When to See a Dermatologist vs. Self Treatment for Acne
October 20, 2019
Acne affects approximately 85% of teenagers, and estimates suggest that half of all women and 25% of all men will experience acne at some point during their lifetime. If you are fortunate enough to experience acne mildly, you may find that it doesn’t have a significant effect on your life. However, for those patients who have severe acne, it can be difficult to cope with. The psychological impact of acne can be immense, often causing anxiety and even depression. Many sufferers become introverted, developing social behavior difficulties and personal and professional relationships can deteriorate.
