cure for acne

Acne is a problem for everyone. First
because it is difficult to accept it; and second
because you have to figth against this skin disorder and social beauty parameters too. However
everything goes worst when a young girl or boy suffers acne
since classmates are cuel and do not watch themselves.

Something similar happened to Chelsea Fahey a girl who had always been celebrated for her looks
since she was a child model and won more than 10 beauty pageant titles
eventually going on win the Miss Teen America 2004 crown.

Her nigthmare began in seventh grade
when she fought an embarrassing battle against severe acne. “I would hide my face with my hair
and I would look down so I wouldn't see people's reactions and I wouldn't have to deal with the pain of seeing people wincing”
remembers Chelsea
who is now 18.

Acne affects personality and emotions of people. Although it is a common problem
it devastates even who are stronger. According to the Academy of Dermatology
almost every teen aged 12 to 17 will suffer from some form of acne
but 40 per cent of those will develop severe acne. They will not get pimples; they will get cysts that can cause scarring and emotional devastation.

“I didn't make very many friends
not wanting to date anyone. I didn't want anyone to touch my face
not looking in mirrors. It was really sad”
tells Chelsea.

She even covered all the mirrors in her house
so she could not see herself. Chelsea tried everything in treatment and medication
such as pills
creams
different face washes
medicated makeup
but nothing seemed to work.

Chelsea refused to talk about the problem
even to her mother. She thought that if she talked about it
she was admitting that she had a problem. And she didn't want to have any more problems than any normal teenager has.

Under Chelsea's mother point of view
she seemed to be fighting a losing battle and retreated further into herself
but the first and main thing Chelsea got to do
it was to admit that she had a problem.
