Hi, I just checked the results of the polls I put up. The model one is very heartening, and so is about 50% of the photographers replies. But the other answers have made me sad! I asked for it though didn't I!! And I do really appreciate your honesty.
I want to point out though, that personal hygiene has nothing to do with acne. It's caused by excessive amounts of testosterone in the body, not chocolate or lack of washing. As a decade long sufferer I know that people do presume that somehow the power lies with me to sort out my problem skin. As if I wouldn't do something about it if I could.
I've used prescribed treatments and taken prescribed medication without success. This ain't something that can be solved with a bottle of clearasil.
I'm off to the doctors again today to beg for something to help me, as my dream of modelling slips away.
I know that professionals in the industry have a high standard, and until I can find some medication that helps my complexion I won't be attempting modelling.
Thanks for your honesty!
