    Ok I am in high school and have pretty bad acne on my neck and back. I hate it so much. I sit in the front of all my classes and I'm sure everyone can see it and when people start laughing, I get so worried and anxious that they are laughing at my neck acne. I always have to readjust my hoodie to make sure it covers the neck acne. Ugh I hate it so much and just wanted to vent on here:(

    Don't worry too much about what others think. Focus on what is more important in your life, be it studying, NoFap or finding a gf. Others will keep on laughing because sometimes that is the only way they would feel better about themselves.

    Thank you. I'll stop caring. So that means I should just relax and not use my hoodie to cover it and let everyone see it?

    Whatever works for you. No one is perfect and there is no need to be one.

  7. It's only nature... You can't do a lot about your acne in puberty, so if they laugh at you because of it that tells a lot more about them. I remember having some acne and especially a type of rash/eczema when I was in high school. I really believe fapping can worsen these problems. It totally messes with the hormonal balance. For instance my acne tends to get worse during nofap. Your hormones need to readjust, especially after masturbation and PMO addiction. Of course during puberty it's totally normal to have acne since your reproductive system is developing...
    What helped to combat the acne for me were several dermatological products, don't be afraid to go to the grocery store and buy them: clearasil is good (don't know what it's called in your country) but could worsen acne, especially if you PMO, and I also used a cleansing product from Garnier with alcohol in it which was really helpful.
    Good luck and don't worry about it.
    Edit: the Garnier product is called pure active. It really helped for me, they sell it in different types, creams, etc.

    Even I am really suffering from severe acne on face , whole body and also back. I know how it feels like many friends used to avoid me because I don't look good. Any suggestions on how to get rid of acne scars?

    I heard just moisturizing every night actually helps a lot.

    Yea it's sooo weird. Like I can go a week of lots of masterbaition and then my acne clears up. Then if I take a day or two off then come back to it, it comes back. If I take a week off of fapping, saming results.

    I had really terrible acne on my back and shoulders for most of my teens, I couldn't take my shirt off in changing rooms or at the beach or anything. In the end I went to the doctors and they put me on some heavy duty medication for it and it cleared right up and I haven't had a problem since. I've been left with a lot of scarring though, and I know that if I'd just gone to the doctors sooner I could have avoided a lot of damage. If I've learnt one thing from NoFap it's that it's so important to value yourself, value your body. If your acne is affecting you this much then I'd really recommend you seek some medical advice, it'll be good for your skin and your self-esteem.
