[Star Wars] Was there an awkward phase for Palpatine's​ face when it was visibly distorted due to using the Dark side but before he realized he needed to use the Sith mask?

Kind of like when a young man first starts growing facial hair but before he shaves for the first time.

Did people go up to him out of concern and say he should see a doctor?

There's never been a fully canonical answer as to whether his Sheev face was the real deal and the lightning actually melted his flesh, or if it was a mask and and he looked like what the lightning revealed.
