Yeah, me too. My acne is pretty much under control, and nowhere near as bad as it used to be. But those rogue pimples still pop up at the worst times. How can you sit through a lecture about the skin and its proper care when the lecturer (that would be me) has a zit the size of Texas on her cheek? You can't help but stare at something like that.

Living with acne can be tough, something those always blessed with clear skin can't always appreciate. Acne does affect our confidence level, and the way we feel about ourselves. But I've had to learn that acne doesn't define who I am, and it doesn't diminish me either. It's a tough lesson, but well worth it.
