Information/Research
hi everyone. this is a little embarrassing for me but i’ve been having a crisis lately as i get more self conscious and obsessed with how my skin looks. i’ve always had mild acne, oily skin, and larger pores. however, in recent years, ive noticed it get significantly worse. I initially thought i just had huge af pores because it literally looks like there’s hundreds of holes in my face. but then i did some research and i believe what i have are ice pick scars. they’re all over my face and i even have one particular scar that’s SO huge and deep and visible under my mole on my right cheek. i’m just so insecure and embarassed i constantly feel like my face looks so weird compared to others. i’m only 19 and i guess im asking if you guys think it’s normal for my skin to look like this?? why do i never see anyone with skin like mine?? i don’t know what to do. i don’t have the time, money, or insurance for professional treatment right now but im sure these get worse with time. i just want to hide my face forever lol. i’d greatly appreciate any advice on what you think contributed to my skin looking like this or what i could potentially do to help. ill add some photos so u can see just how visible my scars are. I’m just so tired :/
