Quick Summary:

  • Acne is a common skin condition that causes inflamed, red spots/lesions to appear on the face, neck, shoulders, and other regions. The condition occurs when the tiny pilosebaceous follicles become clogged with dead cells and oil
  • Acne Excoriée develops when the acne lesions are subjected to physical trauma, such as picking or scratching, which may result in infection and severe scarring. The condition is also referred to as Picker’s Acne
  • Acne Excoriée may be termed as an aggravated form of acne; the term ‘excoriated’ is used to describe the removal/damage of skin by picking, scratching, or scraping
  • It is mostly observed in individuals obsessed with eliminating their pimples by picking. This practice of ‘acne skin picking’ has been  said to be seen more in females, both young and older. It is also seen in males.
  • Depending on the severity of the condition, Acne Excoriée may be treated with the use of creams and gels, skin surgery, and even laser therapy
  • If there is an underlying psychiatric condition, such as anxiety or depression, then suitable therapy (counseling and medications) may be necessary to treat the same

The prognosis of Acne Excoriée is generally excellent with adequate treatment, although severe forms of the condition may result in extensive skin scarring and cosmetic disfigurement requiring more intensive treatment
