Dealing With Acne
Many people find it hard to believe that you can suffer with acne at any age and do not have to be a teenager.
While it is true that acne will often become apparent during the formative years, many people do in fact find it a temporary condition although as many as nine in every ten people will suffer with at some point in their lives.
Acne is the result of clogged hair follicles, caused by the overproduction of sebum, which is from the sebaceous glands but oil alone doesn't clog pores nor does oily skin necessarily equal acne.
Acne seems to be a condition that is not necessarily a natural one and something that past generations did not suffer with.
Among the many causes of clogged pores are the use of makeup, everyday air particles and often a simple case of hormonal changes but while acne is a part of life for many individuals, it can be effectively treated.
Other factors can be responsible to, like the consumption of too much junk and reprocessed food, which is high in unhealthy sugars.
In more serious cases of acne, some of the proprietary treatments may not be effective and it may be necessary to see a dermatologist.
Once a dermatologist has been consulted then he will check on the effectiveness of the medication on a regular basis and monitor to see whether other treatment is necessary.
The person suffering with acne must remember not to scratch at or attempt to remove and pimples as any bacteria carried beneath the nails could cause further infection.
Germs and bacteria are not normally seen by the naked eye so just because the fingernails look clean does not actually mean they are.
So wherever possible, it is advisable to keep the hands, especially fingernails away from any acne spots.
As very few people have completely blemish free skin, there is a good chance that if you haven't had acne that you may well experience it at some stage especially if your parents suffered with it as well.
Although the likelihood is that you will suffer from acne during your years at school and college.
If necessary, acne sufferers should consult a dermatologist or qualified physician for acne treatment.
