  trying to hold off the inferior complex but everytime i see a ger and toks to her, i juz feel that she dun seem interested in toking to me cuz my face's kinda ugly.. is there reali such things as 'we dun mind abt looks'?
  
  And,do you think society in general discriminates against ppl hu lack the looks? come to think of it there are many jobs that only the 'presentable' are suitable..

  If you're letting that affect your self-confidence, of course you'll have a tough time.

  Who cares? If the girl not interested in knowing you means she's not worth it la...don't make yourself sound so desperate ok? Must have more confidence with what you are. Personality counts a lot too.

  waa....."old boys" out there, 22 is not old, but you feel old because your peers all had r/s before and you think "why am i the only one odd out?"
  
  anyway, seriously, first impression counts...sad to say..
  but if given a chance to communicate further, i think a gal will look beyond appearance.
  
  self confidence is the thing you are lacking buddy! Not Looks...
  Looks are born with, self confidence is built up..
  
  As the saying goes, there is always someone waiting for you, somewhere out there..
  
  lastly, be realistic too...dont just look and go after chio bus... save them for us...

  Hi, i am not going into any bullshit about personality or stuff like that even though it's the most important thing. Will a girl love a guy who has good skin but lousy personality?girls can answer this....i guess no, who likes a pretty bastard?
  
  But now your problem lies on your skin condition. Can you tell me it's because of pimples or pimple scars?
  
  Know your own medical condition first, before taking steps to treat
  
  Anyway, there are 2 conditions for acne,
  i)Acne Vulgaris - an inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous follicles (cause by propionobacteria, a bacteria that stays on your skin as normal skin commensal)
  - affects teenagers(common), rarely early or mid adult life
  - comedones[white(some say yellow colour) and black head] formation is the central abnormality of this disease.
  -mainly on the face
  - divided into mild, moderate and severe
  
  ii)Acne rosacea - chronic repalsing/remmiting facial disorder of unknown cause(might be due to instability of vasomotor or skin mites, yeah, mites!!demodex) typically affects fair skin people.
  - look out for chronic flushing triggered by alcohol, hot beverages, sunlight, changes in ambient temperature and spicy food preceding characteristic fix erythema (on nose, chin, cheeks, forhead), talengiectasia, papules and pustules.
  -look out for blepharitis (scaling and irritation at the base of the eyelashes), conjunctivitis
  - in middle age and commoner in women
  -in men, sabaceous gland hypertrophy of the nose can results in a disfiguring enlarged nose, rhinophyma
  
  ok, confusing? right, i hope yours is acne vulgaris because this will make things simple...did i say it affects young people? ok, straight away to treatment..which is more practical right?
  
  i) don't scratch your face because rupture of comedones will cause inflamations, draining of pus, the yellowish liquid, will cause scaring
  ii) deep facial washing will not cure the disease, although it cleeans dirt out
  iii) pat dry your face after washing, don't rub
  iv) drink more water
  
  now the important one:
  we can use the medication singly or combination..i think combined will be better, topical antibiotic + topical benzoyl peroxide, that's what i recommend
  
  i) we use antibiotic for treatment. Did i say first line treament also? Usually we use the roll on type one which you can get in pharmacy, tell the pharmacist you need the roll on clindamycin, tetracyclin or erytromycin. The brand name for the clindamycin is dalacin.
  
  ii) then try to find the anti acne facial product which contains benzoyl peroxide. start on with the benzoyl peroxide 2.5 %, if higher you might get irritation. increase the strength, 5 %, 10% if the lower one can't work. I think oxy can do the job....you know oxy? oxy 5? ring the bell? or just ask the pharmacist, they should know
  
  ii)can use azelaic acid, max 10mg/day, not more than 6 months
  
  iv)topical retinoids or retinoid-like agents, adapalene
  
  The above works for mild acne only. if things can't work, then it should be either moderate or severe acne. You have to find a doctor then.
  
  Consult a doctor first...you can't actually open a prescription for oral antibiotics, can you?
  
  Treatment for moderate acne involve using antibiotic, orally erythromycin with topical (means on the skin) benzoyl peroxide. Make sure the dose for oral antibiotic = the dose of the topical antibiotic. Usually doctor will combine oral antibiotic with the topical one (benzamycin gel = benzoyl peroxide plus topical erythromycin)
  
  Treatment for severe acne involves using synthetic retinoidisotretinoin (0.5 - 1 mg/kg/day for 16 weeks. Cannot try when you know that you or any of your family member has history of thrombo-embolism....erm...blocked blood vessels and dislodging of blocked materials that travels to another part of your organ, say brain.
  
  Hope this can help you to understand more of your condition.
  
  did i tell you about how to differentiate between mild, moderate and severe acne?
  mild - comedones (white and black head) on the face
  moderate - face, neck, shoulder, back
  severe - you can practically see big nodules and cyst, basically big pimples with pus
  
  Remember, try to consult your doctor if 1st line therapy (topical antibiotic and benzoyl peroxide) can't work.
  
  Thank you
  
  Good luck

  Can I quote a cliche (sp?): there are no ugly men, only lazy ones...?
  
  Seriously, bad skin can be treated, and the condition may change with age. You're still very young, so don't let your skin overshadow your confidence. What matters more is your personality - if you're generally a positive, sociable person who shows concern about others, I'm sure there will be people who will overlook your skin and be attracted to your personality.
