The most important thing is for you and your skin to be healthy. It can be a long journey but if someone is pointing it out or commenting, that's usually a sign of their own insecurities and vanity.
What helped me is finding a way to laugh at myself because that throws people off (especially if their comments were intentionally hurtful). You laugh it of and move on.
I have a big scar on my forehead that I used to hide and be embarrassed about. It got annoying that I felt that way about something I couldn't change so I embraced it. Now if anyone points it out, I tell them a funny story how I got it. It doesn't bother me anymore and comments don't affect how I feel about it.
Love your skin and be kind to it ๐
