Acne
Acne can have a lasting emotional impact, especially when it leaves behind scars. These blemishes can affect an individual’s self-esteem and confidence, leading to social withdrawal or even anxiety. Often, the emotional toll is as significant as the physical one. For many, acne is not just a skin condition but a constant reminder of past struggles. Scarring, whether from inflamed acne or delayed treatment, can make it harder for individuals to move forward. Thus, early and effective treatment is key in reducing both physical and emotional consequences of acne.
