Welcome to the world of shallow people. I thought my generation was shallow, but the young kids of today have us beat.
10th grade--young adults concerned mostly about appearance and sexual activity. A deformity would make most of them uncomfortable.
You're 21 now. If you want to be included in society, make yourself as close to what the majority of people expect--keep yourself physically fit; attractive hair, makeup, and clothing. Educate yourself in a field that is in demand. Be prepared to deal with your deformity for a lifetime. If your deformity is something that can be corrected and that's the route you want to go, make sure you have the financial resources to pay for corrective surgery.

It takes more than good hygiene to make it in the world. People will reject you, whether you like it or not. Practically perfect looking people get rejected, too. It's what you do with yourself and how you build your life and positively contribute to society that will matter.
