See the photo below to see the excoriated acne condition. Excoriated acne is almost always associated with excessive picking, squeezing, and touching of the skin. Often, excoriated acne patients perpetuate this picking habit at the same time they are using harsh facial scrubs. They continue these habits until the lesions/excoriated acne becomes an open wound. The acne then appears as raw, open craters or wounds which are susceptible to infection.

Excoriated acne is extremely challenging because of the behaviors associated with it. Usually, the patients spend much time engaged in this picking habit or will be overly consumed with their skin and the compulsiveness of their picking. It’s a very emotional and upsetting condition, but there are good treatments plans for all forms of acne including excoriated acne. By acknowledging the picking behavior first, patients can work on modifying that behavior and working to get their acne under control.
