   Best Answer – Chosen by Voters You may not care now as a child but when you are a woman you may care. I think your mom is genuinely concerned. Children have parents because they do not always know what is right or wrong for the long term. Kids think about today and that is it.EDIT: You are 18 that isn't exactly an . You are legal that is true but as far as being mentally an you still fall short.

   Acne itself shouldn't leave scars. Picking at it incessantly will. If it gets really bad, you could end up with pitted skin and pock marks that cannot be covered up with makeup and are very unattractive.Search "excoriated acne" in google images. You don't want to look like that if you can help it.

   My opinion. Listen to your parents…you might think you know everything and how you feel right now is how you will always feel, but you are wrong.Oh…and picking at your acne is not a problem known as excoriated acne…it is a bad habit like biting your nails. Habbits are hard to break, but if you try hard enough you can do it. Besides, what you describe is gross!

   It should be a problem because what is a few scars now could turn into into a bunch of scars, and when you're older that will be a problem.Why don't you want your problem to go away? Do you want to be picking at zits for the rest of your life? It will look disgusting as you get older, trust me. My aunt has scars all over her face, and she has fair skin. They are extremely noticeable.

   i agree with you but if it you did have low self estene then i could be concerned but you don't it's just a bad habbit. i mean i have bad arm acne and i do the same thing you do i have a good self estene the only time your parents should be concered with your acne is when it concernes your health

   I've got the exact same thing! but they do show up as scars for me… so it was my new years resolution to stop and get rid of my acne for good, and i was so motivated because i've had acne since the six grade (freshman now) and it's effected my confidence a lot. but you probably should get it checked out. even if it doesn't bother you, it might end up being bad..

   I also have slight acne. I dont see a huge problem in you pickin at it although it DOES leave scars and who wants that? Makeup wont cover up much of your scars Im pretty sure you will still be able to see it a little bit. Have you asked your parents to buy you Proactive? I used to use that and it worked for me pretty good. Well, I hope this helped! Source(s): Mommy of 2 month old Aaliyah Mae

   this happens to me all the time but i went to a doctor and he gave me a cream and tablets and it helped me a loti advise you to do the same so you can just get rid of them and not leave any holes in your skin

   You'll regret it in a few years!Your parents are just doing the best they can for you.Is it that you enjoy picking at them? If not, or if so, why don't you go to a doctor just to keep your parents happy.

    I really don't think it matters. I do it to, tell your mother it's your face and you really don't care. It sounds like she's worried what people think of you, which is wrong for a mother to do.

    You can choose to be complacent about it or you can stop spreading BACTERIA around your face. Don't sacrifice hygiene in the name of having high self-esteem. That's the I'm happy being overweight mentality!!!

12. taylor swift March 14th, 2010 at 11:29 am 12

    listen to your mother. you may not care about the scars now, but a few can turn into a lot. plus you may not care that your face is bleeding and infected but no one else around you wants to look at that

13. justin bieber March 14th, 2010 at 11:29 am 13

    You should really tell that to your mom and dad. Humour her a bit, try not to pick at acne and use a SENSITIVE skin acne control product. Good luck!

14. selena gomez March 14th, 2010 at 11:29 am 14

    First of all, it looks really gross when people pick their acne. I agree with your mom, you really should see a doctor.

15. Vanessa Hudgens March 14th, 2010 at 11:29 am 15

    I agree, you should see a doctor about it; but if you don't care, just leave it.

    I know this younger girl still in high school and last year she got some jeans for christmas they were a little to big size 20 or something the obese size 20 I asked her if she was planning on taking them back and her response was no she can just have breathing room and they will fit before to long. The problem was that she is ok with how she looks but in the long run it will take alot of exercise and counseling before she realizes that its NOT ok and she shouldn't settle for something that she could easily prevent. try wearing gloves or doing something that involves both of your hands when you do catch yourself go wash your hands and your face promptly. I don't want to be rude but when I see someone with puss scab on there face it grosses me out and makes me think that person has poor Hygienee and low self esteem picking at yourself is called self mutilation I hate to say it but your mother knows what she's talking about.

    I agree with you. Even though your mom is just trying to help if it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother you. Just sit her down and say mom listen me picking my acne doesn't bother me. Hope I helped!!P:S: this doesn't have anything to do with the subject but if you want to stop biting you nails do what I did. I bought this clear nail polish that tastes nasty! Believe me I put it on I went to bite my nails and starting spitting. LOL funny but hey it worked!

    now you wont see the scars.. but in time as you agenow do u really want to have to get up every morning after sleeping with some sexy guy… and run to the bathroom to makeup on because you have a whole bunch of scars on your face?just go to the doctor to make your parents happy (you can hold it over their head later if they ask say, "i already went")and get a rubber band and put it on your wristevery time you go to pick at your acne, snap the rubber band! =]
