Having acne during puberty is one thing, but to have pimples scribbled on your face post adolescence is quite another.
If this seems to strike a nerve in you– then the good news is you are not the only one.
But the bad news is just the other side of the coin – adult acne is on an overdrive, cures seem inefficient, and the rising adult acne trends are well on its way to depict the dimensions of an epidemic!
If you’re like me then you know that acne creams don’t really work. They always let you down. No matter what I did, my acne didn’t abate even though I used the best creams available in the market today. And when nothing seemed to work, I resorted to pills. So did you, right?
But I bet you didn’t know that while these drugs may work to some degree, they can also cause damage to your precious eyes.
Ever wondered where you got those stubborn acne scars from?
Well, the answer may be just around the corner. While touching pimples had never been recommended by skincare providers, to avoid local spreading of the infection, and acne recurrence, it has of late been strongly associated with adamant acne scars, say experts.
What do you do when you have a bout of acne? Do you panic, throw up your hands in despair, become hysterical, anguish about it every moment, and get depressed?
I foolishly acted exactly like that whenever I woke up and saw a new set of pimples, some of which were painful cysts mainly on my cheeks and on my forhead.
You probably kissed acne good-bye with the end of teen-years, or maybe you have never had acne at all. But after all these years, acne has struck you out of the blue.
You have probably tried most of the common treatments, all in vain. What is worse, you don’t even know why you are getting acne in the first place!
My name is Mike Walden, and I suffered from severe acne for more than 13 years. Being a former acne sufferer and experiencing acne in such an intense way gives me the special privilege to tell you personally that I truly and deeply understand the situation you are in today, and I honestly feel your pain.
