Why should I treat my acne?

Have you ever spent hours watching makeup tutorials on how to cover up acne breakouts and/or scars? Have you considered growing a beard just to cover up breakouts and scars? Do you find yourself cringing at pictures of yourself during a really bad breakout? If these experiences sound all too relatable, then you should consider seeking professional acne treatment. Besides the fact that acne treatment can clear up your breakouts and give you clear skin, here are a few other reasons why you should treat your acne: 

• Eliminates pain points: certain types of acne can cause painful areas wherever it spreads. Some rare forms of acne can even cause unpleasant systemic symptoms. Treating your acne will decrease acne-associated discomfort and other accompanying symptoms. Besides the simple fact that nobody likes to be in pain all the time, pain caused by certain types of acne can decrease your quality of life. 

• Boosts Self-Esteem: the way you see yourself is an important part of how you interact with the world around you. Unfortunately, many people with acne tend to suffer from low-self esteem that makes them want to hide away from the world. In these cases, treating your acne can make you feel better about yourself and the way the world sees you. 

• No more social embarrassment: along with low self-esteem, some people with acne may be embarrassed to attend social events during a breakout. This can negatively affect your quality of life and can even negatively affect your relationships with loved ones. In some cases, it can lead to depression or anxiety. Seeking treatment for your acne can decrease your breakouts and allow you to focus more on enjoying social outings with the people you care about and less on your acne. 

• Increases workspace confidence: people who are confident about themselves are often confident in their work and vice versa. Feeling better about yourself means that you smile more and are more likely to engage with coworkers, which will improve workplace relationships. Not to mention, being more confident about your work can eventually lead to a promotion. 

To Sum it All Up:

Your acne should not define you, nor should it continue to negatively affect your everyday life. At the end of the day, acne is nothing more than a bully that can make you hurt, lower your self-esteem, make you feel constantly embarrassed, and hinder your everyday confidence. Instead of falling victim to the many downfalls of acne, you owe it to yourself to take a stand and try professional acne treatment with our dermatologist specialists.
