This is a tough one, as I’ve had bad (not severe) acne throughout some of my teens & still expected to be liked by girls for being a young gentleman, but wasn’t  In my honest opinion, I know a few girls I’ve liked with SOME acne such as a few red pimples under their make-up, but SEVERE acne may just be a little too much for me to be attracted to.

But I’ll give a word of advice: see a dermatologist, take whatever he/she gives you and use as long as required. In my case, it worked a treat after some months (in case you don’t see much improvement after only a few days). However, I was left with some boxcar acne scars on both cheeks which I didn’t feel too self-conscious of until a few years later. It subtly appeared to smooth itself out after using products such as acne scar removal cream, as well as moisturizer & microdermabrasion exfoliator twice weekly (preferably before bed).

Hope this helps. If that’s you in the photo, then you are pretty… just the acne may grab unwanted attention. But if you follow the advice I gave, boys will want to date you and see how lovely you naturally are under all that. Good luck!
