Acne And Adult Acne (Rosacea), What Is Wrong With Me?
When my friend Sid was small he used to get pimples. His brothers used to get acne pimples as well but they were lucky because their acne used to disappear quickly. He was the unlucky one because he used to get a new one almost every other day....

Can Acne Affect Your Social Life?
You know how when you're a kid and your mom and dad always told
you that its not what's on the outside that matters, its what's
on the inside? Well in my opinion that is far from being the
whole truth and closer to being a half-truth...if not almost
false.
Acne has played a significant role in my teenage life (not so
much in my twenties). Now you know deep down inside that they
way you look affects how people react to you and act towards
you. This is not only true in purely social situations, but also
in business and in any other activity with other people.
Imagine yourself as a handsome, well built, young man(or woman).
You are walking in the mall browsing at different items, and you
happen to see someone attractive of the opposite sex. She/he
sees you looking and you both exchange glances...
Now after this scenario, how do you feel? Well if you imagined
yourself as stunningly good looking, you probably feel pretty
good about yourself and you may even want to ask them out.
The reality is, however, that most of us don't live in that
world. I know I sure didn't when I had acne.
You see, I had bodily acne, which covered my back, and my arms.
I was lucky enough to have very little facial acne. However, the
acne on my arms was pretty severe to say the least. It ran down
my arms all the way to the wrist. I thought it looked horrific.
You see I know that people judge you differently based on how
you look. How do I know? Well I did a little test when I was in
high school. And those who have been in high school recently, or
are currently in high school, know that this is the best
place
to find out what people REALLY think about you. They are
brutally honest and sometimes downright mean.
Well my experiment consisted of buying a few long sleeved
shirts. I would wear these shirts, and talk casually with people
of the opposite sex...with some seeming quite interested in me.
Then one day I would approach these same women, except this time
I would be wearing a short sleeved shirt, revealing my acne
filled arms. Now if what really mattered was what was on the
inside, then this shouldn't have been a problem...
...but it was. They treated me differently, very differently. Of
course they said hi, but once they saw the acne they were more
or less not interested. Now of course this was a harsh lesson to
learn...and it led me to do a lot more stupid things (which I'm
sure I'll be sharing later on in my blog).
The point is that acne can change the way people see you and in
turn can position you for failure without anyone even knowing
your true potential.
I am here to say that it doesn't have to be that way. There are
cures for acne out there. I believe that everyone who suffers
from acne CAN cure it. The only problem is finding a solution
that works. For me it was using natural acne cures that I found
online.
My blog contains/will contain much information on this, and also
some personal stories of my own. I hope to see you all there!
