Q: Really Scared of My Acne!!is There Something Out There?

Hey hows everyone? This is my first time being in this acne forum. Im lildreamer..Im 17 years old and I have mild/severe acne! Im from glendale, california. I've always been a person that is self-concious on my appearence. Well I wear make up everyday whenever I go out. I always have to have make up on. The make up I use is really good and covers all redness. Its m.A.C make up! People say that they dont notice but I know once I take off my make up its really, really bad. I dont have color in my face and im all red. When I put my make up on and I look at the side of my face that doesnt have any on..I get so scared and so shocked at the huge difference. The color of my bare face scares me..I feel like crying. It looks like some one beat the hell out off my face!! Once I put my make up on I feel better, but the fact that I know what it looks like underneath it..I hate! My friends tell me dont put make up on..It makes it worst...The tell me to let my pores breath. I know I should but I just cant do it. I cant go to school w/o make up. Its too embarrassing! Eveyday I wash my face and take off my make up and put creames on my face. Somrtimes it works and sometimes it doesnt or just gets worse. I dont know what to do. Why is my skin color like this? I dont want to have little scares when I get older!!!!!!You know like poen pores that you can spot!! Pleeze some advice!!! I will deeply appreiciat it! Much love!!

Is That the Only Way!
Uh laser treatment......Thats a bit over...Im mean its kool for the last resort, but in my case its not for me. What else is there? Everyone in my family had acne when they were younger...Is that the reason why I have it? They had really, really bad acne and I dont want to get at the stage they were. What are my chances of not getting to the spot they were at?

What I would do is go to a dermatologist. Simply because if it runs in your family, and you are afraid of it getting worse, I would try to prevent it. It may be easier to prevent, than to try to fix it once it gets bad. As for the makeup thing, as long as the foundation or cover up that you use does not make it worse, than wearing it wont hurt anything. The right kind of makeup can actually help. It keeps everyday pollutants from getting into your pores and causing more pimples. I hope this helps.
