Facing the Troubles of Acne: How to Deal with Scars and Their Impact on Mental Well-being

December 25, 2023

On the road of growing up, we will always encounter various problems, and acne is one of them. However, it is precisely the appearance of acne that adds countless troubles to everyone.


1. How to face people when there are acne scars all over the face?

Adolescence is the peak period of acne outbreaks. Teenagers in this period are still not physically and mentally healthy. When they first have acne, it often affects their normal life. Some people even stay indoors because acne affects their appearance. In the long run, this is very detrimental to the physical and mental development of teenagers. At this time, we should adjust our mindset and face acne with a positive attitude. Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life and focus on the correct outlook on life. Put emphasis on learning and inner cultivation rather than just focusing on appearance. If the pressure is too high, it will increase sebum secretion and accelerate the growth of acne.

2. Acne affects mood, how long does it take to get rid of it?

There is no product or medicine that will work immediately. Usually, the treatment period takes 1-2 months to stabilize the hair follicles and sebum. If it is a very mild acne, it will take at least 2-3 weeks to see results. To completely get rid of acne, you must treat it accordingly and find out the cause of acne. Maintain a pleasant and stable mood and adjust your daily routine. Acne-prone skin should also pay attention to using a complete set of skincare products and not "fighting alone", as this will affect the entire treatment process.

3. After getting rid of acne, will it leave ugly acne scars?

85% of acne patients have mild acne. The size and quantity of pimples are small. If properly cared for, pimples will not last for a long time, and there will generally be no scars or acne marks after healing. 10% have moderate acne, with larger pimples and more quantity. They are prone to developing pus and causing slight pain when touched. However, if properly cared for, they usually won't leave any marks. 2%-3% have severe acne, with larger pimples, more quantity, widespread distribution, long duration, and severe pain when touched. If not properly cared for, it is easy to leave scars and indentations as aftereffects.

Therefore, I suggest that if you have acne on your face, do not squeeze it with your hands. You can use a needle to puncture it and then wipe it with a cotton swab dipped in water. Squeezing with your hands not only easily causes infection but also leaves acne marks on your face, which are difficult to cure.
