Don't hide yourself honey. Plua the oils from your hair aren't helping any.
I wish that first summer, instead of hiding away, you'd have spent time in the sun. The sun is the best acne healer in the world. When I'd break out, I'd hit the heatlamp (in the winter) and I'd bake myself in the summer. The acne went away and I looked great! I do understand how serious your type of acne is. My cousin had your condition. Eventually, she grew out of it and had lazer surgery to help rid the scars.
Unfortunately for some people, especially boys, this acne can be brutal.

Thing is, just be you. Don't hide yourself. There is more to love about you then your acne problem. And guess what. Girls fall in love with boys with acne. We can actually see thru it.
