Abstract This qualitative inquiry delved into the complex lived experiences of individuals in India navigating acne and its impact on social support dynamics and psychological well-being. Through subjective narratives, the study revealed profound emotional repercussions, challenges to self-perception, and sociocultural influences. Participants reported feelings of embarrassment, anxiety, and insecurity, exacerbated by societal beauty standards and external scrutiny. Familial support provided crucial emotional solace, while societal pressures, especially through social media, heightened psychological distress. Supportive peer relationships mitigated adverse effects on self-esteem. Coping strategies ranged from therapy-seeking to skincare regimens. Cultural factors and gender disparities, including male emotional invalidation, were identified. This research contributes to understanding the multidimensional challenges faced by individuals with acne in India, highlighting the need for tailored interventions promoting resilience and holistic well-being.
