Acne‏

What Is Acne? Acne lesions, pimples or zits happen when the hair follicles or pores on the skin become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. A plugged follicle is the ideal place for bacteria to grow and create the red bumps and pus-filled bumps known as pimples. In other words, acne is the result of obstructed sebaceous follicles characterized by blackheads, nodules and eruptions of papules, pustules and nodulocystic lesions. These lesions are most commonly found in areas with the greatest concentration of sebaceous glands, like your face, neck, and upper part of your trunk.

Controlling Acne Acne affects a big part of teenagers and many adults well into middle age. It is dreaded by most who suffer from this common but uncomfortable skin condition. Clearing acne begins by understanding what acne really is and what triggers it. Your skin needs to be cleansed, fed and nurtured but one thing you shouldn't do is to load up your face with masks or fancy lotions as they may irritate your skin further, making the scars red and even more noticeable your skin will benefit from a simple and healthy way of living along with some form of acne treatment. If you like cosmetics, choose products that are labeled noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic as they won't clog your pores or cause breakouts. Some cosmetics even contain acne-fighting ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. Using too much medicine to zap zits can dry and irritate your skin. Whether you are using something prescribed by a doctor or you bought an acne product at your local drugstore, be sure to follow the directions carefully.

What Causes Acne? The accurate reason for acne is not known yet; however, doctors believe that there are many different factors that cause acne. Increase in hormone levels is one of the main factors. These hormones known as androgens I.E. Male sex organs, raises in girls as well as boys in puberty causes the sebaceous glands to grow and produce more sebum. Genetics and heredity is another factor causing acne. It is believed by researchers that the propensity of developing acne can be hereditary. For instance, it has been concluded in studies that several school-age boys that have acne actually have inherited it according to their family history. Environment and stress may also contribute to the development and severity of acne. Acne can persist for years and result in permanent scarring. Treatment of active acne lesions may reduce potential acne scarring that can occur in severe cases.

Acne Myths

Myth: Popping Your Pimples Is the Best Way to Get Rid of Them Wrong! Stay away from that mirror! Popping your pimples pushes germs further under your skin, which can cause more redness, pain and infection. Popping zits can lead to scarring, which could last forever.

Myth: Stress Causes Acne Nope! The normal everyday stress doesn't cause acne. If you're going through an especially stressful period in your life, your skin may produce more oil, also known as sebum but that doesn't mean you'll get more zits.

Myth: Tanning Clears Up Acne Toasting under the sun does nothing to improve or get rid of your acne. Spending time outside makes your skin become darker, the redness caused by acne may be less noticeable for a little while, but when you lose color, you will see your zits again. Exposure to sun without proper protection can dry, burn and irritate your skin increasing risks of developing wrinkles and skin cancer.

Myth: You Can Get Rid of Acne by Washing Your Face Often Over washing or scrubbing too often or too hard can dry out and irritate your skin, which only makes acne worse. Washing your face no more than twice a day with a mild soap or cleanser is good because it helps remove dead skin cells, excess oils, and dirt from the surface. Pat your skin with a clean soft towel and steer clear of scrubs, which can irritate your pimples.

Myth: That Is What You Get for Eating Junk! We encourage healthy eating habits at the skin center of the triangle, but no connection has been found between acne and poor diets. After numerous studies, experts have concluded that candy and food have no relation and that chocolate, pizza, french-fries and other junk foods have absolutely no connection to acne.
