Make Up And Mirrors

Centuries ago, facial acne scars were considered normal, although more so in men than in women. Women could wear makeup to cover up facial acne scars, but until a few years ago, it was not socially acceptable for men to wear thick makeup. Many actors in television, the stage and screen have been able to have a decent career even with facial acne scars, whether they have makeup on or not.

If someone makes fun of you for having a scar, then you know that person has something he or she wants to keep hidden. By pointing attention to your facial acne scar, they are really trying to stop you from finding the “scars” on them. They are so worried that they are going to be exposed to the light (their cellulite, their lies, their tax fraud or whatever) that they will try to get everyone distracted by you instead. Don’t worry – you won’t be the only one they will pick on.

Keep In Perspective

Many people have a physical problem that they think is a glaring deformity. This could be cellulite, stretch marks, chicken pox scars or surgery scars. It also could be something like having one leg shorter than the other. We might not care if one person’s leg is a half-inch shorter than the other, but to the person with the uneven legs, it’s glaring proof that they are a mutant.

This all goes to show you that we all are so worried about our own physical imperfections that most of the time we aren’t noticing anyone else’s physical imperfections. Most people probably aren’t even aware of your facial acne scars unless you mention them. If you don’t have fair skin, then your darker skin has probably hidden a lot of the scarring lumps and valleys from their eyes.

There are things you can do to treat your facial acne scars, but please see a doctor before doing anything drastic. After all, no one may see your scars except you.
