Indian-American influencer and founder of clothing brand Svarini, Sheel Yerneni, has been transparent about her struggles with cystic acne for most of her life. The condition began when she was 12 and worsened later in her teenage years. She has tried everything, including expensive microneedling appointments and chemical peels mixed with injections, to treat her skin. Recently, she underwent Pico Laser treatment, which she described as "not for the faint of heart" due to its intense results. Yernen's candid photos reveal the side effects of the treatment and how she maintains her own sense of self-identity. She credits her journey to destigmatizing her acne in an attempt to set a positive example for other women and her future.
