I don’t know what was worse about acne: the acne itself or the scars they left behind on my face. You can’t hide your face in public like you can any other part of your body. It’s just out there, and obviously when you meet people, the first thing they will notice is what you look like. Needless to say, my acne scars have made me very self conscious. I thought that as soon as my zits were gone I would have all the self confidence in the world. That was before I realized that when the acne left, the scars would stay. Not only that, I still have to deal with zits. I just wish I was one of the lucky people whose acne doesn’t leave behind any reminders.
So far I haven’t cared enough to see a dermatologist about the scars because I know that the treatments available today are very pricey. I’ve just been experimenting with some creams I’ve found online, and while some seem to make the scars fade a little, I’m worried they’re here forever. Hopefully with enough time and effort I’ll be able to see some good results out of these products and I won’t have to be embarrassed about acne scars ever again.
