Hi,

I am a highly successful business executive and married to a very gorgeous woman.

My problem is that i have a lot of discoloration on my skin especially on my face which i can remember i have always had as a kid.

it hasn't stopped me from all the good things in life and feel lucky to have good friends. sometimes though i feel ugly and i shy away from meeting new . i cover myself with heavy makeup most times, hate going out apart from work, cant even go swimming and i am so tired of it.i don't know what my beautiful wife sees in me

what can i do to get more confident and enjoy life some more.

thanks for reading this is the first time i have ever opened up about this to anyone.

I have a very large scar on my face that happened to me in my early 40's.

Up to then I was a really beautiful woman who modelled and people turned to look at. After this happened to me I became very depressed. I lost my husband over it as he could not understand the vanity and how much pain this mark caused me. It has taken me 8 years not to immediately see just the scar on my face when I approach the mirror.

You have become a very successful business man and your skin discolouration has not held you back at all. I can assure you that people after the initial look won't even notice it and won't think about it twice.

You have a wife so it obviously doesn't bother her and you have things most people would want in life. I really promise you that people do look beyond the skin and you don't notice marks on another person at all after a while.

If you have money and it is causing you so much concern have you been to a skin doctor for suggestions maybe chemical peels or laser pigmentation help etc? It may be worth asking but don't get upset about it anymore - it has probably helped you to become as successful as you are as you fought extra hard thinking you had to compensate for it.

Pretty and proud agony auntYour wife loves you. It doesnt matter what anybody's face looks like you still love them.

Just imagine for example (god forbid) your beautiful wife was in an accident and she survived but with severe damage to her face. Would you still love her?

Of course you would! I know it's a bit of a different situation but it's just an example of loving someone on the inside. Everyone is beautiful in thier own way.

I really hope I helped you. Just don't be your own worst enemy.
