The Impact Of Acne On A Teenager by efoghorjos: 7:53pm On Oct 31, 2010
Acne could cause serious stress on a teenager as her psychological, emotional and physical life could be affected. No one loves to have a face that is seriously scarred and looking like a monster’s. Having a physical appearance that is aesthetically unacceptable could be very problematic and difficult to live with.

Psychologically it leads to a reduction in the sufferer’s self esteem as she sees herself as ugly, dirty and unattractive. This could be devastating to the self image she is just trying to build up as a young adult who is thinking of how to look attractive and acceptable to the opposite gender.

This inability to fully accept oneself for who one is could lead to anxiety or increased tension. The state of anxiety presents with other symptoms like diarrhea, anorexia, depression and failure in adaptation.

Besides, psychological problems could trigger up some physical problems such as asthma, eczema, etc: such problems are referred to as psychosomatic disorders. It goes to show that the problems of the mind could go as far as affecting the physical body.

The patient’s emotional upset creates more negative impact on them than the acne creates. Acne and stress can become interrelated – more acne causes more stress and the stress could cause the condition to worsen. It is more of a vicious cycle. Reduction in emotional stress could significantly reduce acne.

The presence of this anomaly on the skin could also create some social effects as the teenager finds it increasingly difficult to associate with friends. Since she sees herself as ugly and unacceptable, she also believes others see her that way. This conclusion invariably leads her into separating herself from friends.

Suspicion may also come in because she sees herself as the object of ridicule and the subject of other people’s discussion. This is going to make her withdraw further away from them into a life of complete isolation.

However, the teenager should understand that acne could be treated and cured. With proper treatment the scars could be minimized or completely eliminated. When the right persons are consulted, the right treatment could as well be gotten.

She should learn to control the way her mind reacts to her problem; this is because the problem the mind creates could be worse than the presence of the disease itself. When the mind is effectively controlled, the psychological, emotional and physical effects of the problem can be alleviated.
