15 and sick of my skin

Posted , 3 users are following.

so i’ve had skin problems for two years now, and at first it wasn’t bad. I had a few skin colored bumps on my forehead and thought it wouldn’t do any harm. WELL, now my forehead is covered in hyperpigmentation, a couple of small annoying pimples, and something new, small red marks? i’ve tried everything from cetaphil, face masks, skincare regimens, and fresh aloe gel. Its hard having sensitive combo skin. is there anyway to prevent/clear up my acne? I feel as if it’s effecting me emotionally, and I get weird looks at school.

    Hi you need to go and see your doctor if over the counter meds are not  helping your skin.  You might also need to see a specialist in skin diseases - a dermatologist and your doctor can refer you for that.

    Meanwhile whatever you do don't pick any spots,  marks etc. otherwise you run the risk of scarring your skin and having pits in it.  x
