Skin Issues
To quote my previous post in another forum:
"Im 17 and at college and recently have found myself with really low confidence in myself. Not so much low confidence in my abilities and stuff, i know i can do things, and do some of them well, but on a more social level.
Over the last year or so i have developed acne, not really severe, but bad enough, which ive been told has been brought on by my age. However hardly anyone else suffers from it, at least not anymore, and i find myself in a very small minority.
Im an alright person (he says modestly), i aint no saddo thas for sure, im just an average kinda guy, but this really knocks my confidence on nights out and when walking through a crowded common room at college.
Everyones prolly way ahead of me in reaching the fact of the women, which lets face it (excuse the pun), hardly find the thing one of the pleasures in life. I know i'll grow out of it, as did everyone else, but do people notice it as much as i think they do? Or is it just me thinking that as i see it every time i glimpse a reflection?"
Im sure others have experienced the same or know people who have, so does anyone have any advice? Ive tried numerous medications, tablets and cream etc from my GP and im on an 8 month (yes thats right, 8 months) waiting list to see a dermatologist who no doubt will tell me stuff i already know. It'd cost over a grand to go private which isn't really worth it, so anyone have any suggestions?
Ta, Regards,
