I understand exactly how you feel. I had very bad acne as a teen and young adult and even today...at 59, when I look in the mirror, I don't enjoy what I see looking back...all I see are scars.
But, when I look back, I can honestly say that somehow, I dated and later married girls (only one marriage) that most guys would say: "How the heck did he get her?" When people say looks aren't everything, it's true...and I know that's not what you want to hear...I didn't either as I didn't feel it solved my problem. But, it was me that had the problem...not my dates or my wife.
Get some makeup and/or try some of the treatments that are mentioned above...anything that helps will help make you feel better. But, when you're at the stage of a relationship that this is turning into a problem (and believe me, if he hasn't seen you nude with the lights on, then he knows there's a problem too) you need to just sit down and come out with it. If he's really making love to you ( vs. you just having sex) then he won't care.

Hi, my niece was born with a really dark "port wine" birth mark which covered her right shoulder & chest.
This didn't bother her until she was in her teens & while searching through ebay I noticed some sample sizes of a product called "DERMABLEND" I ordered several different shades & she was so happy when she applied them. They covered up her dark red birth mark & the dermablend was also waterproof, so this really boosted her confidence as she could go swimming - something she avoided, as she was so concious that others were looking at her. (You just use soap & water to remove it).
The Dermablend, was a God send & it gave her the confidence to start living again, rather than covering up her body & becoming a recluse.
She also met a lovely lad who, was amazed that she had let this rule her life for so many years. When she finally revealed the birthmark he told her it was fine & that she didn't need make up. She now only wears dermablend on special occasions & she's amazed that it ruled her life for so long.
Please try it - you'll be so happy with the results & it'll make you feel 100% more confident with your man.

I am sorry to hear of this. But if your boyfriend loves you as you say then he will not mind. Please try to be confident and take things in a slower pace. I am sure there are products on the market that will cover up your marks. But unless you use on a permanent basis you will forever have this problem. I feel truly sorry for you & I hop[e things will improve in the future. Kindness will help to restore your confidence

It sounds like you might have stretch marks - cocoa butter cream can help this (try Palmers), or in places like Boots and Superdrug you can buy special stretch mark reducing cream, it's usually aimed at pregnant ladies.
Tips on reducing stretch marks:
* STEP 1: Brush your skin with a loofah or skin brush when you shower to stimulate circulation.
* STEP 2: Massage cocoa butter into the stretch marks.
* STEP 3: Use vitamin E oil on your stretch marks. Massage it into your skin after a shower.
* STEP 4: Talk to your doctor about using tretinoin cream on stretch marks. It is available by prescription only.
* STEP 5: Eat foods high in vitamins A, E and C (see Related eHows), or take supplements in addition to your diet. However, pregnant women should avoid taking more than 25,000 IU of vitamin A.
* STEP 6: Add foods or supplements to your diet that are high in zinc (see Related eHow), which is good for the skin, and silica (beets, brown rice, bell peppers, soybeans, leafy green vegetables and whole grains), which helps form collagen, the supporting fibers in the skin.
* STEP 7: Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids, which help make cell walls. Essential fatty acids can be found in many vegetables, vegetable oils and fish oils.

you have a few options. you could dress up for him. that way you dont have to take your clothes off or you could try using a self tan cream to see if it evens out any blemishes. i dont think you should use make up to cover it up because it'll just rub off eventually. in all honesty i dont think he would care if he saw it, he will have other things to look at and if he really likes you then it wouldnt matter. i think you should just go with the flow and not let this ruin your life. you have to learn to live with what you've got and as soon as you accept it the better your life will be. i hope you find a solution to your problem and enjoy your romance.

Hi
IGA makes a heavy cover up and it is on the internet. IT even stays on when you sweet also go into a plastic surgeons office they have over the counter product like obagee that can help fade this I think it is called mongolian spotting and my son has it but it doesn't bother him. Try putting mongolian spotting in the search box on yahoo and see if there is anything else you can do to treat it.

so sorry to hear you are suffering like that.. if this guy really likes you, you have nothing to worry about and dont need to cover them and he will be looking much deeper than marks on your skin. Maybe talk to him about it and i bet he will put you at ease as i'm sure you're way more uncomfortable about it than he will ever be.. noone is perfect and we all hate different things about our body.. you are what you are so learn to live with it rather than hide it.. i'm sure theres many nice things about you the guy will be focusing on! Good luck x x x x

Be straight with him tell him that you have a hangup about it, if he really likes you then he will not give a darn about it and think that you are beautiful no matter what, i have horrible streatchmarks and i hate them but my boyfreind dont seem to care about them as he loves me for who i am, i have actually caught him a couple of times stroking the ones on my hips i asked him WHY? and he said becasue they are really smooth. Lol

have you told him about the marks? if not talk to him im sure if he cares enough it wont bother him if it does he wasn't worth it in the first place, but if you are that bothered about them you can get camoufage make up from the red cross, it was recommended to me by a plastic surgeon who operated on my leg which after a skin graft left me severely scard
