Week 2

This week was all about focussing on the psychological and psychosocial impacts of acne, I read a variety of both studies as well as articles from people of whom had experienced acne. What I found really fascinating was the overwhelming feeling of isolation that was mentioned in almost ever paper.  It was really interesting as well to note the number of people acknowledging they felt abnormal, particularly when it is such an extremely common skin disorder. 

This week I also reframed my question to: 

How can communication design destigmatise acne to improve the wellbeing of acne sufferers?
