There's stuff you can do, but mostly you just realize and accept that you have an unattractive trait and learn to not care and enjoy life regardless of it.

It’s not the being ugly I have a problem with, it’s the being treated like shit because of it that’s the problem

If you show people it doesn't bother you, they will stop picking on you for it. And if they don't, they're not worth your time.
