At some point, almost everyone has dealt with acne. Though it is most commonly associated with people in their teens or early twenties, the truth is that acne can affect anyone of any age.
Acne occurs when the follicles in the skin become clogged. This clog causes reactions under the skin that can lead to acne. There are different manifestations, such as “blackheads’ or “pimples’, but they tend to share the common features of being a discolored, raised area.
There can be many causes of acne. From stress to hormones produced in puberty, to excessively oily skin, or perspiration. There are even severe cases which must be treated by a dermatologist. Persistent acne should be examined by a professional to be certain it is not rosacea or eczema, which are different conditions.
The first line of defense against acne is good hygiene. Washing your face every day and using astringent can help to reduce acne. You should also be aware that irritating the acne, such as ’popping’ pimples or scratching them is very bad. This will almost always make the problem worse in the long run and may cause permanent scarring.
For moderate to severe acne, there are several products that can be used. Benzoyl peroxide is a common treatment. It causes the skin to dry out (and sometimes peel as a side effect). It is very effective for moderate acne.
Retinoids, applied as a cream to the skin, are also prescribed for moderate to severe cases of acne. This cream is a more intense version of the benzoyl peroxide and will dry the skin out to a great degree. It has the side effect of sometimes causing serious skin irritation.
For very severe cases, doctors may prescribe antibiotics to help reduce the amount of swelling and to help fight the potential infections that could occur in the pores and follicles.
There are many urban myths and advertising falsehoods that have made their way into general society. Any information that is not provided in person by a health professional should be taken with a grain of salt. Acne is a real medical condition that has real treatments. Be certain that you know what you are doing to your skin before you start using any non-prescription medications.
