Your Stories - Acne and Relationships

The affects of acne on relatiohships - Jay, Edinburgh, Scotland

Hi I just wanted to say thanks very much for creating this website/newsletter as people don't really understand the implications and depression of having acne. I have had acne since I was 15 am now 29 years of old. They way it affects your social life and affects relationships and even how it even affects your job. I was a postman for 2 years and had to give it up as it made my acne so much worse with sweating and the delivery bag rubbing on my shoulders and back. I worked in a bank for the last 2 years but never really felt comfortable with alot of my colleagues and other staff members always felt they seen my face and neck and never really seen me. I have been on anti-depressants for 10 years also as it has affected me so badly. I have now decided to go back to college and do my HNC and HND in computing and also I have been going to a dermatologist for 10 years and have been on Roaccutane and have tried (n-lite) which I felt did help but had to go London to have I done and was so expensive as I live in Edinburgh (Scotland). I hope to keep in contact with yourself and others on this website and it helps speaking to people who know something about the nightmare am living. (January 2007) Contact Jay
