I genuinely struggle with my appearance and how others and myself perceive every single day. My skin can look so different depending on lighting and angle bro it’s caused me to self isolate a lot the last 6 months. Rn I’m on low dose accutane, Tret, ghkcu, and have been doing everything I can skincare wise I’m just stuck with subhuman skin genes ig. I wish I had hopped on accutane sooner man if I hopped on during late 2024 it would’ve saved me so much time and energy dude now my confidence is shattered. I also just nerfed myself by cutting my hair short again but it will grow back better ig. The only thing giving me hope rn is I have a subcision+co2 laser in June and I’ve never done any invasive treatments yet for my scarring since it’s still relatively new(around 9 months to a year)and I have school rn. The thing is I look pretty good in 70% of lighting confidtions I’d say but when I’m in a dark room next to a window with sunlight or cloudy lighting coming through I want to kms so bad I swear to God man. Any thoughts or recommendations I know people may fry me for posting this but I don’t care bro I’ve been dealing with this shit alone for so long man. I just hope in 3 years I can look back at myself and realize that my skin wasn’t permanently damaged but since it’s atrophic scarring I really don’t know. I’m not even asking for them to be completely gone since that’s unrealistic I just want them to be less visible when I go out.
