I'm doing 19 things
Are there any other Asian/Asian American or hapas out there struggling with this horrible condition? I’m pretty sure I have inherited it from my mother’s side (who is Asian). My acne is severe and is scarring my skin (I don’t mean red marks, I mean real scars that are indented and irreversible) and this causes me to get quite depressed. I try not to look in the mirror these days. I have to wear make-up (non-comedogenic of course)whereever I go because I am so self-conscious about it. I’ve seen dermatologists before but I can’t see one right now because I have no health insurance so I’m stuck experimenting with what I can afford, which is basically just OTC products but have seen no improvement with that. I also try to watch my diet by avoiding dairy, sugar, and fried foods although that’s nearly impossible since that’s basically the typical American diet. Can anyone relate to this?

I hate society. I hate that I feel the need to be attractive. I wish I could accept myself the way I am, instead I’m way too concerned with everyone else’s opinion.
