People touching your face [moderate acne] [forehead]

Okay, I have mild to moderate acne. Im not clear, since I was 14 (now 19) and sadly I do not know how good I had it, nor do I appreciate it.

Anyway, my acne is mostly on my forehead and some on my cheeks and chin.

There have been times when people touch my face. Like my friends and family feel my forehead to see if I have a fever or my sister whacking me on the forehead for me (tease in a playful way) 0.
But I cringe when they touch me. I move away almost instinctively. I mean . eww Who wants to touch my face? Its all fat and pimply, especially on the forehead. I mean, thats not good that they think its so gross that they would not touch, but seriously . its so gross.

I find myself looking at other peoples skin. Theres this girl in one of my classes, which has large, round forehead, and skin is sooo smooth and perfect. She could model for head . if there be such a thing. You want almost TOUCH it.

Have any of you had similar experiences or feelings?

Reply:Yeah, I usually pull away instinctively when people try to touch my face. It's almost like I spasm. When they do touch it I tend to get pissed off. Makes life fun. Ever want to pull a face-off procedure? Like in the movie Face-Off.

ProActive……..ProActive ProActive ProActive…..hmmm. I've been thinking about trying it again, even though it did nothing before. This girl I know with the world's most perfect skin uses it. But she's also a vegetarian. And she probably also has normal skin, like…..all my other friends…..who abuse their bodies and have perfect skin.

Reply:They touch you because they love you and dont see your face as being gross or ugly just because you have acne. Its not good tho, many have bacteria or oil that can aggravate the condition tho.
My son used to have a terrible acne problem and tried EVERYTHING under the sun. We spent hundreds of dollars on treatments and everything.
Then he tried proactive. THAT is the ONLY thing that cleared his face. THE ONLY thing! Since then, hes now 27 , the acne is under control and if he breaks out for stress or the heat or whatever, he goes right back on it and it clears it up again.
We had tried dermatoligists, treatments that cost hundreds of dollars and nothing had worked on him. Maybe you can try that and see if it works for you. I think britney spears even claims it helps her skin and its not expensive at all.

Reply:I don't let anyone touch my face, and when my buddies do, I get angry and we wrestle.
