Psychological Effects of Acne on Teens – It Can Be More Serious Than You Think
There is no doubt that acne can have psychological effects on people. However, the psychological effects of acne are not always associated to the severity of the acne. To some people, the least severe acne lesions like whiteheads and blackheads are disturbing.
If you are in your teenage years, you are more susceptible to the psychological and social impact of acne. During these years, it is no surprise if you are too concerned about developing your personality and social skills. Ironically, as a teen, you have come across with the idea that to be accepted by your peers you should have good looks and clear complexion.
To most teens, any signs of acne can make a person look less appealing. With this kind of thinking, more teenagers develop other problems associated to this skin condition.
According to some studies, teenagers with acne on their faces have low self-esteem. Due to their insecurity, these teenagers have difficulty making an eye contact during conversation. And to hide their acne, these teenagers grow their hair longer and hide their faces. In addition, heavy makeup is used at a young age.
There are also times that participation in social activities like sports is hindered due to acne. For such a young age, these teens already gave up on their dreams and their hobbies due to acne that can show up on their chest and back. Hence, even though they should be building their social skills, they are withdrawing from it instead.
More so, the psychological impact of acne worsens due to mocking of their peers. Thus, instead of boosting their self-confidence through friends, they feel unworthy and hideous. In the end, they will lack courage to engage a conversation with the opposite sex. In extreme cases, social phobia is developed and school performance is declined.
These teenagers also feel depress and cry spontaneously without a clear explanation. They feel useless and worthless, and thus they are easily misunderstood. Sadly, suicide is often the result of untreated depression.
Overall, if you feel that your acne is already interfering with your life significantly, it is wise that you treat it as soon as possible. In addition, consult with a dermatologist before handling your acne.
