Excoriated Acne: Excessive Picking and Squeezing
Excoriated Acne. The condition excoriated entails to scratch or abrase the skin. At once when we bring in this term into the circumstance of acne we bear what is called up Excoriated Acne. This type of acne is defined by the behavior of the person sufering from it. When such a person obsessively picks and scrapes at every pimple and blemish on their skin, they are said to have excoriated acne. Because of the excessive nature of the attention given to the suferer’s skin, deep irritation can result as well as scaring.
Though it may appear to others as a mild form of acne, without pustules or nodules, to the person dealing with it, this condition may be intolerable. This almost psychological urge to get rid of one’s skin lesions or blemish can become very damaging. As such, it is recommended that a dermatologist be sought for treatment.
