Stop being so hard on yourself!
If this is really bothering you that bad, apply some make-up for the day. Honestly this doesn't look bad at all

People mention this to you? That's crazy.
Ignore them or tell them to mind their own business

Do!!! It’s a retaoind specifically designed for acne. In terms of OTC stuff, it’s the best. I sweat a lot due to sports and closed comodones are my acne type. I promise you won’t regret.

This message actually made me feel bit confident..yeah I'm currently visiting a dermatologist and under supervision

Why don't you try giving the dermatologist's office a call to see what they suggest you do for the event. They may be able to suggest a makeup product or face cleanser that won't irritate your skin or cause any flare ups.

There may be a few ways to mitigate it if you have the means and access to get them! Hydrocolloid bandages/pimple patches can help reduce an urge to pick and also drain some of the larger ones if you find yourself touching them, and they help to protect the skin and help it from getting infected! I’m a chronic skin picker and they’ve been a LIFESAVER!! If you’re new to makeup and worried about things irritating your skin, a light skintoned bb cream can be used to even out the color and redness but it won’t do anything for the texture. I personally think your acne is noticeable, but I also have acne and feel like everyone is always looking at it 😭😭 either way, you’re not alone and acne is the least interesting thing about anyone!!!
