alright heres the deal. I'm not bragging, but let me start off by saying, I am not simply just good looking, I'm extremely handsome. I'm 18 and about to head off to college in a month. About a year and half ago I was hit with a case of acne that has really ****** me over. The acne is completely gone now, but initially this light red discoloration that was only around my chin and mouth area ( like in the shape of a goatee), was left there. It's getting better with time, but I am one of the most pale people you will ever see, so any blemish is noticeable. When my skin is clear, and white it looks perfect. I'm so sick and tired of wasting the last year or so being shy and lacking confidence. I am bitter because I know that I am extremely good looking, even with this problem, but I want to reach my full potential. I wanna have fun in college and not worry about blemishes and ****. Apparently this thing I have has a name (hyperpigmentation). I've seen my doc, but any other advice???????????

Recommend you see a dermatologist, if you haven't already. It will cost your parents a few hundred dollars, but sometimes they have a few more tricks and drugs in their arsenal. You might want to use something like "Proactive" on that area if you're paranoid about getting a breakout--I know at least one senior derm resident who swears by the stuff. I wouldn't be too angry about it all, as many other college kids will have the same problem....

Hi mr. extremely Handsome.
Well, you're already see your doc. So, I don't think we can help.
Sorry.
