[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does he want to do? Is he fine with the state of his skin?

Has he tried routine acne facials or lasers?[/quote]

I mean no one likes walking around with giant pimples on their face. I know he's interested in girls and I worry he feels unattractive (he won't discuss girls with me). He is super diligent about washing and creams. His skin gets easily irritated but the topical meds do nothing. It was the same for me when I had hormonal acne as a teen - I was bullied for being "dirty" when I spent hours trying every cleansing and topical treatment under the sun. It was heartbreaking for me.[/quote]
Op you responded about yourself, your worries, and your experiences. It’s his skin and right now he’s refusing a treatment option recommended by his dermatologist.

So what does he want to do? Has he tried routine acne facials or lasers?

PP from earlier.  I think teen girls are under more pressure to look pretty.  Unless he is interested in the most image-oriented girls, I think most high-school girls are just happy to have boys romantically interested in them.  Also "kids today" seem to be less bullying than when I was a kid.  I was made fun of for my acne.  I don't hear about that kind of thing much anymore.  Weird behavior/social behavior still attracts negative attention but there is less about people's personal appearance that can't be helped.  I think it's because they do explicit anti-bullying training.[/quote]
