I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. I know what you mean about growing your hair to cover your face. For two years I hid behind my hair. If someone walked towards me, my hair would go into my face and I wouldn't look up until they left. It was so horrible. Although, having your hair in your face can be part of the problem. As much as you want to hide the acne, you need to keep your hair off your forehead and out of your face to keep from adding oil to already upset skin.

You know it might help if you tell your mom how wretched you are feeling in a calm way instead of being angry. Then perhaps she will hear you...That this isn't an issue of getting a haircut and that holding the dermatologist "hostage" until you get a hair cut is unfair. You obviously need medical help with your acne. You need to find out if having hair in your face is part of the problem. Just be calm and tell your mom how badly you are feeling about all this and that you need her HELP to get it figured out.

good luck!

How old are you? IF you are 18, you obviously don't need your mother holding your hand at the dermatologist's office. If not, I understand what you mean, but 1 1/2 years isn't that long. I've had acne for at least 4 years now. I think right now it's getting somewhat better, but it's always an uphill battle to get it under control. I'm 21 now and waiting for my hormones to stabilize.

thanks for the replies

im a 15 year old male, need my mom to take me to the derm still

about my hair, i really dont have that much acne on my forehead anymore, it all clearred up, its just that i have these wretched scars, huge scars on my temples and i dont want anyone to see them...i'd be 100X more self conscience than i already am...i told my mom i would get my haircut after she took me to the derm but she still insists that i get a cut now (my hair is really long, curly out of control), she just doesnt get it...nobody gets it in my family. everyone but me has near perfect skin, my sister struggled with really mild acne a bit but me and her are the only ones with scars and im the only one with severe herpes looking acne all over my mouth!! i dont go anywhere because im too ashamed, almost all my friends have very little to no acne at all

Just an idea, but have you considered that maybe the long hair on your face makes your face more oily? I mean hair has oil and if it's covering your face, it might not help.
