My self-esteem had always been low. I always felt so insecure about my appearance but it spilled over into every other area of my life.
As a result of how I felt about myself I got jobs that were low-paying and well below my skills. Do you feel the same about yourself because of your acne?
You pretty much have to be a super-human not to be emotionally effected in some way by your acne challenge.
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!
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!
