How cystic acne affects our emotions

Posted: Oct 13, 2009 | Views: 200 |

I have noticed that most people 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 going to solve the problem.  Those of us who have had acne for a while get even more frustrated when we realize that people are going to look at you as though you don't take care of yourself or you lack personal hygiene when in reality your about 20 times more free of germs than the next guy.

Unfortunate we live in a society where we should feel less secure about ourselves because our skin is bad. The weird thing is that supposedly 80% of the society suffers from cystic acne in adolescence. I have seen people with very mild acne react much stronger than people with worse acne though - and that shows how it does depend on the person generally.  However, 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-esteem, self-confidence, and happiness, to minimize this only serves to minimize the anguish that many suffer on a daily basis.

The solution for those bad feeling is not easy but you can still try to deal with it. You can have cystic acne and still enjoy 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.

    Nobody wants to be spotty. It is a universal truth. Regardless of how old we become--bad skin, be it the rare zit or full blown acne--is shameful. Acne, in particular, can be a problem for us for much longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. For a long time we've covered our faces with high-priced chemicals and products hoping to keep the acne far from us. But what if you could clear up your skin in much easier and less harmful ways?

    No one really wants to be affected with zits. It really is just the simple truth. It doesn't matter how old we become, zits, pimples, acne -- terrible skin in whatever form it takes -- is embarrassing. Acne, in particular, can be a plague for us for considerably longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. We spend years slathering ourselves with every chemical and acne fighter we can find.

    I have heard of many people who claim to have solved their cystic acne problems through diet, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for everyone. There is some ambiguity on what a "good diet" consists of. For example, some diets are not too keen on grain and carbohydrate based foods while most nutritionists recommend a grain based diet. Also there are lots of books on diet and foods, and there are some differences in opinion.

    Some people have claimed that dairy products, for example, make their skin break out. I don't know of any studies that have proven this, but even if this is true for you at your age, it's unlikely to be the cause of his severe, typical adolescent cystic acne. Even though it seems to live on grease, it's not likely to significantly affect your skin (unless you get the grease all over his face and doesn't wash it off).
