I have noticed that most public talk about their cystic acne in a clinical sense, but don’t really talk about the emotional toll their acne has on them.
Those of us who know what real cystic acne is are so frustrated because we know that washing the skin is not vacant to solve the problem. Those of us who have had acne for a while get even more frustrated when we realize that public are vacant to look at you as though you don’t take care of physically or you lack personal hygiene when in reality your about 20 times more free of microorganisms than the next guy.
Unfortunate we live in a society where we should feel less secure about ourselves because our skin is terrible. The weird thing is that by all accounts 80% of the society suffers from cystic acne in adolescence. I have seen public with very mild acne react much stronger than public with worse acne though – and that shows how it does depend on the person generally. But, I have never encountered a soul who has cystic acne and is completely fine with it. It’s frustrating to be encountered by those blessed with clear skin who tell you that all you need is to wash your face. Acne is much more than a fleeting teen affliction. It is in fact a disorder that really affect ones self-admire, self-confidence, and happiness, to minimize this only serves to minimize the anguish that many suffer on a daily basis.
The solution for those terrible feeling is not simple but you can still try to deal with it. You can have cystic acne and still delight in your social life. Try to take it as if the acnes aren’t there, and everyone else don’t bother bout your acnes too when socializing.
