The Detrimental Effects of Acne
Even after acne clears, residual acne scars can have negative effects on people’s mental health as well. Thus, it is important to get acne under control in a quick and effective manner.
The effects of acne can be detrimental to one’s mental health. Karyn Grossman, MD, founder and director of Grossman Dermatology (Santa Monica, CA) explained that acne is still a problem for many patients, as a significant portion of the population has acne. “Many studies have shown that acne has a detrimental effect on people’s psyche. Even after acne clears, residual acne scars can have negative effects on people’s mental health as well. Thus, it is important to get acne under control in a quick and effective manner,” she shared.
New research reveals roughly 4 in 5 moderate to severe acne sufferers have missed moments in their life due to acne.1 Acne sufferers often avoid moments when first impressions are everything, like first dates or interviews, and social gatherings such as nights out with friends and family functions.
