The Social Impact of Acne
Today acne can be a very troublesome condition people can suffer off.
There is no physical discomfort associated to acne but the psychological impact can be very important. Researchers did not study this in too much detail because acne is a common non-threatening condition that comes and goes on its own.
As society evolves was observed that acne does have a big impact on the lives of people. Some studies conducted showed that the people suffering from acne also displayed:
- Depression
- Low self-esteem
- Refusal to socialize
- Low self-confidence
- Frustration
- Feelings of inadequacy
Acne has a negative effect on looks and the effects described can result. Research showed that people with acne can end up having an unsatisfying life and can fail in school, jobs and social interaction because of negative reactions from others.
