about

I joined this site when I was very young (hence the ridiculous username) but now I feel I'mn old enough to give out advice.

Ask me anytime. I have had my fair shares of family issues, as well as good at solving relationship problems.

advice

I'm tired of having it. I'm starting to think it's a mental thing. If I think too hard about it, it gets worse. I don't know. I've tried tons of different soaps and face washes and moisturizes. I've tried sticking to a certain routine. I eat healthy and drink plenty of water. I try to get enough sleep. My mom acts like it's no big deal. All she says is 'you'll grow out of it.' I'm tired of waiting. Sometimes I just stay home instead of going out because my face is too bad. I CAN NOT go to the doctor. My mom thinks that is stupid. I've tried proactiv and all though high name things. I don't know what else to do.

What do you mean you "CAN NOT" go to a doctor. You're mother depriving you of such a thing is actually quite unfair.

How can you complain about your acne, if you are ruling out the most effective option?

Your mother would never know, your seventeen and old enough to go by yourself. Bring a friend if you're too embarrassed or something, but I guarantee you doctors have seen so much worse.

This really seems to be affecting you, but going to a doctor really is the best option.
What you tell you doctor is private, patient confiendiatlity. You're mother needn't know.

Normally I don't encourage lying to a someone in need of advice, however you not telling your mother you went to the doctors, isnt a bad lie. she shouldnt be that angry

There would be a small percentage your mother would find out (if you're mother's friend saw you for example, but even then you could have a friend with you , and you could say she needed to go to the doctors etc etc), and even though there would be a small chance of getting into trouble, at least you'd feel comfortable with yourself and your face.

However, if you feel, that you absoloutly can't go to a doctor have you tried "Freederm"?

My cousin, who had terrible acne - uses " Freederm". I found that really worked for her. In fact, when I had a few spots here and there, it was magic how fast it worked.

Show her how bad if effects you, I don't mean be a drama queen, but if she realises how anti social you become, and how much you wont go out that much, she'll change her mind

you have three options
1) Go to the doctors
2) Try Freederm
3)Suffer

Your choice

Hope I helped

(Rating: 3) Can't go to the doctor. Mom knows everything that goes on in my life. How would I pay without my mom knowing? It just wouldn't work. I guess I'll take option 3.
