The stories around acne, the way acne affects us emotionally and physically are not unique. Acne tears us apart starting from the inside, when we begin to doubt everything about who we are. It often brands us, stereotyping us. You're dirty, you're ugly and you might rub off on me. The attitude towards acne sufferers from others impacts our mental health and diminishes our self-confidence. With the millions of sufferers around the world one would think there would be a cure to the problem. Sure, there are things that seem to help for a while, but a permanent solution still eludes most of us. Acne seems to win!
