Suffering acne isn’t easy and when I had severe acne it seemed the biggest challenge of my life.
Acne changes your perspective on life - I would not be the person I am today if I hadn’t experienced the pain of acne.Don’t get me wrong acne is no picnic in the park but it has made me a better person.
I’ve had bad persistent acne for around ten years (severe for 3 years) and recently, I’ve managed to get it under control. For the time being my acne cannot be cured, only managed.
Having acne has taught me a few things. It forced me to like myself for who I really am and not to be caught in the high school or celebrity in-crowd drama that revolves around being and looking perfect.
There are more important things in life than the way you look. For many young people this is hard to comprehend until you mature into adults.
Like many other problems in life, acne is a struggle – it may be very painfully at times but please remember you will come out a stronger person.
