I have been dealing with acne for almost 5 years, I'm so insecure about it, when I see all the girls with clear, nice, skin. I have recently started taking accutane, i'm supposed to do it for 6 moths, i'm on my 4th month now, my skin is also almost clear, and I feel more comfortable in it. All the bumps are gone but there is still red discoloration which still makes it look like I have acne. I really wish it would go away. I'm at school right now, and a couple hours ago, I was walking with my friend, we were talking to each other and having a good conversation. Then they brought up how much they hated masks and told me they've never seen me without my mask on. (I never take my mask off because that's where most of my acne was). I went out of my comfort zone to finally take my mask off hoping I would get a good response. But no, I got the worst response. They said, "You have way more acne on your face and around your mouth that I thought you did, no offence." Now see, that's one of the worst things you can tell a person with acne, even if they don't have it bad, it hurts to hear. I barely even responded to what he said, and I just walked away. After I thought about how they could even think about saying that to someone, like how would you feel if you were recovering from having cystic acne all over INCLUDING YOUR BODY. Now I just feel like going home and crying. I just want my mom and an acai bowl. :(

Most people just don't know how to be respectful and thoughtful. I'm sorry you had to go through that and I know how you feel. When I was a teenager, I also had really bad acne and got bullied for it. Although it's really hard, remember that you are a beautiful person and that it doesn't define you. You already made huge improvements with your skin, that's something you should be proud of!
ReplyHAH! 5 years? Ive had mine now for 8 years. Still have em ;) But if someone I knew said that I wouldve responded, “what, are you my mom? LOL jk! In few months you will be surprised by how many there are again 😏” I know it hurts because they are hitting your insecurity buttons but alot of humans are clueless and retarded about considering people’s conditions. So dont get super mad about em just think in your head, “what a retard 🙄” and move on. But Im letting you know, Ive read few cases where accutane helped people but after some time it came back. My hope is thats not case with you. Be strong!
ReplyHey there- I'm someone who has a lot of acne too. It started last September when I started going to school in-person, with a mask on. The mask gave me a lot of pimples on my cheeks. The first month was just a straight line of pimples, hidden by the top of my mask. By the second month, they were all over my cheeks. By the third month, They were on the sides of my face and a little on my chin. It really sucks, and I hate taking off my mask at lunch. I feel like people are judging me, because everyone only has like zero to three pimples on their faces. I also hate my pink scars that last almost forever!!! Try talking to your mom about going to a dermatologist or get a nurse practitioner to prescribe something for you. I went to the doctors a few days ago, and after I used the prescription treatment, my red bumps have already gotten better!
