I am going on a field trip tomorrow with my fellow freshman classmates and I'm a bit self concious about something. You see, we are going to a theme Park (Dorney Park... It's in NJ. Sort of like 6 Flags) anyway, they have a water park and I am going to be wearing a bikini. I'm a bit self concious about my back. I have a few pimples on my back- not big ones but they are very red and noticeable. My hair since it is long covers up a few of the pimples but I'm still a little nervous about going out in public like that. I've always been covered. I've tried a few acne medications on my back and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a way of covering them more or helping me so that I am not as self concious about it? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm sure everyone there was having too much of a blast to even WORRY about you or think "OMG, your back." blahblahblah.
But if this is not the case, for future reference, I suggest that you just Neutrogena Body Scrub because it really exfloiates and clears up your skin with those little beads and makes it all soft and nice.
Also, I would even consider using acne medicine on your back, (but first, I would go see a doctor). I know friends who have tried it and it was successful.
So any acne medicine (Clean&Clear) or whatever brand you like would work. :)
GOODLUCK LOVELY!
If you have any more questions or need follow up advice, please by all means feel free to ask me.

If you really feel that self conscious I'd say maybe wear a little tank top on top. My friend has the same problem and we were at Dorney on Monday for a class trip, and she just wore a small little tank top on top and she looked fine. Maybe a cute pair of shorts would work to. Unless you feel confident no one will see, I think that's a good choice. I'm sure you'll think of something [ alittleironicx's advice column | Ask alittleironicx A Question ]
