Q: Ok so i have acne. And the last two weeks i have done EVERYTHING that my mom has told me to do so that it would clear up. I wash my face 2 times a day and put cream on it like 2 or 3 times a day too after washing my face. And its not getting better. I keep bringing up to her about the dermatologist[sp?] and shes always like " well if you would listen to me you wouldnt have this problem" and shes seen me working my butt of just to make it go away. Does anyone have any tips to convince my mom to take me to a dermatologist becuase I really want my face to clear up before the start of school!! Anything to say to her at all will help


thanksssssssssss
promise to rate too!!:]♥
ohkay maybe the problem is your wahsing your face too much. i watched a talk show on this the other day, and they said people think they are helping themselves out when they wash their face alot when in fact they are making it worse. washing two times a day is plenty enough. when i feeel my face is getting bad i use noxzema continious clean foaming cleanser. it makes your face tingle which i always felt makes me feel its getting the job done. though thats not always the case OR an even better one is clearasil ultra deep pore treatment. ANY clearasil ultra products do good.

but anyways if you tired everything and it still not working. then have a serious conversation with your mom, not when she is shopping for food or cleaning wait til all eyes are on you and tell her why you want this A) your embarrassed B)you feel you've done everything.

also tell her what consequences (sp?) you've gotten out of this (idk how bad it is) but if poeple make fun of you, you have scars, or people look at you funny. things liek that.

also remind her the dermentoligist (sp?) is a professional and can let you know what to do and what not to do. she does it every day for a living and can help you better than the ideas that haven't worked so far.

one thing you dont want to do is get mad, yell, tell her everything she has said hasn't worked. people are more likely to talk to you when you are acting normal and calm/ mature. hope i helped you =)

thanks
