Do you experience having acne (or most commonly known as PIMPLES)?
It decreases our confidence, right?
Acne is an inflammation of the skin centered in the sebaceous glands. It is usually found where the sebaceous glands are most active - on the face, neck, and upper trunk. At puberty, male hormones (androgens - produced in both males and females) stimulate the increased production of sebum. Sebaceous ducts may become blocked by skin overgrowth to form a whitehead, or by plugs of sebum which darken on exposure to air, forming a blackhead. When the sebum trapped in a whitehead or blackhead is forced into the deeper skin layers an inflammatory reaction causes a red lump called a papule. If the infection follows, pus collects, and a classic pimple (pustule) is seen. When the inflammatory reaction is severe, large, painful cysts may form.
It is not clear why some people suffer from constant or frequent acne while others have it rarely or never. There seems to be an inherited tendency for skin and sebaceous glands to over-react to androgens, which explains why acne tends to run in families. Acne remains a source of misery for many young people. there are many effective treatments that can reduce the frequency and severity of eruptions. All acne sufferers should see their doctor or a dermatologist for an assessment of the most suitable treatment.
Some important points about acne:
It is definitely stress-related, so you are more likely to have a flare-up when you are under any sort of physical or emotional strain.
Avoid picking and squeezing, which may force more sebum into deep skin layers, causing increased inflammation. Fingers may also introduce infection.
You won't see the benefit of any treatment for at least six weeks, so persevere and be patient.
There is no connection at all between diet and acne, in spite of all you'll hear about it being caused by everything you like. Nevertheless, a well-balanced diet is good for everyone.
Moderate exposure to sunlight usually helps acne.
Don't scrub. Scrubbing stimulates overgrowth of skin cells, aggravating the condition. Wash twice a day with plain soap, and dry gently.
Blackheads do not result from uncleanliness or the use of cosmetics.
Disguising an unsightly spot with a water-based cover cream won't aggravate the condition and is good for your morale.
Wearing your hair in a fringe does not cause acne on the brow.
I had acne for many decades and got it solved with the right diet. A low fat veggie focused diet works by far best for me.
I cant believe you write its not about diet, its mostly about diet, all disease.
