".
