boys with a huge amount of acne

I'm pretty sure you're not going to "catch" his acne from a kiss, unless you decide to pop all of his zits and then rub it all over your face. Acne isn't an STD.

As for advice? Do you see this guy as a long term thing? Acne doesn't last a lifetime, it will fade eventually.

This reminds me of Cooties back in kindergarten.

Maybe you can wash your face extra well after you kiss him?

 

Causes of acne:

Now, I don't know too much about acne, so I went to my trusted oft-used source, Wikipedia. From what it says on there, you can't catch it by kissing people with acne. It may feel a bit strange, however I think your skin is going to be okay. thank god for that.

 

First of all, if you are calling him a "freak" behind his back, that's not being a good boyfriends anyway, so you don't really need to worry about kissing him.

I didn't have terrible acne in highschool, but I had it. I guarantee that none of my boyfriends got it when they kissed me. Some already had it, some perfectly clear faces. To people who have never had it, you can't understand the embarassment. You feel like that's all people see. It's something that no one can help, and usually completely fades away by about the age 20-23.

If you really like this guy, go ahead and kiss him. You will not contract his acne like a disease.

 

I agree. You have also indirectly insulted anyone here who suffers from bad acne.

 

I used to have it bad... now it has pretty much cleared up, but I still get some zits when I'm stressed (and I hate them with a passion).

There's this guy at college. He has a hot body and the cutest eyes, but the worst acne I've ever seen. Seriously, it looks like if something radioactive and corrosive at once had been spilled on his cheeks. I have never talked to him, but I think that if he was a really nice guy and gay (I'm sure he isn't), I'd seriously consider being his boyfriend. Acne doesn't look good but I wouldn't stop considering a person because of it.

I'd also recommend you to think about what you say. If I was in his place and read this thread, I'd probably: 1) have my self-esteem devastated, and 2) really, thoroughly hate you. Plus, as Paul said, that's an insult to anyone with bad acne.

 

I don't mind it. I actually find it cute. Why the hell would you get caught up on acne?

 

i don't think what you think of this guy should be altered by what he looks like. i tink you may be being a tiny bit superficial. i don't really see what it has to do with anything. i used to have eczema on my face and it looked like acne or something simialr, and i'm really quite offended by the term "acne freak", as i can imagine the pain that that would cause

 

I had pretty bad acne, and still do but its getting better, I started taking Accutane today, so things should get much better pretty soon. thankfully I only have a few spots on my face, most are on my back.
No guy has ever been grossed out by my skin, true its not pretty at all, I hate it, but they got over it.
I am not a freak !!!

 

That's hot.

 

hmmm
Well I met a guy on the sister site with an acne fetish, he gave me loads of advice on how to get rid of it, but it didn't really work.
Acne is def not my fetish... whatever rocks your boat !

 

MOTHER OF GOD!

NO NO STOOOOP!!!

Have you ANY idea of the side effects of Accutane?!!?!

Serious i beg you with ALL my heart to STOP taking Accutane until you have done some REALLY heavy research.

Accutane is a extremely high rate of causing infertility (i know some people here may not see that as a problem but u never know), Arthritis really bad in many joints, it's illegal for females to take in Australia!! The only guy that i knew took it for about 10 days before all the skin on his lips got so dry and cracked that they were bleeding.

It can cause serious permanent damage to SO many aspects of your body.

You're a really beautiful guy JSG and you do not need any Acne treatment ESPECIALLY not Accutane.

 

Don't worry I'm looking out for him. He has tried other treatments for 6 months now, the acne is better but still very prevalent on his back and chest.

You know acne hurts, there are raised red spots with pus and then another right next to it and one inbetween, sometimes there is barely any skin to see, just great big red hurty spots everywhere. When it gets to the point that when you move and the skin pulls across the raised and angry spots life is difficult to bear.

I got him the medication from the doctor and he does know what the side affects are. If I notice any changes in his behaviour I will stop him taking it but for the time being, he is ready to try just about anything. Sooo, here's hoping that he won't be one of the unfortunate ones who gets the worse side affects.

 

Well I guess if you understand the risks involved and have done your research then I do not have to right to object, but watch him really closely as some of the side effects are very serious and permanent.

Well on the bright side, it is VERY VERY effective JSG, u wont have a single spot on your skin in about 2 months!

 

The world needs more people like this ^...
