I’m 16 my skin on my face is horrible it is basically a deep red on my cheeks and neck and is like a rash but it’s eczema I look sorta like a burn victim or like i poured chemicals on my face. I’ve tried everything to fix it. I’ve accepted I will be sub 5 until my skin magically fixes it self. Was just wondering how do I live a happy life I’ve dropped out of school for other reasons so at least I don’t have to respond to the “(gasp) what happened to your face” bullshit.

You tried at doing an elimination diet/cutting out foods to see if any are causing it? Or checking for mold in your house (its not always visible)? Sounds like an autoimmune condition.

You live happily the same way all the other sub 5 people do. Keep in mind you are 16 now and even if good looking being insecure is normal at your age. People get much more comfortable and stress about bullshit stuff less as they get older.

I cut out everything from my diet the only thing that could cause issues would be nuts but I can’t my get my calories in if I don’t eat them. And I pretty sure I have mold in my room form it being damp so much but I can’t do anything about that until I move

Yeah id just try and stay out of it as much as possible. Also have you had your inflammation markers checked (crp etc)?

Just focus on what you can improve/control for now (in terms of looks) and keep trying things for your skin.I went through a phase when I was 16 where I had terrible acne for about 8 months because of some weird reaction. IK its hard not to focus on it (especially when you talk to somoene and can see they look at it lol) but just try and focus on the long term.

Nah I haven’t had inflammation markers checked what does it do, I haven’t been able to see a proper dermatologist because the county I’m in the health services are so shit and are backed up for months. Thanks for the advice appreciate it

Have you tried ghk -cu
Exosome Injections + PRP + Fractional CO2 Laser
Trifarotene (topical prescription retinoid)
FOXO4-DRI Peptide Cream + Fisetin & Quercetin Cycling

dnr past the first sentence, get accutane after you completely finish puberty, and along the road develop some kind of routine to keep your skin the smoothest you can, research on botb

once you know you’re sub-5, it’s too late. you either ascend (which 9/10 of sub-5s) wouldn’t or you live to hate yourself

bro 16 is too young to be calling yourself sub5. you have so much time to grow out of the acne like most people and if that doesnt work the try roaccutane, worked miracles for me. dating doesnt even mean shit before college

That is true I know I’m sub 5 now but in the future I’ll won’t when my skin is normal and my face matures

nice cope :feelsokman:
acne isn’t what makes him sub-5, nothing that you can change on your own makes you sub-5 (except weight in some cases)

just pay for it. Its cheaper than living as subhuman.

This Issue is easier to solve than u think
