Need to see a dermatologist, but away at college
I recently came across your advice columns, and within a few minutes, they already started uplifting me!
I have butt acne. I haven't had anything even like this before, it just started a year ago. I rarely even get a pimple on my face! (Lucky me, right?) I know I should probably see a dermatologist about this, but I can't afford one on my college student budget. I've approached my parents about seeing a doctor or a dentist on past occasions, and they blow me off entirely because they don't think it's worth spending the money if it's not life threatening, like when I wanted birth control, or when my throat was extremely sore, or when I noticed my wisdom teeth were growing in. If I tell them I have body acne, they're just going to give me a hard time and tell me they spend enough money on me already as they have told me on the past instances provided. I've browsed the over-the-counter market and tried everything under 50 bucks. I've heard great things about the zeno that burns off zits, but I just can't afford that either. It's extremely embarrassing. What should I do!?

Well, any kind of acne is not that big of a deal. I have a bad case of acne on my back.I suggest something like Nature's Cure. Its a pill system and a topical treatment. It works pretty good and its an over the counter treatment. Its pretty cheap to. Only like I think about maybe 30 bucks at the most. I used it and it helped a lot. Even the birth control pill will help a lot. Dont expect immediate results with anything you use. At least give any kind of treatment you use 2 weeks until you give up on it. Any kind of treatment that will work on your face will work on your behind. Just you have to let your but breath when you put any kind of cream on it. Just lay down like on a couch on your stomach and wait until the cream you are using dries. Do this for about two weeks and you should start seeing results. Also wear baggier pants so sweat doesn't attract so easily. That could help to.
