Negative perceptions about acne can have a negative impact
Acne can happen to anyone and is caused by various things. But now there are many perceptions and assumptions that are spread about acne which actually make people misunderstand, so that it can adversely affect the health of the person.
This is evidenced in a study conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology which conducted a survey related to the perception and understanding of acne. The volunteers who participated in the study were then given a photo of acne and they were asked to rate and express their feelings when they saw the photo. From this experiment, it was found that as many as 62% of volunteers felt disappointed and sad when they saw the photo of the zit. While the rest, feel sorry for people who experience these zits.
In another survey, it was also found that 41% of the research respondents stated that they were not comfortable having to appear in public with someone who had facial pimples. While 44.6% of respondents - in different surveys - stated if they were uncomfortable if they had to touch someone who had acne on their face.
Of course this perception causes someone who has acne on his face to become insecure, embarrassed, and increasingly trying hard to cure acne on his face. Meanwhile, acne treatment takes a long time. This condition will affect one's self-confidence and can even result in someone feeling depressed and depressed because they have pimples on their face.
Many people still misunderstand acne on the face
In addition to the negative perceptions that arise in the community, a wrong understanding of acne can worsen the condition of acne itself. Here are some important things you know about acne.
1. Acne is not only because of poor hygiene
From the survey that has been conducted, it is known that as many as 55.4% of respondents consider that acne on the face is caused by the habit of washing the face that is not clean. In fact, facial washing habits are not the main reason for acne.
Because many people think this way, many people often rub their faces hard every time they wash their face. Or the person will wash his face more often. In fact, this can actually aggravate the condition of acne and can cause facial sores.
2. Acne cannot be transmitted
Of the total volunteers who participated in the survey, as many as 50% of the volunteers answered that facial pimples can occur because they are contagious and transmitted. Unlike infectious diseases, acne cannot be transmitted. Acne is a skin disease that is very common due to hormones and various other things. So, don't worry or keep away from social life if you have acne.
3. Acne is also not from food
The main cause of acne is not food. But as many as 37.5% of volunteers answered that facial pimples arise because the food is eaten. Indeed the food you eat can aggravate the acne condition on your face. But still not the main cause. If someone considers acne to be due to food, it is not impossible that he will change his diet. In fact, changing your diet without knowing good terms and principles will actually have a negative effect on your health.
