People say that breakouts are a normal part of growing up. What a cop out. Breakouts are not something you should have to live with. It can leave scars on your face and body and do untold damage to your self-esteem. I had the worst skin and on top of it I had these annoying scars on my forehead from getting the chicken pox at only a few months old. It haunted me.

God forbid he saw what I really looked like. I tried everything-at least I thought I had- and decided to just accept my fate. Then I met someone. He asked me why I don't just fix it. I immediately defended myself with everything in my arsenal. His response was so simple it stopped me in my tracks- " Well, just stop touching your face and go see dermatologist. I'll book an appointment for you. She can also remove those scars. There is no need for you to live with them." I couldn't believe how simple he made it sound.
