goin to uni with slight acne...

Hi,

I am going to university this year and still have slight scars on both cheeks, and get a few spots on the forehead every now and then. Now uni is a month away and i'm gonna live in halls of residence... i'm getting quite conscious about how i mite be.

I'm 18 years old, first got acne when was about 15 but was severe back then, now is just remains kind of, but i still have slight scarring and get spots every now and then.

Don't get me rong, coz i usually am a confident guy but my skin is the ONLY thing that makes me conscious around people.

Whats ur thoughts ppl???

I know lots of people at uni with acne. They aren't social lepers believe it or not. No one cars, and anyone who does, isn't worth knowing. Fact.

I've never really given it a thought. I guess no one realy cares. Of course nones wants acne. Use mouthwash. Its highly antibacterial. Just on the spots though ohterwise you will be toooo sticky.

Thanks for quick reply... just nervous bout it coz its like a new chapter in r lives. Its like i've never failed to attract female attention before, but lets not go in2 detail bout that. Its just i'm worried that when if a girl sees me the first fing she mite notice is that i still have slight acne - and that will prevent me being the confident lad i am deep inside.

I'm very happy wiv da way i look in terms of features and evryfin, its all goood. But just my skin! It affects me so much, and now i'm worrying that it will affect my chances wiv girls!!... EVEN IF they do like all of me (minus my skin). What you think???

Lol Shame
No ones gonna care.

Girls would probably find the fact that you love yourself more of a deterrent.

Very true.

There is also alcohol and football.
