How do I tell my best friend that I cant swim this summer because of back acne?
I have back acne and I am taking medicine for it. It is going to take about 4 months to clear up and by then it will already be hot. When my best friend or any other friends ask me to go swimming, what do I say to get out of it? And how should i tell my best friend i have it? This is so embaressing for me. I dont know what to do or say! Please help!

acne and treatment no hindrance for swimming hence no question of telling ur friends.
if ur shy to show ur back ,u need not worry.4 months is too long a period.u will be almost cured.
" Hey guys, I’m taking medication and cannot go swimming." Simple enough, huh?
sounds like you have a crush with your bff.
Best friends… I can’t swim this summer because of back acne.
I am sure It will clear up before four months, maybe not completely gone but the amount should be minimized. Also if she is a good friend she should not mind. Tell her you are taking medication and it will get better. If she’s a nice person why should she care? I understand its embarrassing, but don’t let it get in the way of having fun. If you are a girl and have long hair, try and wear your hair down if it really bothers you. Anyways, don’t let the small things in life get to you!
just be honest.. and take accutane, worked for me
You could just simply tell them the truth. That way, they don’t get the wrong impression of you. And yes, you could tell them that the medication that you will be taking tells you to stay out of the sun.
haha you dont have to be ashamed or shy of back acne i have it too and my friends are totally cool with it
by the by, what kind of medicine do you take? I took pills and a backwash, it’s been nearly two years and there has been no improvement
Sunshine and chlorine treated water are the best way to clear up back acne. Swimming in the ocean is even better with the salt water for some reason. Some acne medicines tell you to stay out of the sun, so check that out for sure. Don’t back out of having fun, you will regret it.
Better yet try this product:

First of all, you do not OWE anyone an explanation. It’s ok for you to have your own reasons and you are not obligated to tell anyone what they are. If you don’t want to go into it, you could just say, "Look, I have my reasons that I’m not ready to advertise, but these are my wishes and I would appreciate if you would respect them." If your bf doesn’t, that’s his/her problem. Any "pressure" that they put on you to succumb to their will has a name: it’s called "peer pressure" and you don’t have to be a slave to peer pressure unless you choose to. A real friend will respect your privacy and keep their nose out of your business. It’s not like you’re asking them not to swim just because you don’t want to. It really doesn’t cost your friend anything because you choose not to swim. So tell them to lay off. And remember that it’s your prerogative to say no. Secondly, I have a niece who refuses to swim for the same reason. I don’t think anyone really cares about your back acne any more than they care about my cellulite. No one’s body is perfect. Everyone has something that they don’t like about their bodies. The point is to just hang out and have fun, not to show out for other people. I think you’re going to miss out on some good times if you don’t go. If you’re going to be so self conscious that you can’t relax and have fun, don’t go. But you’re going to miss out a lot in life if you stay concerned with your appearance. Everyone else is just having fun. No one is paying attention to your back. I think you would be surprised how little attention people are paying to you when they’re busy having fun. Don’t miss out if you can help it.
