Hi, I'm an 18-year-old girl. I have had acne for almost 7 years and it is quite severe. I've tried everything has no effect. My face is full of holes and scars, and I can't stop squeezing them. Here is my biggest problem - I am self-defeating. I just can't control myself. I tell myself I won't do it again, but the next day the same thing. After each squeeze I cry and go crazy. I literally throw things away, argue with my mom, accuse her of not learning to pick them up, and finally I start to feel sorry for myself and promise both my mom and myself that it won't happen again. This does not happen every day, but still quite often. I go to private biology and chemistry I want to apply medicine. I chose the profession (doctor) myself, but at the moment I wonder if this profession is for me. I am a very good student, my grades are excellent compared to that I study in the most elite school in the city. I have to study something every day, I don't have time for anything else. I don't have a boyfriend, I've never had one. I am familiar with the feeling of loving but I also want to be loved. But with that ugly face, it looks difficult. So do you think this self-harm is a disease How can I overcome it? What to do with my acne? Thank you in advance!!!

Have you seen a dermatologist? He can most accurately prescribe creams, cleansing lotions, diet, etc. I have a little acne, but quite mild. 1 month ago the dermatologist prescribed me treatment and I can already see results - it has decreased, almost disappeared. The situation is very bad with the scars. The treatment is difficult, expensive and you should not expect any magical results. They may fade and smooth out and not be conspicuous, but once affected, your skin will not become like a baby's again. I recently did a stupid thing - I had a pimple, which I pierced with a needle and squeezed for days until the pus cleared. In the end, I was left with a scar. Thank God it is small and because it is fresh (a few weeks old), I started applying a scar removal cream (Kontraktubeks) and in a week I can already see the effect. Fortunately, I seem to be able to erase it, but I will not repeat such nonsense again. Now I have a pimple again and I went to the beautician to pierce and clean it, and the next few evenings I put Ichthyol and a patch on top. The purpose of this medicine (black, but smells like oil) is to remove pus and lymph without squeezing and it really has an effect - for 2 nights almost nothing is left. I'm very happy with this method - you have to be a little more patient, but it's worth it, believe me. Try not to squeeze the smaller pimples, or if you can't stand it that much - with washed hands, disinfected skin and best after a hot shower when your pores are open. And do not squeeze too much - only 1-2 times, enough to remove the main. Go to the doctor, really, it helped me a lot. and the next few evenings I put Ichthyol and a patch on top of it.

You are not sick (in the physical sense of the word), but you have a psychological problem. Talk to your mother about the problem and visit a psychologist. Little by little you will get rid of this problem. As for medicine - for me better than this profession - no. Not for the money. Your daily life is yet to change, don't worry. You will not always rely on textbooks, you will have time for other things. And you will love and they will love you. The face has nothing to do with love when it is real.
Darling, I sympathize with you. Indeed, acne is a very nasty thing! I suggest you buy some gels, ointments to wash your face every day. He makes clay masks. Search the internet for ways to get rid of acne, there are many topics for it! Good luck!
See a doctor for acne. The other - can not be treated with a laser or any cosmetic procedures? Have you been to a beautician? To a dermatologist? One year or another, it will disappear or decrease. The scars can then be treated with a laser. At all, things will get better, don't worry. For your profession, choose one that you will be happy to work.
Wait a minute, you start with whether you are sick, you go through family problems, you go through the topic of school, success and love. A bit of a wrong topic, but anyway. For a start, visit a dermatologist. In my opinion, it can be something hormonal, also visit a beautician every 3/4 months to clean the face. She also has darsonval, which causes facial sores to heal and leave no scars. Make masks with health cream and clean your face with rose water every morning and evening, if you feel it dirty, maybe during the day, because now it's summer, sweat, it's dusty outside and it all goes in the face.
You have some hormonal problems, for sure. Visit an endocrinologist. You do not share whether you have a regular cycle and how it affects your skin condition and mood. Most likely elevated estrogen levels and correspondingly low progesterone levels. It may also be from the thyroid gland. In my opinion, to cope, start some calming techniques - meditation, yoga, teas and more. Apparently you have daily stress, which strongly mixes your hormonal setting, and hence your nervous problems. Regarding self-harm - since you are obviously not a stupid person, check on the net what the reasons are and you can overcome it yourself. Learn to love yourself and stop associating physical pain and suffering with happiness on a subconscious level.
Self-harm is a problem, most likely a mild form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and as you describe yourself as a good student - it is even more likely to be. In my opinion, awareness will help you deal with self-harm (as a start you can read about obsessive-compulsive disorder and its various manifestations). Medicine sounds like a very good direction to you, because you pay attention to detail, you are sensitive, but you are also serious enough and grounded enough to be able to perceive more difficult matter. ps I'm sorry it's in English, but when I wrote OCD, it popped up most easily on Google: http://www.ocdsymptoms.co.uk/what-do-if-ocd-leads-selfharm.html
Try to apply vinegar, then do not wash with soap, but only with water, do not touch your face at all! This will significantly reduce your acne, but not completely eliminate it. In order to completely eliminate it, you have to be examined in great detail, unfortunately in Bulgaria this is very difficult, because you will be hung from doctor to doctor while your health insurance bill is drained.
