With my work I want to make scientific disclosure about acne, a skin disease that affects many young and less young people and can cause social and even psychological problems for those affected. In generally, I also want to help people to have more information about this disease, so be less inopportune and do not make bad figures with people who suffer like me!
Finally, I also want to propose to them to live this disease in a different way: try to laugh at it like I did!
My comic is called Pois. the title refers to the polka dots I have on my face: the signs of my acne.
In fact, the comic shows some events concerning my acne, which I tell in a comic way. For example the questions of children who do not know this skin disease and think that I have polka dots, freckles or chickenpox!
Or the comic situations when university professors treat me with tenderness, believing that I am a young student of the first year, instead they are among the oldest of the course and are at the end of my studies!
Or some ladies met on public transport or on the stada have offered me to do strange treatments, for example to put in the face strange packs, which sound like "magic potions" made with natural herbs!

My comic consists of brief comic anecdotes that have happened to me. These episode are told briefly through comic comics.
First of all, I'll start to make some sketches. Then I'll produce the definitive cartoons.
