Metaphor A to Z

Acne

Acne is an inflammation of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles of the skin. This skin disorder means we feel we have ‘lost face’ because of a painful experience or as a result of comparing ourselves to others.

We are dealing with self-image and self-concept issues and are struggling with self-attack and a desire to hide from social interaction.

We are feeling self-conscious and have buried resentment about some issue. We have fallen in our own estimation.
