how do u know it’s going to be worse??!!!heritery disease??
i knew s.o who had the same problem;i mean a skin problem which affected her appearnce,she changed her Dr & she’s really better now…

I know this must be hard. I can’t even imagine having something like that happen. I’m very self conscious about my appearance as well.

Just be strong. Get all of the treatment you can for the disease. There are many products out there that can get rid of skin discoloration. Creams, gels…you can even get a chemical peel or microdermabrasion. Make-up is always a great option if you don’t have money for the other options at the moment. I’m very sorry this happened to you and I wish you the best! Stay strong.

what is the disease if you dont mind me asking because i have a skin disease “vitaligo” and people have been making jockes about it and slagging me for it so i got treatment and then halfway through i stopped it because i reallised i am happy being me and i dont want to change who i am. i have learned that the disease is just part of me and it is something special thatnot many people have. it is not life threatning but more unique, and it is ganetic(spelt rong i think) and getting rid of it i began to feel like i was trying to change my family

They are doing a lot with lasers now in that area. Diet is also a big issue with skin and hair and nails, etc. Wish I had an answer for you. Some people cover up areas with tats. That would be my last choice. The mineral make-up, s good quality, like Sheer Cover or Bare,etc. they work wonders for the face and some put it on other parts. That’s all I use now. That and a good skin product for my face and neck. I tried a lot of them. I have the one that really helped a lot, but after two years, I became allergic, so the search again for skin care. It is so important with the sun and the ozone and free radicals. Don’t mind spending if it works, that’s what the trials are for, to see if they work. You canalways send it back. Ofcourse, you cannot cover your whole body, but whatever is your comfort zone. It’s always something to put a wrench into the works! Mineral, they are best. Maybe they will come out with a larger size for larger body parts. There is so much technology out there, I would just keep on until I found the answer if itis that important. Goodluck

Actually I just re-read your initial post. You would be surprised who would want you. A lot of people are not so shallow, as one might think. Go about your business and get out there and live. Just think of all of the flaws that others have that might not be so visible at first, and then when you get to know them, you see the flaws. When people get to know you, they don’t even notice things like that. It is a part of you, and just accepted. I think you are more upset about it than others, and that is understandable, but you cannot let this rule your beautiful life! It takes some of us years to figure that out. Just go out there and have fun and live!

Everyone has some defect in appearence, dress, personality etc. It is time you found out who your real friends are. Confront all your friends with your flaw and test them as to who is your real friend. Maybe God wants you to go through this just to find out your real friends. Mean while get some professional help. Look around you so many people have so many issues start seeing the pain behind every one’s smile.

I agree with uddipaya, when i was younger i had shingle which left me with terrible scars over the left hand side of my face and reduction in sight in my left eye, when this first happened i didnt want to leave the house, i didnt want to be seen when i went out i covered up with a cap pulled down and i wouldnt let anyone see my face, it wasnt until i saw someone who i had known for many years who has a strawberry birthmark on their face i realised it doesn’t matter what you look like, it doesn’t matter who you spend your life with what matters is how you spend your life. Since realising this i have lived life to the full i have been scuba diving on turkey, i have stood on the top of niagra falls and i’ve tried to be myself and not care what people think, i’ve posed for photographs which i never liked doing and i started going out, had a hair cut and brought a whole new wardrobe, it wasnt until i was comfortable enought with myself to say, i dont give a f$%& what you think about me i am who i am that people started to see past the scars and see me for who i was. This happened 12 years ago and only in the last 3 years have a started to make a difference, i am now engaged to someone i love and who loves me i have a 2 year old son and friends who see me for the person i am not what i look like, i’ve met people who were embarassed to be seen with me and people who dont care, someone out there will see you for who you are, but dont look for it, it will happen when you least expect it. I hope this helps

If you can get this treated, then do so, and then begin to work on the inner you. You need to build confidence on who you are because your appearance doesn’t speak towards your character and strength.

When it really counts, an adult will see that the “clothes don’t make the man” and that teens care about what’s on the outside.

As your grandparents if they see the beauty of eachother shine from the inside and is reflect on the outside. They will tell you that it is the hardships and the support and the love and trust that builds the love, not the lustful ways of youth.

There is someone for you, but they are not going to come along and build you up when you are an emotional mess, even IF you were the most beautiful model on the earth… you want someone who enjoys you for you, and someone who will compliment your life, and you theirs. In order to do that, you need to be a strong individual who can shine among the face of adversity, and provide support and encouragement in a discouraging world.

You are alight, a gem and your beauty is far better than what you give yourself credit for. I know you don’t want to hear this, but some of the most blandish of woman and men, can be the most attractive, because the humbleness and humility they carry around in their hearts…
