The stigma of acne is changing

Kids and adults alike take a social beating when they have acne.  45 million Americans have acne at any one time, making it the most common skin condition.  Since there’s a 63% increase risk of depression that comes along with skin eruptions, it’s a serious condition.  Diet, stress, genetics and skin care practices contribute to outbreaks.  Acne makes us look unhealthy and different, resulting in the social isolation that’s common in acne sufferers.  Conversations about acne aren’t out in the open as they are about psoriasis and other skin conditions.  Social influencers and celebrities are now sharing their own fights with acne and hopping on the skin positivity bandwagon. Even if acne is accepted, that won’t keep your kid from getting teased.  It’s a health condition and may require medication and other interventions.  Do something now!
