All About Acne 101
It is the bane of a person's existence. Everybody gets it; everybody
hates it. And once you have it, prepare to be tormented, embarrassed
and humiliated. Such a small bump, so much at stake. So what is this
little bundle of horror? What else but the dreaded pimple!
A pimple, or acne as some people calls it, is a dreaded red, swollen
bump in the face. Nobody is spared from having it. Male or female,
American, Chinese or Puerto Rican, they all have gotten it at some
points of their lives and may even still have it. It is like a
universal language; it is like a right of passage in a person's
life. Acne is a result of the hormones action on the skin's oil
glands (the sebaceous gland) which leads to clogged pores and
outbreak of lesions like pimples, blemishes or acne. Acne commonly
occurs in the neck, face, back, shoulders and chest because the
sebaceous glands are most abundant in these locations. But the
important question we should be asking to be able to avoid this
dreaded "disease" is, "What causes this pain in the neck called
acne?"
Unfortunately, the causes of acne cannot really be determined
(unless your parents or their parents are acne infested too then
there's a big, big chance you'll be called acne face by your peers
and classmates) thus the acne myths are born! These myths claim to
be the cause of acne. We shall enumerate them here.
Acne Myth Number 1
Acne is caused by not washing your face often and not scrubbing it
hard enough. Many believed that acne is caused by dirt and dust in
the face and by washing your face two-three even four times a day or
even by scrubbing your face hard can prevent acne. Wrong, wrong,
wrong! It is true that dirt and dust is unsightly to the face and
washing the face is the way to eradicate them but washing often can
actually irritate the skin more. Washing should not be done more
than twice a day. More than twice is enough to strip the face of its
natural oils making it dry. Also, scrubbing can cause inflammations.
Washing the face should be done as gently as possible with the
gentlest facial scrub.
Acne Myth Number 2
Improper Diet can cause acne. Certain foods that are oily like
French fries and junk food can cause acne to erupt in our face. But
scientific studies have not discovered any connection between these
two. So this means that food does not cause acne. Though a proper
and healthy diet is always good for our system, eating like a pig
won't make pimples a permanent resident in your face. So feel free
to eat your favorite Lay's, French fries and chocolates anytime.
Acne Myth Number 3
When you're stressed acne tends to pop on your face like popcorn
pops from a kernel. Not true. Stress is a part of our daily lives
and believe it or not it is not a contributing factor to the acne
residing in your face. Only severe stress treated by the doctor MAY
cause acne to erupt only as a side effect of the drugs a person may
be taking. If this is the case, consult your doctor immediately.
