how to get rid of acne acne-inc

Acne  has an effect on approx.85% of teenagers in some manner or another.Luckily for most it shows up only in the form of a few zits or pimples which go away after a cuople of days,and then re-appear intermittently again throughout adolescence.

For others Acne skin conditions are far more serious and long lasting, with some suffering acne spread all over their face that goes on several years from early adolescence through to early adulthood and sometimes beyond.The worst case scenario is that it leaves the unlucky sufferer pocked with scars which endure right throughout their lives.

So what is it in a nutshell and is there definitive acne treatment?

The Latin name is “Acne Vulgaris” from ‘vulgar’ meaning ‘course’ or ‘offensive’ which having suffered from Acne myself, sums up quite well how I felt about it at the time.And also summed up the offensive tones of the remarks i received from cruel classmates!

The main cause being hormonal imbalances, which is the reason it effects mostly teenagers while our bodies are trying to adjust themselves into a hopefully ‘balanced’ adulthood. In most cases it is the face that is stricken, in particul the forehead but can also appear on the back, shoulders and chest.

There are a number of other contributory factors as well, including genetics,effects of  stress, medicines, unreasonable use of drugs and dietary reasons.

Diet is probably the singlemost factor that  we can actively control, and many find oily foods, chocolate, partially skimmed milk and other dairy products such as cheese more likely to hamper the acne condition.

The reason being therefore is because milk and milk products contain traces of hormones of cow which can confuse the body’s hormone balance mechanisms, most commonly in teenagers.

Its physical symptoms are brought about because of blocks in the hair follicles when dead skin and body oils are not let out properly. This contributes towards a build up of pressure and an inflammation in the surrounding glands, leading to either and open sore (blackhead) or a closed sore (whitehead)

Well most of us anyways!

There are 2 classic types of Acne.

Cystic Acne..which is a much more serious problem than common acne and can develop into boils.

This can end up with the worst case scenario of skin scarring due to long term acne damage.

Acne Vulgaris or easier known as Common Acne.

now this isnt as serious and can be removed with medication but is still a real pain for anyone to endure!

The most common place for it to show up is on the neck and facial area.Another less public place where it can show up is on the back.

The primary cause of spots and blackheads and pimples is usually due to hormonal imbalances, which is why acne is  most prevalent to teenagers who are going through  puberty.
