Getting intimate with acne scars?

[Retrosurferrr]

Hi, so I think I am an average/above average 18 year old guy, and everyone I have asked seems to agree. I am not overly awkward with girls and have been in relationships before but I don’t know how to initiate casual sexual relationships without being creepy/an asshole.

I am also very insecure about my acne scars, which makes me feel less confident (I am still not awkward tho). How do I create sexual situations for myself? Is it possible with acne scars? Thanks.

ps. can send pictures of my face/scars so this scenario is better understood

It's totally possible with acne scars. They're actually common, so they're kinda invisible to normal people. If you currently have acne, you may get lucky with a woman who enjoys popping and cleaning them; my wife is one of those 'pimple persons' and routinely goes over my back, face, and beard looking for things to pop or blackheads. Unfortunately I rarely get any, but she's happy when she finds them.

If I can find one, you can too bud. Have faith and don't let your spirits get low, there's love for everyone out there.

I don’t currently get acne (which is a plus for me) so this doesn’t really apply. Still thank you very much

At that age I became so cocky I didn't care what my face looked like at all (probably because it was clean most of the time) and during the most important time it would suddenly start pumping this stuff all over my face, probably due to excess hormones triggered by the female + dirty pillow sometimes. But women still didn't chase me any less during it, because we all know that acne and scars are temporary.

Do your best for health, and forget about the acne scars.

For some people who resist casual, there is no way not to be creepy. For some, nothing is ever "creepy".

All good stuff but the scars i’m talking about aren’t necessarily temporary. They aren’t like the red ones they are the depressions in the skin.

I am quite healthy- I eat well and go to the gym most days, and I don’t get acne anymore bc I went on medication. Still the scars remain like 2/3 years later.

Acne isn’t an unheard-if problem at your age

[Retrosurferrr]

yeah it’s less the acne (which is gone now by the way) and more the scarring left behind. No one I know has scarring like I do (it’s not overly severe but it’s noticeable)

It is what it is, go to dermatologist and ask them what they recommend to make it look better or some kind of a skin doctor

[Retrosurferrr]

Yeah I know. quite a lot about treatments bc it bothers me, but I have to finish the course of skin medication I am on first.

The main problem is even if you see a derm and get treatment, for scars it’s never 100%, maybe 70-80% if you’re lucky. That’s my issue.

Give it your best shot to seek out the best treatment
