Is it true that acne looks worse to the sufferer???

Yep, I guess it's true. My ex bf had really bad acne and he felt ugly and anti-social. I never thought it was that bad though...pimples here and there - to me he looked just fine.

Cool, thanks that makes me feel a bit better!!!
You said that ur bf had really bad acne but you didn't think it was that bad???
I used to have bad acne, but i found that applying a bakingsoda+water mixture to my face, then washing that off, then vinegar, then washing that off, made it almost disappear within a week.

Death is like sex in highschool, because if you knew how many times you missed it, you'd be paralyzed.
are you being serious?!?!? how much do you use???Originally Posted by moeburn
Yeah, I think it does. If you stand there looking at it in the mirror, you're looking at the acne, not you. Although it can really get you down @ times, look around. Loads of people are naturally butt-ugly and that's permenent. Acne usually, however, isn't.
If you're looking to solve it, go to the doctor's, tell them it's runing you life and they'll put you on antibiotics. Then, go out and buy some 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel (although most doctors will give it to you for free). Remember, use this in moderation to start and then build up.
2 weeks ago, I had bloody awful acne and now I have about 2 spots. I expect to have no spots in 2 weeks time.
Good luck!
Oh, and by the way, acne.org (I know it's embarassing) has some great resources for you.
Can you give me some info about the baking soda + water. how much do you use and how to apply and how long do you keep it on your face before washing off??? how bad was your acne???
Thanks
Thanks jimbob!!!
that's because you're seeing yourself in the mirror everyday. however if it were bad, i would tell you straight to your face that you look like a pizza face.

...this is just my perspective on the situation...
A lot of whether or not your acne looks worse to you than to other people depends on how bad your acne is and who you're around. Drinking a lot of water really helps, though.
Wash your face a lot. I used to have it a bit and every time I would be near a bathroom, I'd wash my hands, run cool water over my face and then pat it dry with a paper towel. I noticed a significant different in less than a week. I'm not saying this will work for you but it helped me.
Blackrose have you got any pics? Your avatar keeps maing me think thats you.
