Interview Appearance skin condition

Dont shower. Shows confidence.
no. was wondering how they would look at allergic reactions in the face you can't do anything about; if it might have a really bad effect on my interview. it comes and goes really randomly cuz of the water I shower with in the east coast.
These are doctors. You dont think they'll understand?
I'm a dude haha.
No I didn't really; humans are generally judgmental and first impressions make a big deal. I just wanted some opinions.
All they'll care about is if you're confident. And wearing deodorant. Seriously if you show that you are uncofindent in yourself and let a little thing like a flare up get to you they'll probably mark you down for it.
Thanks man. I don't lack confidence at all. I just hate it when it flares up cuz it looks terrible haha.

Well, one be confident. You are a lot more than your face. You did something to be proud of that earned you the interview. Two, if it's the water, maybe try buying a Brita or bottled water and wash your head and face with that the week preceding the interview, it may appear strange and be a pain, but it could save you from the distraction.
Remember that your personality is part of your first impression too. Not JUST personal hygiene and physical appearance.
BO is kind of a deal-breaker for me though.

Lol thanks man. No Bo here thank god
Come on! Does anything scream confidence so much as the ability to walk into a room full of adcom members wreaking like an entire rugby team??? Eh????
Seriously though, I wasn't suggesting skipping the shower completely, just avoiding your face. I hope you can work something out. I am sure you will do well. Good luck!
