Samantha Q asked:

ok i noticed today that my acne got tons worse, just when it cleared up almost completely. i have about 12 new bumps on my face, forming into pimples. i dont understand why. i shower every day, change my sheets and pillowcase often, wash my face with a good cleanser, drink plenty water, pretty much everything good. i even use good makeup that dosent clog pores, but even has salicyc acid to cover blemishes and heal them.
something ive been considering lately is being nervous. i get nervous in school REALLY often. im really self-consious
could this cause acne? i heard stress caused acne, but what about being nervous?
for example theres this really stupid guy that likes me, and is the type that always gets in trouble. also, he sits right next to me, and he always talks to the person sitting on the opposite side of me just to be able to look at me without being obvious. i try to ignore it, since i hate him so much, and its so annoying and get nervous
also, my eye starts twiching by itself its really annoying, but im a nervous wreak. also, whenever the guy i DO like comes near me, i get nervous also, because im a shy type of person..so yeah..could that cause me to break out more? if it does, what can i do to prevent getting nervous, or breaking out from being nervous? :( PLEAS HELP ME
and btw i dont mean a little nervous, i mean EXTREMELY EXTREMELY NERVOUS. like my face is burning nervous
what can i do to stop myself from getting nervous always? breathing deeply in and out dosent help much

    Maybe if you sweat when you are nervous it could cause acne. Or if you touch your face a lot that causes acne, your fingers produce natural oils that can clog pores and such and cause acne. You can also get acne from over-cleaning your face. If your face is washed too much and has too many products put on it, your face will in turn produce oil from being over dry, which will cause acne.

    Being nervous causes stress and when you stress you probably sweat, which is a major contributor to acne.

    Yeah, besides it being genetic. Stress can cause all these breakouts you’ve been having. I used to have the same probelm. one more thing though. With all the stress you’ve been going through, do you get enough sleep? If not, this can add to your problems too.
    Touching your face alot can cause breakouts to. you probably don’t notic eyou do it alot because this guys had been staring and making you nervous.

    I’m pretty sure it does. I get really nervous around guys that like me too! But I don’t like them back. I don’t know why, but try thinking about something else when you’re around that annoying guy. Or ignore, that’s always the best way. Stay focused on work and don’t pay any attention, because you can’t be nervous when you forgot that he’s looking!
