Hello everyone, so this post might be a "Debby downer", but I just wanted to give you guys a little peek of some of the things I am self conscious about.
Have you ever heard people talk about their flaws and when you see it, it seems as if its a really minute (small) thing, but to them its a big deal? Well for me one of my biggest flaws is my skin. not just my face, but my whole body. I struggle with acne and tenia versicolor. I have acne on my face mostly on my cheeks and it can be really upsetting sometimes. I have had acne since middle school, and it has never went away, although it has subdued a little. I know this is partially my fault for not having the best diet, but I also will argue that genetics plays some type of role. My acne has really lowered my self esteem to the point where I don't go ANYWHERE without foundation!
Just a brief overview of Tenia versicolor its basically a discoloration of the skin. It is mostly found in places where you tend to sweat the most (your back, underneath your chest), but it can also spread to other areas of your body. Mine is under my boobs all over my back on my bottom, and on my thighs, while still spreading. Now this condition isn't harmful to your skin but it in some cases it can cause your skin to be itchy. For a long time, this made me self-conscious of what I wear, and it still in some ways does. One of the biggest problems that I have though, with this skin condition is that everything that I have tried as far as over the counter products has not worked for me and going to the dermatologist right now is not something I can afford.
Here is an example of Tenia versicolor (this is not me)
So this is just a little insight of what I struggle with, I tried to be very open and honest but also brief.
What are you self conscious about?
