Acne - now there's a four letter word.

2007-04-06T00:02:00.000-07:00

Acne - now there's a four letter word. During my teen years I was the Prince of acne and for good reason. I was the face of acne, pun intended. I had it all, blackheads, whiteheads, you name it it was there. And If the scorn of my peers (especially the girls) was one thing, the impossibility of getting rid of the hideous acne I had was quite another thing altogether.

The myths and fairy tales surrounding acne didn't help either. My family members firmly believed that acne was a result of poor (or more specifically, junk) diet. Yes, I will admit that I, like any other team, enjoy my fair share of junk food, but I wasn t too sure that eating out was the cause of my acne. I mean, a lot of my buddies ate out with me, and what s more, ate the same junk food even more frequently than I did, but they had little or no acne. Something had to be wrong with conventional wisdom right? I had seen the myth being shattered right before my eyes. And I'm sure you've heard the one about chocolate causing pimples. And since I loved chocolate in all of its glorious forms, I would have found giving it up, even at the risk of remaining acne king, an unimaginable cruelty. But having done my homework and checking news and medical reports on the subject, I soon found to my great relief that chocolate consumption had nothing absolutely nothing to do with acne.

My friends and classmates weren't a lot of help either. Most of them, hinted with delightful sarcasm, that my acne advertisement face was a result of my inordinately frequent happen of masturbating. Hell, for a while there even I thought it was true. But then I quickly realized that this was yet another myth. Well I'm starting to learn actually, if by no other means than by the process of elimination. For if my acne was linked to my masturbation, was I to conclude that my male friends who had no acne at all did not masturbate? I would have sooner believe that they were from another planet! So, that was another acne myth dispelled.

Another myth that I did believe, and which made perfect sense and even sounded scientific at that time, was the accumulation of dirt on my face that blocked my pores. But if that was a case then why didn't my arms and legs, which more regularly came into contact with dirt, have acne all over them? In any case, I spent several days, weeks and months meticulously scrubbing my face with a variety of soaps and anti acne lotions in a bid to get rid of my acne, to no avail. Finally, I gave in to a fatalistic attitude and reasoned that the more I stressed myself out thinking about my acne, the worse the problem would become. It was at that point that I gave up bothering about my acne filled face. And guess what? A few short years later, as I slowly climbed out of my adolescence, the acne magically disappeared on its own! Although there are still a few tell tale scars of my acne prince days, for the most part you would never know they were there!

Acne begins as a whitehead or a blackhead. These are uninfected comedones. The gland is full of sebum and the gland is clogged. If treated at this stage, the acne will resolve easily without any scar. But many times it gets infected and becomes a big pimple full of pus. Stop that happening with these easy steps.

Acne- how it gets infected?

A bacterium called P.acnes lives on our skin. Normally this bacterium makes no harm to us. If this bacterium is given a warm close place full of sebum, it loves that and multiplies there. This happens in acne. The sebaceous gland is the ideal place for the bacteria in acne and the bacteria multiplies inside that. When white cells kill the bacteria, you see the pus filled acne. We should stop giving the bacteria a place to thrive. Let us see how.

1. Treat the blackheads and whiteheads immediately with either Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. They will both unclog the gland. Consult your doctor about using tretinoin at this stage itself. Use AHAs around the affected area to remove dead cells faster and remove the top affected layer of the skin. Your doctor will draw a treatment program for you.

2. Ask your doctor if you can use a mild antibiotic along with other topical treatments to kill the bacteria before it grows. Kill all the bacteria before it multiplies. Generally we use antibiotic after getting infected. In this case, ask your doctor if you should use one as preventive.

3. Keep your hands clean and wash your face with a good acid balanced cleanser or an AHA based cleanser. Don't over clean the skin. Clean it two to three times a day. Don't touch the spots. That may infect them. Trying to remove the comedones may also infect them. Consult your doctor and if needed he/she will pull it out.

Scalp acne can be a very distressing problem but it is also one that not a lot of people are aware of due to a lack of publicity. Scalp acne is not as common as some of the other types of acne such as facial acne but it is still very distressing for the sufferer. Although it is concealed to a certain extent it can be more obvious when it is at the edge of the hair.

Some types of scalp acne can be quite mild and many people will go to the pharmacist and buy something to use themselves for this. Although it is possible to have a very mild type of scalp acne, there are also more severe types that require treatment on a more professional basis. If you are at all worried about your scalp acne or if it is irritating then it is best to see a dermatologist. They can help you to choose the best way of treating it so that you do not suffer from too much itchiness.

Scalp acne can be just as irritating as any other type of acne to the sufferer and it can easily be made worse by using the wrong type of hair products. It is always best to ask the pharmacies for a recommendation before buying any hair care products if you think that you might have scalp acne. It is important to make sure that the hair is kept clean because too much oil on the scalp can also be bad for this type of acne.

One change that you can make yourself is to make sure that your diet is good. It is best to avoid too many fatty foods because they contain a lot of oil and this is not good for anyone that suffers from acne. You should try to eat a well balanced diet that has enough fresh fruit and vegetables in it and you should also avoid eating too many sugary things and make sure that you drink enough water.

If you think that you might be suffering from scalp acne then it is very important to see your dermatologist or doctor as soon as possible this way they can start to treat the condition before it gets any worse. These conditions are usually best treated as early as possible and if you see your doctor early then they can recommend you to a dermatologist

Acne, is it a symptom of stress? The connection between acne and stress has been debated for a long time. To date, research on the subject have been limited with no real conclusions being reached. Recently, scientists conducted studies on a small group of students who suffered from acne. From those studies they were able to determine that acne did appear to worsen in situations of extreme stress such as when the students were preparing for final exams.

The fact that stress exasperates acne is not surprising to the millions who suffer from it. But, does stress cause acne? That has not been proven. Many people associate the appearance or worsening of their acne with a stressful time in their life.

What is known is that stress can cause your adrenal glands to produce the male hormones, testosterone and androgens. Yes, women's bodies do produce male hormones. These male hormones in turn, cause the sebaceous glands, located at the base of the hair follicles, to produce more sebum. The production of this oily substance, combine with dead skin cells, clogs pores and may trigger acne outbreaks.

One fact is not debatable. Acne may be a symptom of stress but...acne can cause stress too! Just ask a teenager who is avoiding a date due to new acne pimples 'popping up' over night or an adult frantically trying to 'cover' a huge new blemish just before a job interview.

Acne can have a very negative impact on a person's life. People with acne often suffer from embarrassment and low self-esteem. They fear that people will believe the myth that poor hygiene causes acne. There is absolutely no truth in that misguided notion yet many still believe it. Those people are uninformed.

In a world where so much value is placed on beauty, a poor complexion can lead to a devastating loss of self-confidence. Anger, frustration and depression may also occur sometimes leading to social withdrawal.

Since we know that the relationship between acne and stress does exist, stress management may be one effective way to help control acne outbreaks.
There are so many options available for acne treatment today that no one should have to isolate themselves to avoid embarrassment. Talk to your doctor. Discuss your feelings of anxiety and learn all that you can about acne. With a little emotional support and an effective skin care program, you can set yourself free.

T-zone, the acne picture

You may think that acne outbreak is evenly distributed on your face.

Well, that s not the case. The area in the face called T-zone is the most susceptible part to acne. It is the acne picture.

The acne picture or T-zone is located on the face extending from the top middle part of the forehead and across from left to right in the shape of the crossbar of the T . The zone continues down past the nose and onto the chin in the shape of the base of a T . This area is where acne breakouts occur first and if controlled causes little alarm.

Reasons for the outbreaks in this area are numerous. Here are some of them:

1. Constant touching of the face with dirty hands. People have no idea how many times a day they touch their faces, but once aware of the condition begin to break the habit. Touching or rubbing worsen acne on the face and brings more outbreaks. Because of this you are making the best acne picture.

2. Stress is a factor in acne pictures and the first place you find a pimple is either on the chin or nose. The T zone is most sensitive and the flare-up will spread quickly throughout this area if not kept clean.

3. The T zone is where you will find most of your acne due to the amount of oil and bacteria that collects there. The contour of the face is enabling bacteria and oil to congregate in the crevices and corners around the eyes, lips, chin and corners of the nose.

4. Almost everyone has more than one skin type in the T zone.

Everyone s skin is different and in the T zone most people have all the skin types somewhere along the entire strip. You will find a combination of oily, dry or normal skin.

Controlling acne in the zone may be cumbersome using different methods on various spots, but in order to control outbreaks a routine needs to be followed. Here are some tips to control acne picture.

Wash your face gently using plenty of warm to hot water with extra clean fingertips. Use a mild soap that contains no oil-based ingredients. Wash at least twice a day. If you finish your regimen with cold water, it will help shrink the pores and close anything that is open.

Dry your face with a clean towel or sterile gauze square after it is washed. Rubbing will spread any infections as well as remove any natural moisture that needs to remain on the face.

There are antibacterial cleansers and sealers available across the counter or from makeup specialists to use after washing. This activity closes the pores and protects the face, back, arms or chest from the environment.

Hydrate your skin, especially in the winter to maintain moisture and neutralize the skin types.

If you have oily skin, wipe the oil from the T zone and keep it freshened.

Acne scars are marks that remain on the skin long after an outbreak has disappeared. These marks will not heal by themselves. Often, special treatment is required to remove the scars. Scarring is very common with severe acne sufferers, especially teenagers. There are many treatments available to reduce the severity of scars both new and old.

General tips
First of all, it is very important not to pick, squeeze or disturb acne in any way. This includes white heads and black heads. By picking or squeezing, bacteria will be spread to other parts of the body causing further spread of the infection. By disturbing acne, you will increase the chances of permanent scarring to the area.

If acne is mild, simple precautions can be taken to reduce the chance of scarring. Keeping the skin clean and self-administering medication when required can do this.

Severe acne, on the other hand, cannot be treated effectively by merely self-administering medication. The services of a professional dermatologist will provide a solution. In many cases, treatment may be in the form of prescribed oral medications, topical ointments or, in the severest cases, physical methods such as draining the infected nodules. A dermatologist can also assist in the removal of black heads and white heads.

It is important to keep in mind that your dermatologist is a highly trained professional who uses sterile instruments in a controlled area when treating acne. It is not advisable to try treating yourself as it is likely you will do more harm than good.

Treatment For Existing Scars
There are very effective methods of treating scars that are a result of severe acne. The two main treatments used are:
Chemical peels. This treatment will remove the top layer of skin and assist in the rejuvenation of the cells underneath.
Laser Dermabrasion treatments remove the surface of the scar in order for a new layer of unscarred skin to replace it. Laser dermabrasion is used for very severe scarring. Numbing of the area will make the procedure less uncomfortable.

If you suffer from acne it is best to keep the area clean at all times. If the condition becomes severe or becomes painful it is advisable to seek the help of a dermatologist to assist in the treatment of acne. The best cure for unsightly acne scars is prevention.

Whenever possible, you should use natural acne treatments to clear your acne. Natural treatments avoid the side effects and cost of expensive acne products and procedures. However, that s not all, if you continue to follow your natural regimen, you will continue to eliminate those conditions that cause you acne.

One of the worst problems associated with acne is scarring. This causes emotional stress that may be far worse than the physical problems associated with acne. When acne problems begin to surface, your first reaction is to spend more money on an acne treatment. That gets expensive.

The skin is the biggest organ of the body. It helps the other body organs to eliminate waste. Therefore, one of the best natural treatments for acne involves your diet. If you eat healthy foods, you will have a much better chance of avoiding acne breakouts.

On the other hand, if you eat a lot of junk food and chocolate, your skin will show it. Frequently, your skin is a reflection of an unhealthy inside. Instead of eating chips and chocolate, drink naturally sweetened fruit juices and lots of water. Consider foods that are lower in fat.

In addition to a change in your diet, avoid irritating your skin. Don t pick at your pimples or zits. Always wash your skin with a mild soap. Wear loose clothing so your skin can get as much air as possible. Try to avoid stressful situations.

Although it is true that some people will require medication, the majority of the people who suffer from acne will benefit from a natural acne treatment.

Interestingly enough, anyone you ask about the severity of their acne feels they have the worst acne in the world. In actuality, men usually have more problems with scarring in the long term with acne because they have more oily-prone skin and certainly skin that is of a thicker nature. When an infected acne lesion occurs in a man's skin, the sheer thickness of skin and the factors involved in the healing process often delay healing, which may lead to more permanent, visible scarring.

On the other hand, women experience more changes in their sex hormone concentrations due to monthly cycles. As a result, women are more likely to have acne at a certain age or at certain times than men. Both women and men have a higher risk of getting acne in the teenage or active hormone years than do men or women over age 30.

Does Stress Cause Acne?

2007-02-10T05:02:00.000-08:00

Stress is not one of the causes of acne per se. Stress does stimulate our body enzyme and immune systems to cause a stimulation of the oil glands. It has been proven that lowering stress levels certainly can help to decrease oil production, and thus decrease the symptoms of acne.

The number of over-the-counter products available for the prevention and treatment of acne are numerous. Some of these products have been developed to reduce the chances of the development of acne by including substances designed to unclog the pores. There are also cleansers, which are designed to do a simple job - cleanse the skin and remove excess oils and dirt to help control breakouts. While it's true that some over-the-counter products are somewhat helpful for the treatment of acne, it's also true that some of these could harm your skin.

Among the most popular products used to cleanse the skin is soap. Although this product might be helpful for some people, it also can aggravate the acne afflicted areas depending on your skin type, skin sensitivity, and actual acne condition. So, if you plan to use a cleanser it is very important that you get one that will work best with your skin type, skin sensitivity, and acne condition. This will help you avoid further irritation to your skin and will promote faster healing. For instance, if your skin is oily, it is recommended you use soaps that are practically oil-free, as products containing a substantial amount of oil will add oil to your skin, causing the pores to become clogged and subsequent breakouts to occur. On the other hand, if you have sensitive skin, you'd better stay away from fragrant soaps for the chemicals in them can cause breakouts too.

Another popular over-the-counter product that can cause negative effects on your acne condition is cosmetics. It has been reported that certain makeup products contain chemicals that can cause breakouts. This is due to the clogging of the pores and irritation of the skin produced by these products. So, if you didn't know about this, you might want to find out what is in your cosmetic products from now on. This is especially true in the case that recently you've been suffering more breakouts than normal or if you've been feeling something is irritating your skin. The answer to all of this might be in your cosmetics. Nowadays, you can easily find lots of information about the cosmetic products you buy - about its ingredients, what they should be used for, and even the skin type it works best on! With all this information, there's no reason why you shouldn't find some good cosmetics for your skin. However, you must get those that won't worsen your acne. The recommended cosmetics for acne sufferers are cosmetics that are non-cometigenic. These cosmetics won't clog your pores.

Again, keep in mind to always choose your acne products carefully. If you'd like to be consistent, you might even want to try sticking to one brand for your daily regimen. When you use a specific line of products that has been designed to work together it will help you promote healing and prevention in the same way. Avoid harsh, over-the-counter products that can irritate your skin. And don't forget that, in case any product irritates your skin simply stop its use immediately and find one that doesn't. As an ultimate solution, consult a physician if the use of over-the-counter hygiene products isn't doing the trick.

When washing your skin, always do it gently. But never over wash your skin as this can cause it to become irritated and breakouts to occur. No matter how hard you try but simply over washing your skin will not remove any more dirt and oil but will only cause irritation. Also, stop squeezing your pimples. The only thing you'll accomplish if you pinch your pimples is to cause the bacteria to go deeper within the skin. And this in turn will cause the area around the pimple to become irritated and inflamed. To alleviate the problem and bring out the pus, the best solution is to cleanse the area and use a toner instead.

How would you know if you are suffering from acne rosacea?

Are you experiencing irritation around your face, neck back, chest and scalp?

Well, maybe you are suffering from acne rosacea.
Some symptoms of acne rosacea is that the skin on your face is turning dry, burning and even itching.
Absence of blackheads is a sign of acne rosacea.

Acne rosacea is a troublesome and persistent skin condition, which is a little different from other acne conditions. There are a few things you should know about it.

Unfortunately for women, they are more likely to be affected than men. This condition can be inherited and may even affect the eyes, which tend to turn red. Eyelids may also be affected.

As far as the effects on your eyes are concerned, it doesn t matter much whether you re a man or a woman.

The effect of this condition on the eyes is also called ocular rosacea, which includes conjunctivitis and disturbances of the cornea. Mighty uncomfortable, but fortunately, the condition can be treated.

Generally, it is been observed that fair skinned people are more likely to suffer from acne rosacea, but there s not much proof of this. The condition is not so evident in black people, because of the color of their skins, so that obvious symptoms do not show up easily.

The kind of flush that shows up from time to time is similar to the way the skin appears after a person has had a drink, or eaten hot food because the skin becomes extremely reddish.

Although acne rosacea normally affects adults aged between 30 and 60, most adults who suffer from it have been between the ages of 51 and 60. At the other extreme, it s also been found in young children aged between 1 and 2.

Sometimes it is the ocular symptoms that show up first, which can be misleading and delay the diagnosis of this condition. In fact, it is really important to have your condition diagnosed as soon as possible. If you delay, it could become severe.

Complications can result in the cornea developing scratches or even holes. Even so, treatment has been quite effective.

You can get relief from acne rosacea by using the facial cleanser or antibacterial cleanser, which are very effective and act fast. These two products act against bacteria and remove fatty acids from the skin. There is also an inhibiting gel and a special moisturizer, which retard the production of oil in the skin.

Acne rosacea can also be treated by laser as well as by applying different kinds of peels to the face.

It can also be treated by a photofacial. The photofacial process, which is also called photo rejuvenation, is carried out by using intense pulsed light, has the effect of reviving the skin and giving it a more youthful appearance. About five treatments are required and are carried out over the space of about three weeks. Each session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. You may have to deal with side effects such as redness, swelling or blisters, but they ll pass off in time.

Microdermabrasion is another treatment for acne rosacea, which is a quick and safe way to treat the upper layers of the skin. Between five and twelve sessions may be required, and you should follow up your treatment according to your own convenience. The more sessions you have, the less you ll require later. There s no problem with recovery and you can be back on your feet very quickly.

So if you are unfortunate enough to have developed this condition, rest assured that there are quite a few ways in which you can get relief from acne rosacea.

I have read with a tinge of sadness

2007-01-31T01:01:00.000-08:00

I have read with a tinge of sadness the numerous articles about acne. My sadness stems from the fact that many don t seem to get it. But I ll say it one more time because it is that important.

Acne originates from diet. There I said it again.

The foundation from which acne makes it appearance stems from diet. I say this again, you are what you eat. Its as simple as that. Our problem could be that we are missing the forest because there are too many trees.

Don t look for the complex explanation for why acne makes its appearance. Look to the simple explanation first.

If your light bulb goes out when you re in bed reading, do you immediately call the electrician? No of course you don t. You check to see whether the bulb has blown first. If the bulb is intact, then you check the fuse box right?

Why are we so bent on finding some complex explanation for the cause of acne. Its staring you right in the face.

Understand this; if you sit down to a daily meal of hamburger and french fries, what do you expect to happen? You are supposed to eventually get acne.

Grease and dead meat?

What else do you expect?

The amount of cholesterol in that meal is transferred to your body. It goes to work, slowly but surely setting you up for heart disease, cancer, stroke etc.

Its all in your diet!

Whenever acne rears its ugly whiteheads, the rot has already set in. Acne is a sign of poor food choices. Acne is a certain barometer that the internal body chemistry is unbalanced.

A friend of mine was explaining to me recently how people got acne. He essentially said that the body has a hormone called, (glad I m writing this), dihydro-testosterone, or more simply DHT. He also told me that everyone has oil glands under the skin. We re on the same page so far.

He went on to tell me that acne occurs when the oil glands under the skin secretes so much oil that the oil clogs the pores.

This DHT is the bad boy in the chain reaction because it over stimulates the oil glands. They in turn produce too much oil, from the over stimulation.

Once the pores are sufficiently blocked and clogged, whiteheads and blackheads and pimples erupt into acne. So the trick then, is to control DHT isn t it?

At this juncture, I am unsure of the drug used for tackling DHT. In all honesty I don t even know if there is such a drug.

Before I go any further, my hat is off to the fine researchers who sleuthed this entire scenario. I m a firm believer that acne erupts this way. Far be it from me to disbelieve the scientists. They have so much more education than me.

I do have a question though?

When do they advise to take this acne wonder drug?

When acne appears? In that case it s a bit late.

If they advise to take it on a consistent basis, then I must seriously ask about the side effects?

My friends, lets stop the games, the solution lies in diet.

Look, DHT over stimulates the oil glands in the first place because there is an internal imbalance that needs to be addressed. Address the internal imbalance and DHT will do what it s rightly supposed to do.

I take the view that we are wonderfully created. No mistakes, and certainly no imbalances. If there is an imbalance, we need to look at what we re doing.

Rosacea is not a rosy state of affairs for your face. It has the appearance of bad acne. It normally selects cheeks, the best part of your face, for its unpleasant operation. You have severe redness and soaring of the skin. Mouth and forehead are the other favorite spots for rosacea. Even the best of acne treatments prescribed can not assure you of a permanent rosacea cure.

This is another pro-women disease. It attacks women more than the men. Normally it visits you after the age of 30, but this is not the thumb rule. It can surprise you at any time. Moreover this skin culprit is hereditary in nature.

Since its presence is very strong, visible and prominent, it may lead you to an awkward situation. There is no definite cure for rosacea. But several treatment options can be tried. So always take a final decision about the treatment in consultation with your dermatologist only.

Correct diagnosis in suspected case of rosacea is necessary, to find out whether it is actually rosacea. If it actually is, the dermatologist will decide the line of treatment suitable to the type of your rosacea attack.

Till date, pulsed light technology or laser technology is considered as the best treatment for rosacea. Rosacea causes redness of the skin. Laser heats the skin to the level that reduces or eliminates the redness. Most of the over the counter products do not go well with its treatment. So the best person to decide upon the right rosacea treatment for you is your dermatologist.

What is agonizing about rosacea is that it appears not as one to one cyst. It is characterized by reddish discoloration of the facial skin, the targeted areas being cheeks, nose and the forehead.

Since it targets the fair-skinned people more, its presence is prominently exhibited. Along with rosacea, pimples too may make their presence, but no whiteheads or blackheads will appear. Some of the implications of rosacea are frightening.

Initially, redness comes and goes, as if rosacea is doing rehearsals. Treat it at this stage itself, otherwise you are inviting more damage to your facial skin. Puffy cheeks and disfigurement of the nose are not uncommon, if you neglect the treatment.

In such a situation, cosmetic surgery is the only alternative. Severe cases of rosacea can even impair your vision. You are lucky, if your dermatologist is able to identify the root cause of your rosacea condition, in the first stage of attack.

Acne scar treatment options

Having acne is not the only problem that is posing major threats to teens and adults alike. Scarring of this acne can also be a serious problem. When this happens, you need some effective and affordable acne scar treatment.

Scars from acne can have a serious effect on a person's self-esteem and emotional state. Fortunately there have been advances in the treatment of acne-related scarring in recent years. However, it is important to note that nothing will completely heal most scars.

Laser Therapy - Using lasers for acne scar treatment is a relatively new technology, but is one of the most effective options for severe cases. The lasers remove the scarred skin, and encourage growth of new skin in its place. After treatment, the skin will be pink and swollen for a week or so Laser scar treatment can be expensive, but may be appropriate for severe cases.

Surgical Therapy - This form of acne scar treatment uses a motorized blade, which usually contains diamond particles. Diamonds are extremely strong abrasives when in a powder-form. A scab will form once the procedure is completed. Once it is healed, a smoother pink layer of new skin is underneath. Multiple treatments are often necessary, and each one can cost $1500.

Creams and Gels - There are many topical treatments that claim to reduce the appearance of scars. Many contain Vitamin E and other nutrients. Results with topical ointments like this will vary from person to person.

Collagen Injection - This is a temporary fix, where the patient's own body fat or collagen is injected into the scar site. This works well for some people with deep scars. The material injected serves to raise the skin, and reduce the scar s appearance, and wrinkling from the scar. However, this procedure needs to be repeated every 6 months and can be expensive.

Lack of hormones during later years and especially for women, can play a role in acne scar treatment and prevention.

One recent study showed that about 50 percent of women have acne, referred to as hormonal acne, problems during the week before their menstruation. Treatment options can include topical retinoids, oral antibiotics and Benzoyl Peroxide for teen years.

On into adult years, some acne scar treatment includes oral contraceptives or hormonal birth control pills and hormonal replacement therapy for women, combined with systemic or topical treatments, prescription or over-the-counter products and medications, and antibiotics for both sexes.

A healthy skin regimen should include no harsh scrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause possible skin irritation or possible over production of oil in respond to skin s dehydration.

Products with gentle exfoliation ingredients are good acne scar treatment.

Skip alcohol products can take off the top layer of your skin and cause your glands to product more oil, clogging pores in the process.

If you do spot acne-troubled areas, do not handle it harshly with them. Remember that these are already weeks in the making, and squeezing or picking blemishes can force the infected area to regress back inside, further troubling the region and possibly leave a scar.

If necessary, seek help from a dermatologist for alternative acne scar treatments.

Acne scars can cause further infection because the skin is open for bacteria. It is best to avoid developing acne scars by proper skin handling or if you already have them, have an effective acne scar treatment.

Rosacea is not a rosy state of affairs

2007-01-20T18:01:00.000-08:00

Rosacea is not a rosy state of affairs for your face. It has the appearance of bad acne. It normally selects cheeks, the best part of your face, for its unpleasant operation. You have severe redness and soaring of the skin. Mouth and forehead are the other favorite spots for rosacea. Even the best of acne treatments prescribed can not assure you of a permanent rosacea cure.

This is another pro-women disease. It attacks women more than the men. Normally it visits you after the age of 30, but this is not the thumb rule. It can surprise you at any time. Moreover this skin culprit is hereditary in nature.

Since its presence is very strong, visible and prominent, it may lead you to an awkward situation. There is no definite cure for rosacea. But several treatment options can be tried. So always take a final decision about the treatment in consultation with your dermatologist only.

Correct diagnosis in suspected case of rosacea is necessary, to find out whether it is actually rosacea. If it actually is, the dermatologist will decide the line of treatment suitable to the type of your rosacea attack.

Till date, pulsed light technology or laser technology is considered as the best treatment for rosacea. Rosacea causes redness of the skin. Laser heats the skin to the level that reduces or eliminates the redness. Most of the over the counter products do not go well with its treatment. So the best person to decide upon the right rosacea treatment for you is your dermatologist.

What is agonizing about rosacea is that it appears not as one to one cyst. It is characterized by reddish discoloration of the facial skin, the targeted areas being cheeks, nose and the forehead.

Since it targets the fair-skinned people more, its presence is prominently exhibited. Along with rosacea, pimples too may make their presence, but no whiteheads or blackheads will appear. Some of the implications of rosacea are frightening.

Initially, redness comes and goes, as if rosacea is doing rehearsals. Treat it at this stage itself, otherwise you are inviting more damage to your facial skin. Puffy cheeks and disfigurement of the nose are not uncommon, if you neglect the treatment.

In such a situation, cosmetic surgery is the only alternative. Severe cases of rosacea can even impair your vision. You are lucky, if your dermatologist is able to identify the root cause of your rosacea condition, in the first stage of attack. This is only possible when you report to your dermatologist in the first stage of its attack. So don t keep sitting to ignore the red soars on your cheeks.

What Can I Use To Cover My Acne?

2007-01-17T14:01:00.000-08:00

There are several very good products available to cover the discoloration/blemish from acne. You might have noticed that purple or red colors are almost impossible to camouflage. To get the best concealer for acne lesions, it is important to find a product that closely matches your natural skin tone and does not clog your pores.

Iredale Mineral Cosmetics carries a wonderful product that is an extremely fine powder of micro-pulverized rock or mineral. It comes in different colors to match normal skin tones. This product contains no oil or talcum, and provides up to SPF-60 sun protection factor from UVA and UVB rays.

A second product that covers blemishes quite well is called "Total Block." This is a liquid used to cover the entire facial area. It has some pigment that can be added to balance out normal skin tones. This product works well for covering blemishes and it has an excellent sun protection factor, although it may have some oiliness.

From a medical standpoint, one who gets acne has a combination of factors working in concert. Two or more factors can cause a condition based on the anatomy and physiology of the skin itself to promote an inflammatory response that we call acne.

The factors of getting acne include:

Increased oil - either production by the sebaceous glands or added (in makeup etc.)
Retention Keratosis - skin cells that are not shed properly and plug sebaceous ducts
Trapped bacteria under the skin's surface - normally present and harmless as they are on the surface.

Genetics can play a part in getting acne because our genetic blueprint does influence thickness of skin, oily tendencies of the skin and basic hormone responses. However, just because your parents or other family members have acne, it does not necessarily mean that you will too.

Getting acne usually occurs in the teenage years may even appear a few days after birth. But, this is more often related to increased activity in the hormone processes within the skin and generally disappears relatively quickly. People can also develop adult acne, which in most cases is caused by hormonal changes. Although there are many different causes of acne, the same basic factors of plugging an oil gland occur in the development of the inflammatory process that causes breakouts.

Acne happens to nearly every one of us at some point in our lives. It's so common that anywhere from 75 to 80% of people between the ages of 15 and 35 have skin problems.

The rise in over the counter remedies has risen dramatically and while some work for some people, many of us are forced to seek professional help from dermatologists.

In some cases, lotions and soaps, specifically those that contain Benzoyl peroxide can eliminate bacteria.

Sometimes antibiotics will be used along with products like Accutane which can help keep skin pores open and minimize any scarring.

Contrary to popular belief, just washing your face often may not be enough. Zits actually form when hair follicles get clogged up and this blocks the skin's oil elimination route.

This oil called sebum, and it's excretion, can be increased in some individuals due to genetics and may also rise during puberty.

Under the skin, blocked sebum creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and this can cause inflammation which ultimately culminates into pimples.

By all means, it's not a bad thing to wash your face and try to keep it clean. Just don't overdo it since this can cause more problems.

There has always been a debate about chocolate and it's effects on your skin. Experts are still undecided on just how diet might affect the health of the skin, but more and more are leaning towards an overall healthy diet which can positively influence the entire body.

Drinking plenty of good clean water can help flush out toxins from the body as well as from the skin. If your diet has been rather poor before, you may see an increase in the sebum excretion for a time. If your able to follow a good diet and drink plenty of water you should see things improve after a few days.

It really needs to be kept in mind that not all remedies will work for every person. What works for one, may not work for another. With this in mind, it's important to try different options until you find a solution.

Be sure to use common sense and discretion when dealing with non-prescription products. If you continue to have problems it would then be a good idea to seek out help from a dermatologist.

Finally, it's also good to keep in mind that you should let nature run it's course and not pick or squeeze a zit if you get one. There is always a strong urge to get rid of them as fast as possible but this usually just aggravates and prolongs the problem.

The number of over-the-counter products available for the prevention and treatment of acne are numerous. Some of these products have been developed to reduce the chances of the development of acne by including substances designed to unclog the pores. There are also cleansers, which are designed to do a simple job - cleanse the skin and remove excess oils and dirt to help control breakouts. While it's true that some over-the-counter products are somewhat helpful for the treatment of acne, it's also true that some of these could harm your skin.

Among the most popular products used to cleanse the skin is soap. Although this product might be helpful for some people, it also can aggravate the acne afflicted areas depending on your skin type, skin sensitivity, and actual acne condition. So, if you plan to use a cleanser it is very important that you get one that will work best with your skin type, skin sensitivity, and acne condition. This will help you avoid further irritation to your skin and will promote faster healing. For instance, if your skin is oily, it is recommended you use soaps that are practically oil-free, as products containing a substantial amount of oil will add oil to your skin, causing the pores to become clogged and subsequent breakouts to occur. On the other hand, if you have sensitive skin, you'd better stay away from fragrant soaps for the chemicals in them can cause breakouts too.

Another popular over-the-counter product that can cause negative effects on your acne condition is cosmetics. It has been reported that certain makeup products contain chemicals that can cause breakouts. This is due to the clogging of the pores and irritation of the skin produced by these products. So, if you didn't know about this, you might want to find out what is in your cosmetic products from now on. This is especially true in the case that recently you've been suffering more breakouts than normal or if you've been feeling something is irritating your skin. The answer to all of this might be in your cosmetics. Nowadays, you can easily find lots of information about the cosmetic products you buy - about its ingredients, what they should be used for, and even the skin type it works best on! With all this information, there's no reason why you shouldn't find some good cosmetics for your skin. However, you must get those that won't worsen your acne. The recommended cosmetics for acne sufferers are cosmetics that are non-cometigenic. These cosmetics won't clog your pores.

Again, keep in mind to always choose your acne products carefully. If you'd like to be consistent, you might even want to try sticking to one brand for your daily regimen. When you use a specific line of products that has been designed to work together it will help you promote healing and prevention in the same way. Avoid harsh, over-the-counter products that can irritate your skin. And don't forget that, in case any product irritates your skin simply stop its use immediately and find one that doesn't. As an ultimate solution, consult a physician if the use of over-the-counter hygiene products isn't doing the trick.

When washing your skin, always do it gently. But never over wash your skin as this can cause it to become irritated and breakouts to occur. No matter how hard you try but simply over washing your skin will not remove any more dirt and oil but will only cause irritation. Also, stop squeezing your pimples. The only thing you'll accomplish if you pinch your pimples is to cause the bacteria to go deeper within the skin. And this in turn will cause the area around the pimple to become irritated and inflamed. To alleviate the problem and bring out the pus, the best solution is to cleanse the area and use a toner instead.

Acne and hormones-

Acne is caused by the excess production of sebaceous glands. These glands also begin shedding more dead cells at the same time and block the gland forming acne. Hormones control all these. Can we not do anything about them to keep acne away? Let us find out.

Hormonal changes-

We undergo lot of hormonal changes during our puberty. The male hormones- androgens that are found both in males and females cause excess production of sebum. These hormones are found in much lesser quantity in women. After puberty, women undergo lot many hormonal changes during pregnancy and because of birth control pills. But men do not experience these hormonal changes.

What about adult acne?

It is accepted that women may get acne because of hormones in adult hood, but why do men get acne in adulthood? There must be some associated hormonal change or some other reason.

Acne in adult men-

Men do not undergo hormonal changes after puberty for many years. There is something called male menopause, but one does not hear of men getting acne at that age. Why people still keep on getting acne? It seems that in some men the hormones remain actively changing for a longer period and they have some tendency to form acne at a later age also. One must consult the doctor to find out about what can be done to control hormones to stop acne formation.

Before running off to buy any acne product

If you have acne, you do not just get the first acne treatment product you see in the grocery. Chances are, things will just get worst instead of getting better.

There are things you should take into consideration first before choosing an effective acne product. What are these?

1. Know your skin type.

People with oily skin should choose a gel-based product. Those with dry skin should choose a cream.

If you are like those people who have a combination skin, choose the acne product that best works with the afflicted area. If your acne flares up in the oily spots, choose a gel. But if it is the dry skin that gets the zits, choose a cream.

2. Some mild creams can be used as a preventative measure. But most acne creams are too harsh to be used before you see or feel a zit. Read the labels carefully and only apply the medication to places that are acne prone or those that already have acne.

3. If the acne is extremely painful, or if it becomes painful after trying on any acne product, try taking an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen. Then go consult a doctor immediately.

4. If your skin has large pustules that appear in clusters, you may require treatment by a doctor. This is especially so if the acne is painful, causes scars, and if you cannot seem to get rid of a blemish.

Medicated acne products versus natural acne products.

Medicated acne products contain a chemical that dries up the pimple while acting as an exfoliant at the same time.

The most common ingredients used for this purpose are benzoyl peroxide and salycic acid. People with sensitive skin should choose a product that contains salycic acid over one containing benzoyl peroxide.

The amount of drying chemical added to a product is measured in terms of percentage. Stronger creams have a higher percentage or concentration of the active ingredient.

Contrary to the "more is better" belief, the highest concentration is not always the most effective. Take note that it will all depend on your skin type and the sort of acne you are dealing with. Some acne will not respond well to these acne products and must be treated by a doctor, dermatologist or skin specialist.

Natural acne products contain a variety of naturally occurring ingredients, usually plant extracts that work to dry up the pimple and sooth the effected area.

Most of these products are blends of natural ingredients like Vitamin E, grapeseed oil, calendula, aloe vera or witch hazel and essential oils. But there are a few essential oils that work well in treating acne when used alone or with a single carrier oil.

Natural treatments contain ingredients to dry the blemish, sooth the redness and add moisture to the irritated area. It is important to note that just because a product is natural does not mean that it is mild.

People with sensitive skin should be every bit as careful when using a natural treatment as they are when using one that is medicated.

Natural products can be very irritating to sensitive skin and can even cause reactions in people with allergies like hay fever. As with medicated treatments, if a natural treatment makes the acne worse or causes a painful reaction you should stop using that acne product and see a doctor right away.

Do not carry the oils from your hair onto your face by running your hands through the strands and then touching your face. Germs, skin flakes and bacteria rest in your hair and can be transmitted to your sensitive acne areas.

Acne picture in the T-zone can be prevented with the right regimen and habit.

Acne is a skin condition which mostly affects teenagers, but has also been known to affect people in every age range from childhood to adults. Acne is usually associated with inflamed, red, blotchy skin, pimples and, in severe manifestations, cysts (hence the term cystic acne). It can also consist of clogged pores, both white and black comodomes (also called whiteheads and blackheads). Acne not only affects ones skin, but also affects ones mental outlook on life. Acne is a serious disease or condition and there are some great home remedies you can do to halt or limit its progression.

One obvious rule of thumb that pretty much everyone can agree on (including doctors and dermatologists) is that picking or squeezing pimples and or cysts is not good and can result in permanent scarring. Picking and squeezing acne of any form will damage the skin worse than it already is. Professionals, like dermatologists, may use a lancet to open a cyst or puss filled pimple as this will allow drainage and treatment of the acne causing bacteria. Per Dr. Howard Mann:

Acne is the result of clogged pores, which cause the hair follicles and sebaceous glands to become inflamed and infected. Areas that are particularly susceptible to acne include the chest, back, shoulders, neck, and face.

Pimples and acne should not be picked at or squeezed to minimize the risk of scarring.

One important home remedy is cleanliness and the use of gentle cleansers. Harsh soaps tend to dry out the skin and can actually cause the over production of sebum or oil worsening the condition. What is better is to use a mild cleanser like Cetaphil or its generic equivalents. This will clean your skin and remove excess oil without overdrying your skin. Mild cleansers are also usually hypoallergenic so as to minimize any disturbance to acne inflamed skin. It is also important to make sure all makeup and similar products are removed before bedtime.

Proper hydration is also a key home remedy for acne. If your skin is not properly hydrated it can not properly cleanse itself or exfoliate properly and could end up in clogging the pores. Clogged pores are the leading factor in acne and proper hydration will minimize this. It is advised to drink atleast 6 to 10 glasses of water per day. Proper hydration will also improve your skins health and its ability to fight or ward off infection.

Another popular at home remedy that has only recently been made available is skin peels for increased skin exfoliation and treatment of acne bacteria. Stronger skin peels, like TCA peels (trichloroacetic acid) remove acne bacteria from deep inside the pores and return the skin to its natural pH or acidity level. They will increase exfoliation and, basically, make your skin an environment that is non conducive to acne bacteria. TCA peels have actually been found in studies to be as effective as Accutane, the strongest acne medicine available, without any of the horrible side effects. Doctors and dermatologists have been using TCA peels, like the infamous Obagi Blue Peel by Dr. Obagi, to treat and heal acne prone skin and resultant scarring.

Many times mild to moderate acne can be

2006-12-22T03:01:00.000-08:00

Many times mild to moderate acne can be treated naturally. Natural treatment involves no harsh medications, such as Accutane, that can cause serious and harmful side effects. Natural treatment involves adjusting the lifestyle to get rid of toxins in the body that are causing acne breakouts. Natural treatments also use herbs to help jump-start the workings of the liver and other cleansing organs to help cleanse your body.

Acne is caused by either hormonal imbalances, such as the acne that occurs during pregnancy, or the pores being clogged by a substance known as sebum. Many people think of acne as a problem of adolescence, but it is becoming increasingly a problem of adults as well. Acne is usually found on the face, shoulders, neck and back. If it is bad enough, acne can cause terrible scarring.

Several natural occurrences can cause breakouts or worsening of acne. When a woman gets her menstrual cycle, the hormonal changes premenstrually can cause an acne flair-up. Some prescription medications, specifically those designed to change hormonal levels, can cause acne. Obesity is another cause, due to the change in the hormones associated with being overweight. Stress is another factor. A poor diet, especially one high in sugars and trans fatty acids is yet another cause.

One of the first areas to target to help cure acne is the diet. Unprocessed foods are the best possible foods for those who wish to combat acne. Vegetables and fruit should make up a large portion of the diet. Refined sugar and fried foods should be avoided whenever possible. Milk products can be another problem, as well as hydrogenated vegetable oil. Avoid these things and increase the consumption of water and fiber. Those suffering from acne should monitor their bowel movements and strive to consume enough fiber eventually to have a bowel movement with every meal. This helps eliminate the toxins in the body that can lead to acne.

There are also several vitamins and herbs that help to stimulate the body to cleanse itself and get rid of the unsightly acne. Vitamin A helps the body reduce the production of sebum. On popular and dangerous, prescription drug, Accutane, is a high dose of vitamin A. The problem with this drug is that it can cause severe birth defects if a woman who is taking it becomes pregnant and it can also lead to depression in teenagers. It is better to take an over-the-counter Vitamin A supplement.

Zinc also helps to prevent acne, as well as heal current breakouts. Zinc helps to regulate the hormonal imbalances that can cause acne. Vitamin B6 is another helpful vitamin, particularly for women suffering from menstrual acne breakouts. The herbs sarsaparilla, yellow dock, cleavers and burdock take together help clear the body of lymph infections and therefore of acne. Tea tree oil can be applied directly to acne spots to help reduce the pain and appearance of the problem.

Sometimes those who suffer from acne find relief from massage treatments. The process of improving circulation to the affected areas often helps reduce the acne breakouts. Finally, reducing the stress in your life can help take away your acne. Relaxation techniques work to this effect.

Can Using A Dirty Washcloth Cause Acne?

2006-12-21T17:01:00.000-08:00

Using a dirty washcloth does not cause acne. However, if you have acne and then repeatedly use the same unclean washcloth for cleansing, the bacteria that remains on the cloth may spread and cause new breakouts and could possibly make your existing breakouts worse.

We recommend that you launder your washcloths at least every other day. It is also helpful to wash other items frequently that come into contact with your acne, such as pillowcases, sheets, and comforters.

More than likely, if you are a teenager going through puberty, when male or female hormones are still changing randomly and haphazardly, your acne will go away when hormone levels become more consistent.

During pregnancy, it is also very common for acne problems to become more prominent and suddenly, after pregnancy, seem to disappear. This again is related to hormonal changes related to normal body physiology.

Most patients who suffer from acne as teenagers can expect acne to become less active in their mid to late 20's as hormone levels become more consistent and teen stress begins to subside. However, 30% of adults do continue to suffer from acne, making it important for them to find the best acne treatment available. Reversion Acne Control can help those who suffer from adult acne by presenting a long term solution to acne breakouts.

How People Should Go About Acne Skin Care

If you have acne, what do you do to care for your skin?

Here are some acne skin care tips just for you.

The first thing that an acne sufferer should do is keeping his skin clean. Cleaning your skin doesn t mean frequent washing. Remember that over-washing can cause dryness of skin which may worsen the problem.

Cleaning skin means washing it with mild facial wash gently. You may also use moisturizers to avoid overproduction of oil.

Another acne skin care tip is to avoid touching or rubbing the skin part with acne. It may just cause the outbreak of bacteria to your acne and may also cause scarring. Squeezing your acne may also cause these scars.

For women, acne skin care means choosing their cosmetic wisely. They must choose cosmetics with less amount of oil. If they can t find such cosmetics, they may resort to applying their make-up gently. They must also remember to always wash away the make-up before sleeping.

For men, shaving regularly is a good acne skin care. These facial hairs can trap several microbes that might infect their acne.

Acne patients should always consult their dermatologists for advice on the best type of cleansers to be used for their acne skin care.

Acne skin care also means washing your skin after heavy exercise. Patients should wash their face from under the jaw to the hairline using mild soaps and never rub the skin hardly with towel.

Astringents are not recommended for acne skin care unless the skin is very oily, and then they should be used only on oily spots. Overuse of these products may also cause dryness to your skin.

Doctors also recommend that patients regularly shampoo their hair as part of acne skin care. Those with oily hair may want to shampoo it every day for proper acne skin care.

A suntan or sunburn that reddens the skin can make blemishes less visible and make the skin feel drier for a little while. But the benefits are only temporary and cannot take the place of proper acne skin care. The sun can seriously damage skin, promote aging of skin, and cause skin cancer. Furthermore, many of the medications used to treat acne make a person more prone to sunburn.

Lip products that contain moisturizers may cause small, open and closed comedones to form. Hairstyling products that come in contact with the skin along the hairline can cause burning or stinging in people with acne.

Acne skin care products that are labeled as noncomedogenic (do not promote the formation of blemishes) should be used for acne skin care; in some people, however, even these products may cause acne.

Acne skin care is important for acne patients. Proper handling of the skin along with proper acne treatments may result to your ultimate dream of clear skin. You must just decide on what type of acne skin care treatment is best for your skin. Always be aware of the side effects of certain acne treatments before trying on them. It is best to consult your dermatologist first before trying on new acne skin care products.

Always remember that to attain clear skin; you don t need to spend thousand of dollars. It s how you handle your skin. It also depends on how to choose your acne skin care.

Acne is a result of an imbalance of two or more factors in skin physiology relating to the sebaceous gland and duct system. When our body physiology is working properly, small amounts of oil (called sebum) are produced in the sebaceous glands in the dermis or deeper part of the skin. These sebaceous glands share a duct or tubule that goes to the skin with a small hair. When either too much oil is produced or blockage of the tubule preventing the escape of oil occurs, the net result is acne. The most common causes of acne are an increased production of sebaceous material due to hormone imbalance or side effects of stress that cause an overproduction of sebaceous material.

However, almost always with the occurrence of acne, there is also a related phenomenon called retention keratosis. These two big words actually refer to the lining cells of the sebaceous duct not shedding properly and staying in place for a longer period of time. This builds up like rust in a pipe until the duct is closed or blocked. When this happens, it sets events occurring that proceed to inflammation or an irritation underneath the surface of the skin. If one imagines that the sebaceous duct were a small stream that got plugged up, it causes a backup of everything upstream from the direction of flow.

Another factor is the presence of several different types of skin bacteria that normally don t cause acne. However, when trapped beneath the skin, the bacteria begin to react chemically with the sebaceous material causing it to break down into free fatty acids. Free fatty acids are quite irritating to the deeper structure of the skin and result in inflammation and causes acne breakouts.

The first signs are redness, firmness, swelling, tenderness, and heat. On about the second or third day of inflammation, white blood cells increase in the area attempting to digest the bacteria and rid the body of them. This results in the formation of pustules and even more irritation extending sideways beneath the surface of the skin.

If some one only has mild or even moderate acne they will have very little or no permanent scarring once the acne is resolved. If you were unfortunate enough to have a sever case of acne you will almost certainly have some scarring. In the past if you had acne scarring there was very little that could be done but now there are ways to minimize scarring and even existing scars can be removed.

Pimples almost always leave behind a darkened spot of skin, this is not truly a scar and should clear up on it s own with in a year. Any mark that lasts for more than a year is a true scar.

Preventing Scars

Active treatment will help avoid scarring but it is vitally important that you do not do anything to increase the damage and cause scarring that can be avoided. You should not pick or squeeze pimples in an attempt to get rid of them. It spreads the bacteria, which will lead to even greater acne problems, plus it can damage the skin and cause permanent scars.

If you only have a mild case of acne you should be able to effectively treat it yourself with one of the many OTC acne treatments. Severe cases of acne though will need the attention of a dermatologist. The dermatologist can prescribe oral medication as well as topical solutions to help clear up and control the acne. If necessary the dermatologist can use sterile surgical tools to remove black heads and white heads and even lance pus filled nodules.

Bacteria trapped in the skin are what actually cause the pimples, this causes the skin to become discolored and inflamed. Even after the acne has cleared the skin may remain discolored for a period of time, this is a normal part of the healing process and should eventually fade.

Certain medications can be used to speed up the healing process, some of the more common ones are: Renova, Retin-A, and Alpha Hydroxy acids. You should always be sure to wear sunscreen when you will be exposed to sunlight, the ultraviolet rays will damage the skin and prolong the healing time.

Never pick the scabs that form over the old acne sores, these scabs are a vital part of the healing process and when you remove them you run the risk of developing a fresh infection in that area. Plus removing the scabs only delays the healing process and increases the risk of scarring.

Treating Scars

It is possible to treat some acne scars now; if the scars are only mild then you might be able to effectively treat them with a chemical peel. When the chemical peel is applied to the skin it removes the top microscopic layer of skin, which then forces the skin to rejuvenate.

More severe scarring can be treated with lasers. Lasers will remove the damaged layer of skin and raise the depression caused by the scar by tightening the layer beneath. Most dermatologists will use a mild anesthetic for this procedure because there is some pain involved. It usually takes about a week to recover from the laser treatment.

You can also remove scars by actually scraping away the damaged layer of skin, this process is called dermabrasion. After the damaged layer is scraped away a new layer of skin develops to replace it. Both of these procedures can cause the skin in the area treated to turn red but this should clear up with in a couple months.

Acne is a skin disorder occurring mainly in association with the hormonal changes of adolescence, although women may experience it for the first time when they are in their 20s or 30s. The increased amounts of androgen produced by both the male and female sex glands stimulate the sebaceous (oil) glands of the hair follicles to produce an increased amount of the fatty substance called sebum that is normally discharged through the pores to lubricate the skin. The overproduction of sebum results in oily skin.

The characteristic pimples, pustules, and blackheads of acne are formed when the pores become plugged by the sebum that has backed up, mixed with skin pigments, and leaked into surrounding areas.

Acne is not caused by junk food or faulty hygiene. The chief cause is the onset of puberty combined with the hereditary factors that control the oiliness of the skin. Mild cases usually clear up by themselves, especially when the affected areas are kept free of oily cosmetics by regular cleansing. Nonprescription products containing benzoyl peroxide are helpful. For more stubborn cases, vitamin A acid cream (Retin-A), sun lamp treatments, and tetracycline pills may be beneficial.

Unfortunately, long-term acne may leave scars and blemishes. In this case, a dermatologist can be consulted about the removal of them by dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is the removal of the outer layers of the skin.

Scars caused by acne can be improved by beveling the edges if they are not the deep-pitted "ice pick" type, although the abrasion may have to be repeated several times to achieve a skin surface that approaches normal in appearance. It is not always possible to estimate the depth of the scars, and therefore the results are not usually predictable. Dermabrasion can also be done to smooth fine wrinkles, especially of the upper lip. Because elevated levels of estrogen affect the pigmentation of the skin, the procedure should not be done on a woman who takes estrogen as replacement therapy or as a contraceptive.

The procedure can be done under local anesthesia or by topical refrigeration ( spraying on a solution that freezes the skin surface), but because dermabrasion takes a long time, many patients elect to have general or supplementary intravenous anesthesia. Most surgeons prefer to work on the entire face in order to blend margins at the hairline and beneath the jaw line. If spotty areas are done, blotches of depigmented skin may result. Sandpaper or a rotary diamond fraise or a rotary wire brush may be used.

There are a lot of difficult things that children need to put up with when they go to school. Everything from bullies to difficult assignments from teachers (and perhaps a lot of homework) but something that seems so cruel that many children go through is problems with their skin. You probably remember your classmates that had skin problems when you were in school, the other children could be so terribly cruel. They would call them names like pizza face, and that hurts. Not only do they have to put up with the physical scars that acne can leave behind but they also need to deal with emotional scars left by their peers.

Fortunately we live in a day and age where there are some pretty good solutions for dealing with acne and skin problems. There are all sorts of treatments available from prescriptions chemicals that treat the problem as well as clearing up what acne is already found on your body to laser treatments that are new and upcoming in this particular field. Some of the better acne medicines work quickly and are highly endorsed by celebrities that also have to deal with skin problems and are in the public eye.

My favorite acne solutions, however, is a natural solution. My son came to visit me for the summer and he had a really bad skin problem. I feel that it was caused by the diet that he usually eats of greasy fast foods and soda. He really wanted to do something to help his acne so I took a look on the Internet and found some natural solutions. Some of the things that he did, on a daily basis, were to scrub his face with sea salt and vinegar, then let the solution sit on his face for a half hour before wiping it off. He also ate 2 slices of raw red beets and drank a warm cup of lemon water daily. This was to help clear his system of impurities so that his face would not continue to break out. It worked to a certain extent and a lot of the redness went away.

No matter what type of treatment you decide to use it's always best to ask the advice of a professional before trying anything erratic. Although natural treatments are fairly benign in nature you may have a reaction that you don't expect so make sure you discuss it with your dermatologist before doing anything out of the ordinary.

Acne is basically an inflammatory skin disorder. Usually with acne, pimples, blackheads, and/or whiteheads are present. If you suffer from acne, you are not alone. Acne affects about 80 percent of Americans between the ages of twelve and forty-four. Those who suffer from acne can experience great emotional stress and that can have an affect on one s self-esteem.

Hormones stimulate the production of keratin and sebum (an oily lubricant) and if sebum is secreted faster than it can make its way through the pore, a blemish is formed. Bacteria are trapped inside the pore and the result is either a blackhead or a whitehead. Blackheads arise when sebum and skin pigments together plug the pores and if scales beneath the surface layer of skin become filled with sebum, a whitehead appears. In severe cases, whiteheads spread under the skin, rupture, and the inflammation spreads.

There are several factors that can contribute to acne: heredity, hormonal imbalances, allergies, stress, drugs, oily skin, menstrual cycles, and candidiasis. Also nutritional deficiencies and diets high in saturated fats can encourage acne breakouts. Also if the body has too much toxic waste for the kidneys and liver to eliminate, the skin takes over the task by eliminating toxins through sweat which can contribute to acne.

If the pores of the skin become clogged, acne can flourish. Dust, dirt, and grime from pollution are to blame. It is very important to cleanse the skin properly with the proper skin care products.

Choose a non irritating cleanser containing ingredients such as salicylic acid, licochalone, chamomile, aloe vera, feverfew, or niacinamide. These ingredients can help to reduce redness, inflammation, and acne, and also unclog pores. Stay away from cleansers that produce lots of suds as these contain detergents and may irritate inflammation. Avoid sodium lauryl sulfate, a detergent sometimes used in skin care products.

For the treatment of pimples, do not steam your face or place ice cubes on pimples. These methods can cause changes in temperature that can increase inflammation. Try some spot treatments for pimples.

Finally, retinoids can be used topically and some people report a decrease in oil formation on the skin. Retinoids increase cell renewal thereby reducing dead cell buildup and the formation of blackheads.

Fried foods have not shown to be related to the causes of acne. In fact, there aren t any specific foods that cause acne.

Of course, skin health is directly related to a well balanced diet, adequate rest and general personal cleanliness. Many people have told me that a good order of tasty french fries properly cooked seemed to lower their stress level.

Acne solutions for women

Some people, especially women, spend thousand of dollars in finding the perfect acne solution in order to maintain their soft fair skin.

What they do not know is that what they are applying to their skin might be the ones causing the acne to start sprouting in the first place.

Whenever acne appears on the faces of these women, they will again spend well-earned money for some acne solution that will prove to be ineffective in the end. So much for the effort. And so much for the money.

Here are some common mistakes of women and some acne solutions for them:

1. Re-using a consealer applicator

If you have a blemish and you want to hide it, dip your consealer applicator in the bottle and apply the liquid cover directly to the inflamed blemish, right. No. Reapplying consealer to your face with the applicator provided by the manufacturer does one thing only, spread more bacteria. Once you apply the consealer to your face with the applicator wand, you simply return it to the bottle where the bacteria have a whole container in which to flourish. Giving bacteria a breeding ground is what causes acne in the first place, so dont give them new real estate in which to reproduce.

Acne Solution:
To avoid this, apply your consealer with a cotton swab and never, ever use the applicator stick provided by the consealer manufacturer. This will ensure that your consealer applications are always fresh and free of as much bacteria as possible.

2. Re-using a foundation sponge

The reasons for not re-using a foundation sponge are the same as the reason for not re-using a consearler applicator, you want to limit the spread of bacteria.

Acne Solution:
Never use the foundation sponge provided by the manufacturer of the cosmetic. Instead, use a cotton ball to apply your foundation. This way, each of your foundation applications will be clean.

3. Applying moisturizers and makeup with a heavy hand.

Do you have the habit of piling layers of makeup onto your face? Caking on your makeup clogs your pores. Clogged pores are an ideal breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria.

Acne Solution:
Always lightly apply your makeup and moisturizer. One easy trick for assuring that you are applying your makeup and moisturizer lightly is that you feel a tickling sensation as you apply your cosmetics. The added benefit of light facial handling is that you reduce stretching and irritating your skin, a combination that can help limit the onset of wrinkles and acne breakouts.

4. Not evenly applying cosmetics

If you notice a collection of pimples surrounding your temple or hairline, this could be because you start applying the makeup or moisturizer at the bottom of your face and work your way upward. However, if the makeup or moisturizer collects on your temples or at the hairline, the cosmetic excess may clog the pores and cause zits.

Acne Solution:
When applying makeup or a moisturizer, spread it evenly across the entire face. Keep in mind that hair styling agents may have spread to your hairline and this increases the chances of the pores getting congested and zits arising. Also, while cleansing your face, apply a warm cloth onto your hairline area to help remove the waxy build-up that comes from hair styling agents, moisturizers and makeup.

Acne happens to nearly every one of us at some point in our lives. It's so common that anywhere from 75 to 80% of people between the ages of 15 and 35 have skin problems.

The rise in over the counter remedies has risen dramatically and while some work for some people, many of us are forced to seek professional help from dermatologists.

In some cases, lotions and soaps, specifically those that contain Benzoyl peroxide can eliminate bacteria.

Sometimes antibiotics will be used along with products like Accutane which can help keep skin pores open and minimize any scarring.

Contrary to popular belief, just washing your face often may not be enough. Zits actually form when hair follicles get clogged up and this blocks the skin's oil elimination route.

This oil called sebum, and it's excretion, can be increased in some individuals due to genetics and may also rise during puberty.

Under the skin, blocked sebum creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and this can cause inflammation which ultimately culminates into pimples.

By all means, it's not a bad thing to wash your face and try to keep it clean. Just don't overdo it since this can cause more problems.

There has always been a debate about chocolate and it's effects on your skin. Experts are still undecided on just how diet might affect the health of the skin, but more and more are leaning towards an overall healthy diet which can positively influence the entire body.

Drinking plenty of good clean water can help flush out toxins from the body as well as from the skin. If your diet has been rather poor before, you may see an increase in the sebum excretion for a time. If your able to follow a good diet and drink plenty of water you should see things improve after a few days.

It really needs to be kept in mind that not all remedies will work for every person. What works for one, may not work for another. With this in mind, it's important to try different options until you find a solution.

Be sure to use common sense and discretion when dealing with non-prescription products. If you continue to have problems it would then be a good idea to seek out help from a dermatologist.

Finally, it's also good to keep in mind that you should let nature run it's course and not pick or squeeze a zit if you get one. There is always a strong urge to get rid of them as fast as possible but this usually just aggravates and prolongs the problem.

The number of over-the-counter products available for the prevention and treatment of acne are numerous. Some of these products have been developed to reduce the chances of the development of acne by including substances designed to unclog the pores. There are also cleansers, which are designed to do a simple job - cleanse the skin and remove excess oils and dirt to help control breakouts. While it's true that some over-the-counter products are somewhat helpful for the treatment of acne, it's also true that some of these could harm your skin.

Among the most popular products used to cleanse the skin is soap. Although this product might be helpful for some people, it also can aggravate the acne afflicted areas depending on your skin type, skin sensitivity, and actual acne condition. So, if you plan to use a cleanser it is very important that you get one that will work best with your skin type, skin sensitivity, and acne condition. This will help you avoid further irritation to your skin and will promote faster healing. For instance, if your skin is oily, it is recommended you use soaps that are practically oil-free, as products containing a substantial amount of oil will add oil to your skin, causing the pores to become clogged and subsequent breakouts to occur. On the other hand, if you have sensitive skin, you'd better stay away from fragrant soaps for the chemicals in them can cause breakouts too.

Another popular over-the-counter product that can cause negative effects on your acne condition is cosmetics. It has been reported that certain makeup products contain chemicals that can cause breakouts. This is due to the clogging of the pores and irritation of the skin produced by these products. So, if you didn't know about this, you might want to find out what is in your cosmetic products from now on. This is especially true in the case that recently you've been suffering more breakouts than normal or if you've been feeling something is irritating your skin. The answer to all of this might be in your cosmetics. Nowadays, you can easily find lots of information about the cosmetic products you buy - about its ingredients, what they should be used for, and even the skin type it works best on! With all this information, there's no reason why you shouldn't find some good cosmetics for your skin. However, you must get those that won't worsen your acne. The recommended cosmetics for acne sufferers are cosmetics that are non-cometigenic. These cosmetics won't clog your pores.

Again, keep in mind to always choose your acne products carefully. If you'd like to be consistent, you might even want to try sticking to one brand for your daily regimen. When you use a specific line of products that has been designed to work together it will help you promote healing and prevention in the same way. Avoid harsh, over-the-counter products that can irritate your skin. And don't forget that, in case any product irritates your skin simply stop its use immediately and find one that doesn't. As an ultimate solution, consult a physician if the use of over-the-counter hygiene products isn't doing the trick.

When washing your skin, always do it gently. But never over wash your skin as this can cause it to become irritated and breakouts to occur. No matter how hard you try but simply over washing your skin will not remove any more dirt and oil but will only cause irritation. Also, stop squeezing your pimples. The only thing you'll accomplish if you pinch your pimples is to cause the bacteria to go deeper within the skin. And this in turn will cause the area around the pimple to become irritated and inflamed. To alleviate the problem and bring out the pus, the best solution is to cleanse the area and use a toner instead.

Cystic acne does not begin as "cysts." This designation is given (Grade IV acne) after cysts have formed. The acne lesions in this form begin like all acne lesions and have the same factors involved. Specifically, there is an over production of sebaceous secretion, wax-like plugging of the hair follicle/sebaceous duct that traps a mix of bacteria (including P. Acne, S. Aureus, S. Epidermitis, and other surface flora).

This anaerobic environment is favorable for bacteria to multiply and cause the inflammatory process to commence. Bacterial enzymes proceed to break down the triglyceride lipids in sebum into free fatty acids. The body's normal response to this inflammation is to congregate white blood cells to combat the bacteria overgrowth leading to pustular/liquid debris.

At this point in time, cysts have not formed yet, but those individuals predisposed to cystic formation have a spreading to lateral and sub dermal areas outside the follicle. In patients with existing cystic acne, Reversion works quite well to prevent new lesions prior to cyst formation. After cystic acne has formed and developed walled-off spaces, surgical drainage is usually necessary along with systemic antibiotics to heal the bacterial infection and cyst/sinus tracts.

The term 'acne' refers to the various kinds

2006-12-14T19:01:00.000-08:00

The term 'acne' refers to the various kinds of skin disorders, in the form of plugged pores, lesions, pimples, cysts and nodules. These can affect the face, chest, neck, shoulders and back and occur primarily in teenagers and young adults, although many older people are also known to suffer from these skin eruptions. Acne is a cosmetic dermatological condition which is a source of great irritation because it comes in the way of a clear complexion; it is hence a matter of great anxiety to teenagers and youngsters who want to look their best and are prevented from doing so by the unwelcome eruptions on their skin. Acne normally tends to disappear in the thirties, but there are instances when it persists in later years; about eighty percent of people develop acne during their adolescence or youth.

Since acne is a widespread condition dealing with looks and appearance, there are several homegrown theories about the causes of the affliction and corresponding dos and don'ts. For example, it is believed that acne is caused by lack of hygiene and can be cured by frequent washing of the face, whereas the fact is that repeated washing leads to irritation and dryness. A common misconception is that excessive make-up causes acne, but this is not true; it is important, however, to use quality cosmetics that are preferably water-based or oil-free so that they do not clog up the pores. Again, contrary to popular belief, tanning is not a remedy for acne and in fact may cause sunburn and skin cancer. Even during vacations sun tanning. it is important to use a sunscreen lotion that is labeled as noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic. Parents of teenagers are fond of telling their children to keep off chocolates and fast food as these cause acne and while it is always advisable to eat a healthy and well-balanced diet, acne is generally not caused by fatty foods. It may, however, be caused by certain drugs, such as those containing iodides, bromides and oral and injected steroids like those used by athletes. Drugs prescribed to treat stress may also lead to an acne eruption, although stress by itself has nothing to do with the condition.

Acne is a surface skin condition and often a source of embarrassment, but not a disease; however, it does sometimes leaves the skin marked with scars that take a long time to disappear. Popping pimples does not get rid of the acne and in fact results in further scarring of the skin and should be avoided. Some virulent forms of acne, especially in boys, have been found to be hereditary, but acne is generally not a genetic condition. In some cases pressure from continuous wearing of helmets or collars may trigger acne; workers in factories who work with substances like cutting oils may also run the occupational hazard of breaking out in acne.

Acne occurs in both boys and girls owing to the secretion of oil by the sebaceous glands, which are stimulated by the male hormones or androgens in both sexes before or during puberty. The oil is intended by nature to be a lubricant and protection for the skin, but in some cases, the skin cells block the pores leading to a build-up of oil and generation of bacteria under the skin, which causes an inflammatory condition. Acne may manifest itself in various forms, such as pustules, blackheads or whiteheads.

The cosmetics industry has, naturally enough, responded handsomely to the acne menace by producing a host of treatment options for acne, ably supported by a persistent marketing campaign. Acne can be controlled in most cases by a combination of internal medicines and external applications. The common remedies for acne are formulations containing benzyl peroxide or resorcinol or salicylic acid; various drugs with sulfur are also used to break down blackheads and whiteheads. Most of these medications are available over the counter and are supplemented by a host of cosmetic aids such as lotions, gels and creams.

Rosacea is not a rosy state of affairs for your face. It has the appearance of bad acne. It normally selects cheeks, the best part of your face, for its unpleasant operation. You have severe redness and soaring of the skin. Mouth and forehead are the other favorite spots for rosacea. Even the best of acne treatments prescribed can not assure you of a permanent rosacea cure.

This is another pro-women disease. It attacks women more than the men. Normally it visits you after the age of 30, but this is not the thumb rule. It can surprise you at any time. Moreover this skin culprit is hereditary in nature.

Since its presence is very strong, visible and prominent, it may lead you to an awkward situation. There is no definite cure for rosacea. But several treatment options can be tried. So always take a final decision about the treatment in consultation with your dermatologist only.

Correct diagnosis in suspected case of rosacea is necessary, to find out whether it is actually rosacea. If it actually is, the dermatologist will decide the line of treatment suitable to the type of your rosacea attack.

Till date, pulsed light technology or laser technology is considered as the best treatment for rosacea. Rosacea causes redness of the skin. Laser heats the skin to the level that reduces or eliminates the redness. Most of the over the counter products do not go well with its treatment. So the best person to decide upon the right rosacea treatment for you is your dermatologist.

What is agonizing about rosacea is that it appears not as one to one cyst. It is characterized by reddish discoloration of the facial skin, the targeted areas being cheeks, nose and the forehead.

Since it targets the fair-skinned people more, its presence is prominently exhibited. Along with rosacea, pimples too may make their presence, but no whiteheads or blackheads will appear. Some of the implications of rosacea are frightening.

Initially, redness comes and goes, as if rosacea is doing rehearsals. Treat it at this stage itself, otherwise you are inviting more damage to your facial skin. Puffy cheeks and disfigurement of the nose are not uncommon, if you neglect the treatment.

In such a situation, cosmetic surgery is the only alternative. Severe cases of rosacea can even impair your vision. You are lucky, if your dermatologist is able to identify the root cause of your rosacea condition, in the first stage of attack. This is only possible when you report to your dermatologist in the first stage of its attack. So don t keep sitting to ignore the red soars on your cheeks.

For the treatment of pimples, do not steam your face or place ice cubes on pimples. These methods can cause changes in temperature that can increase inflammation. Try some spot treatments for pimples.

Finally, retinoids can be used topically and some people report a decrease in oil formation on the skin. Retinoids increase cell renewal thereby reducing dead cell buildup and the formation of blackheads.

Acne is a result of an imbalance of two or more factors in skin physiology relating to the sebaceous gland and duct system. When our body physiology is working properly, small amounts of oil (called sebum) are produced in the sebaceous glands in the dermis or deeper part of the skin. These sebaceous glands share a duct or tubule that goes to the skin with a small hair. When either too much oil is produced or blockage of the tubule preventing the escape of oil occurs, the net result is acne. The most common causes of acne are an increased production of sebaceous material due to hormone imbalance or side effects of stress that cause an overproduction of sebaceous material.

However, almost always with the occurrence of acne, there is also a related phenomenon called retention keratosis. These two big words actually refer to the lining cells of the sebaceous duct not shedding properly and staying in place for a longer period of time. This builds up like rust in a pipe until the duct is closed or blocked. When this happens, it sets events occurring that proceed to inflammation or an irritation underneath the surface of the skin. If one imagines that the sebaceous duct were a small stream that got plugged up, it causes a backup of everything upstream from the direction of flow.

Another factor is the presence of several different types of skin bacteria that normally don t cause acne. However, when trapped beneath the skin, the bacteria begin to react chemically with the sebaceous material causing it to break down into free fatty acids. Free fatty acids are quite irritating to the deeper structure of the skin and result in inflammation and causes acne breakouts.

The first signs are redness, firmness, swelling, tenderness, and heat. On about the second or third day of inflammation, white blood cells increase in the area attempting to digest the bacteria and rid the body of them. This results in the formation of pustules and even more irritation extending sideways beneath the surface of the skin.

Does Chocolate Cause Acne?

2006-12-12T23:01:00.000-08:00

Eating chocolate does not cause acne. The only way for chocolate to cause acne would be to rub chocolate on the skin until it clogs the pores, causing a mechanical blockage of the pore openings. Then you could legitimately say that chocolate causes acne. Some studies in the past indicated perhaps that excess amounts of some iodine-containing foods, such as shellfish, could influence the severity of acne. This has been questioned by a number of other recent studies. Our recommendation is to eat, drink and be merry in moderation. Until these studies prove us wrong, we cannot say that chocolate causes acne.

The process of pregnancy also involves shifts in female hormones that can cause acne problems, although some women experience clearer skin during pregnancy. Acne frequently becomes worse shortly after pregnancy, especially if nursing continues, but usually improves greatly as soon as regular ovarian cycles begin again.

The Reversion Acne Medication should not be used while you are pregnant or lactating. If you would like more information about an alternative product to use during pregnancy, please contact us.

There are various types of facial scrubs, but all share the property of being abrasive. One type of scrub is made from small particles such as ground fruit seeds or other vegetable material. They are designed to act like miniature sandpaper particles to remove dead skin cells from the skin surface. While facial scrubs might succeed in removing waxy blackhead plugs, the skin surface is left abraded, raw, or at least irritated. This irritation leads to inflammation and then sets the stage for making acne worse and often becoming more bacteria-infested.

Another type of facial scrub is made from synthetic materials in the form of a cloth or pad such as buff-Puff TM. Frequently, the companies that make these materials claim that they will gently exfoliate dead skin cells, so we tend to use them over and over. In between uses, these scrub pads are usually placed in the shower soap dish or some other warm, moist place. These conditions make an ideal culture medium for bacteria from the "exfoliated skin" to multiply overnight. The next time the scrub is used, acne breakouts can be re-infected!

Acne and hormones-

Acne is caused by the excess production of sebaceous glands. These glands also begin shedding more dead cells at the same time and block the gland forming acne. Hormones control all these. Can we not do anything about them to keep acne away? Let us find out.

Hormonal changes-

We undergo lot of hormonal changes during our puberty. The male hormones- androgens that are found both in males and females cause excess production of sebum. These hormones are found in much lesser quantity in women. After puberty, women undergo lot many hormonal changes during pregnancy and because of birth control pills. But men do not experience these hormonal changes.

What about adult acne?

It is accepted that women may get acne because of hormones in adult hood, but why do men get acne in adulthood? There must be some associated hormonal change or some other reason.

Acne in adult men-

Men do not undergo hormonal changes after puberty for many years. There is something called male menopause, but one does not hear of men getting acne at that age. Why people still keep on getting acne? It seems that in some men the hormones remain actively changing for a longer period and they have some tendency to form acne at a later age also. One must consult the doctor to find out about what can be done to control hormones to stop acne formation.

T-zone, the acne picture

You may think that acne outbreak is evenly distributed on your face.

Well, that s not the case. The area in the face called T-zone is the most susceptible part to acne. It is the acne picture.

The acne picture or T-zone is located on the face extending from the top middle part of the forehead and across from left to right in the shape of the crossbar of the T . The zone continues down past the nose and onto the chin in the shape of the base of a T . This area is where acne breakouts occur first and if controlled causes little alarm.

Reasons for the outbreaks in this area are numerous. Here are some of them:

1. Constant touching of the face with dirty hands. People have no idea how many times a day they touch their faces, but once aware of the condition begin to break the habit. Touching or rubbing worsen acne on the face and brings more outbreaks. Because of this you are making the best acne picture.

2. Stress is a factor in acne pictures and the first place you find a pimple is either on the chin or nose. The T zone is most sensitive and the flare-up will spread quickly throughout this area if not kept clean.

3. The T zone is where you will find most of your acne due to the amount of oil and bacteria that collects there. The contour of the face is enabling bacteria and oil to congregate in the crevices and corners around the eyes, lips, chin and corners of the nose.

4. Almost everyone has more than one skin type in the T zone.

Everyone s skin is different and in the T zone most people have all the skin types somewhere along the entire strip. You will find a combination of oily, dry or normal skin.

Controlling acne in the zone may be cumbersome using different methods on various spots, but in order to control outbreaks a routine needs to be followed. Here are some tips to control acne picture.

Wash your face gently using plenty of warm to hot water with extra clean fingertips. Use a mild soap that contains no oil-based ingredients. Wash at least twice a day. If you finish your regimen with cold water, it will help shrink the pores and close anything that is open.

Dry your face with a clean towel or sterile gauze square after it is washed. Rubbing will spread any infections as well as remove any natural moisture that needs to remain on the face.

There are antibacterial cleansers and sealers available across the counter or from makeup specialists to use after washing. This activity closes the pores and protects the face, back, arms or chest from the environment.

Hydrate your skin, especially in the winter to maintain moisture and neutralize the skin types.

If you have oily skin, wipe the oil from the T zone and keep it freshened.

Acne scar treatment options

Having acne is not the only problem that is posing major threats to teens and adults alike. Scarring of this acne can also be a serious problem. When this happens, you need some effective and affordable acne scar treatment.

Scars from acne can have a serious effect on a person's self-esteem and emotional state. Fortunately there have been advances in the treatment of acne-related scarring in recent years. However, it is important to note that nothing will completely heal most scars.

Laser Therapy - Using lasers for acne scar treatment is a relatively new technology, but is one of the most effective options for severe cases. The lasers remove the scarred skin, and encourage growth of new skin in its place. After treatment, the skin will be pink and swollen for a week or so Laser scar treatment can be expensive, but may be appropriate for severe cases.

Surgical Therapy - This form of acne scar treatment uses a motorized blade, which usually contains diamond particles. Diamonds are extremely strong abrasives when in a powder-form. A scab will form once the procedure is completed. Once it is healed, a smoother pink layer of new skin is underneath. Multiple treatments are often necessary, and each one can cost $1500.

Creams and Gels - There are many topical treatments that claim to reduce the appearance of scars. Many contain Vitamin E and other nutrients. Results with topical ointments like this will vary from person to person.

Collagen Injection - This is a temporary fix, where the patient's own body fat or collagen is injected into the scar site. This works well for some people with deep scars. The material injected serves to raise the skin, and reduce the scar s appearance, and wrinkling from the scar. However, this procedure needs to be repeated every 6 months and can be expensive.

Lack of hormones during later years and especially for women, can play a role in acne scar treatment and prevention.

One recent study showed that about 50 percent of women have acne, referred to as hormonal acne, problems during the week before their menstruation. Treatment options can include topical retinoids, oral antibiotics and Benzoyl Peroxide for teen years.

On into adult years, some acne scar treatment includes oral contraceptives or hormonal birth control pills and hormonal replacement therapy for women, combined with systemic or topical treatments, prescription or over-the-counter products and medications, and antibiotics for both sexes.

A healthy skin regimen should include no harsh scrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause possible skin irritation or possible over production of oil in respond to skin s dehydration.

Products with gentle exfoliation ingredients are good acne scar treatment.

Skip alcohol products can take off the top layer of your skin and cause your glands to product more oil, clogging pores in the process.

If you do spot acne-troubled areas, do not handle it harshly with them. Remember that these are already weeks in the making, and squeezing or picking blemishes can force the infected area to regress back inside, further troubling the region and possibly leave a scar.

If necessary, seek help from a dermatologist for alternative acne scar treatments.

Acne scars can cause further infection because the skin is open for bacteria. It is best to avoid developing acne scars by proper skin handling or if you already have them, have an effective acne scar treatment.

Acne is an opportunistic fighter. It hits you when you re already down. It usually doesn t lead the charge; but it shows up after a long battle has been fought.

When Acne does show up, it s the sign of an already compromised liver. Acne assaults the liver, by piggybacking on a two-pronged strategy, toxins and hormones.

Acne and Toxins

This avenue of attack shows how good an opportunistic enemy acne is. Daily we battle exhaust fumes, smoke, and all kinds of pesticides in the food we eat. Also, metals in the water we drink, and other toxic agents. The liver must filter out this garbage.

The constant onslaught frustrates and slows down the liver. Acne then quietly slips in. Do you get constipated? Does your acne appear after your constipation has gone?

How about a skin rash? When you ve finally gotten rid of your rash, up pops acne. Has this ever happened to you? This shows the nature of acne opportunistic! It comes after a battle has already been waged. Be vigilant! Know your body.

Acne and Hormones.

Hormones out of whack are a major cause of acne. Regulating hormones is a function of the liver. Too many hormones in the system results in over-abundance of oil production in the skin.

This leads to clogged pores resulting in acne. The groundwork for acne has been laid by a hormonal imbalance. Acne loves to piggyback.

Function of the Liver

The liver functions along these lines. The food you eat is broken down by your stomach acids. The blood in your stomach is like a train. It picks up and carries the food throughout your body. Before your food goes on that train ride though, it must be screened.

That s were your liver comes in.

It screens the baggage (food/blood). Then the baggage passes through the liver check point. As it passes through, it is stamped approved by a bile marker. Bile assists with further breakdown for easier digestion and absorption. The nutrient-rich blood is then sent on its way.

Conclusion

Acne is frustrating. We can be diligent and watch for constipation and other known acne forerunners. But then, out of the blue, acne appears.

One reason for its sudden appearance could be an over abundance of hormones racing around in your system. These hormones may not present a trigger. So you believe that your acne came from out of nowhere. That s the frustrating part.

Any chronic wound or delayed healing process in the skin will cause scarring, whether it be from a surgical wound with complications, an embedded splinter that takes days, weeks or months to work its way out, or an acne pustule that cannot heal.

If acne persists for several weeks as a pustule or infected area that cannot heal because of fluid being trapped under the skin, the probability of scarring increases. It is for this reason that dermatologists sometimes extract comedones or sebaceous plugs in follicles. This procedure is done in order to open the outlet for debris to exit the skin. In cases of deep cystic acne, a physician might actually incise and drain the acne lesion to minimize future scarring.

Using an acne treatment product that controls acne in its early stages to prevent the formation of fluid-filled pockets is the best way to prevent permanent scarring from acne.

What Are Some Acne Tips to Help Prevent Permanent Scars?

Although you might already have some permanent acne scars, you should be able to minimize the development of any new scars. Some important acne tips are:

As soon as a new breakout lesion begins, start to control its progression by administering acne medication.
Don t pick or squeeze.
Use the Reversion Acne Control System twice daily.
Remember that fluid filled or pustule lesions cannot heal until the fluid is gone. This may require an antibiotic, a chemical peel, or even mechanical extraction by a skin care professional.
Get plenty of rest and drink 8 glasses of water each day.
Start taking an oral antibiotic early if pustular lesions develop and persist for more than 2-3 days.

There are a lot of difficult things that children need to put up with when they go to school. Everything from bullies to difficult assignments from teachers (and perhaps a lot of homework) but something that seems so cruel that many children go through is problems with their skin. You probably remember your classmates that had skin problems when you were in school, the other children could be so terribly cruel. They would call them names like pizza face, and that hurts. Not only do they have to put up with the physical scars that acne can leave behind but they also need to deal with emotional scars left by their peers.

Fortunately we live in a day and age where there are some pretty good solutions for dealing with acne and skin problems. There are all sorts of treatments available from prescriptions chemicals that treat the problem as well as clearing up what acne is already found on your body to laser treatments that are new and upcoming in this particular field. Some of the better acne medicines work quickly and are highly endorsed by celebrities that also have to deal with skin problems and are in the public eye.

My favorite acne solutions, however, is a natural solution. My son came to visit me for the summer and he had a really bad skin problem. I feel that it was caused by the diet that he usually eats of greasy fast foods and soda. He really wanted to do something to help his acne so I took a look on the Internet and found some natural solutions. Some of the things that he did, on a daily basis, were to scrub his face with sea salt and vinegar, then let the solution sit on his face for a half hour before wiping it off. He also ate 2 slices of raw red beets and drank a warm cup of lemon water daily. This was to help clear his system of impurities so that his face would not continue to break out. It worked to a certain extent and a lot of the redness went away.

No matter what type of treatment you decide to use it's always best to ask the advice of a professional before trying anything erratic. Although natural treatments are fairly benign in nature you may have a reaction that you don't expect so make sure you discuss it with your dermatologist before doing anything out of the ordinary.

Every ethnic group may experience the effects of acne because the genetic component is always present. Each person's family tree has some effect upon his or her chances of suffering from acne. For example, skin type and thickness are often hereditary components that play a large role in whether or not the skin will be acne-prone.

People with light complexions usually have thinner, dryer skin and are generally less likely to experience serious cases of acne. Other factors such as sun exposure, makeup and skin care products used may influence breakouts of acne as well.

Acne begins as a whitehead or a blackhead. These are uninfected comedones. The gland is full of sebum and the gland is clogged. If treated at this stage, the acne will resolve easily without any scar. But many times it gets infected and becomes a big pimple full of pus. Stop that happening with these easy steps.

Acne- how it gets infected?

A bacterium called P.acnes lives on our skin. Normally this bacterium makes no harm to us. If this bacterium is given a warm close place full of sebum, it loves that and multiplies there. This happens in acne. The sebaceous gland is the ideal place for the bacteria in acne and the bacteria multiplies inside that. When white cells kill the bacteria, you see the pus filled acne. We should stop giving the bacteria a place to thrive. Let us see how.

1. Treat the blackheads and whiteheads immediately with either Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. They will both unclog the gland. Consult your doctor about using tretinoin at this stage itself. Use AHAs around the affected area to remove dead cells faster and remove the top affected layer of the skin. Your doctor will draw a treatment program for you.

2. Ask your doctor if you can use a mild antibiotic along with other topical treatments to kill the bacteria before it grows. Kill all the bacteria before it multiplies. Generally we use antibiotic after getting infected. In this case, ask your doctor if you should use one as preventive.

3. Keep your hands clean and wash your face with a good acid balanced cleanser or an AHA based cleanser. Don't over clean the skin. Clean it two to three times a day. Don't touch the spots. That may infect them. Trying to remove the comedones may also infect them. Consult your doctor and if needed he/she will pull it out.

No one wants to be seen with acne and it is a common problem for millions of teenagers and even some adults. It's not attractive and many times people in public will stare at you or make evil comments. The easy thing to do is to try and go to a dermatologist to clear your acne problems. However this can be an expensive process and insurance may not cover it. Before you try going to a dermatologist, there are some simple techniques you can try to clear your acne.

1. Try Fragrance Free Cleansors
These are your simple face wash or cleansors that you can get at the store. There are many brand name products that can work. The key is you must use them at least 3-4 times per day to keep your skin clear of oil for long periods of time. Many people only use them once per day and this will not work.

2. Try Salicylic Acid Treatment
This is helpful and can also be found at any store typically. Many have turned to this solution because of the strong base it provides. Be catious to read the directions and any warnings on this type of product before using.

3. Retinol Treatment
This is usually applied at night and is good for skin cell renewal to keep pores cleaner and less likely to get blocked. You can also find this at the store as it is usually sold over the counter.

These are the top three things that you can try on your own before you spend a lot of big money on a dermatologist or on other high priced acne treatments that may not work. The easiest solution is to try the fragrance free cleansor as it will be the cheapest and make sure you use it at least 3-4 times per day. Repetition is the key to getting rid of acne to keep you skin clean and healthy to eliminate all the pores.

Acne happens to nearly every one of us at some point in our lives. It's so common that anywhere from 75 to 80% of people between the ages of 15 and 35 have skin problems.

The rise in over the counter remedies has risen dramatically and while some work for some people, many of us are forced to seek professional help from dermatologists.

In some cases, lotions and soaps, specifically those that contain Benzoyl peroxide can eliminate bacteria.

Sometimes antibiotics will be used along with products like Accutane which can help keep skin pores open and minimize any scarring.

Contrary to popular belief, just washing your face often may not be enough. Zits actually form when hair follicles get clogged up and this blocks the skin's oil elimination route.

This oil called sebum, and it's excretion, can be increased in some individuals due to genetics and may also rise during puberty.

Under the skin, blocked sebum creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and this can cause inflammation which ultimately culminates into pimples.

By all means, it's not a bad thing to wash your face and try to keep it clean. Just don't overdo it since this can cause more problems.

There has always been a debate about chocolate and it's effects on your skin. Experts are still undecided on just how diet might affect the health of the skin, but more and more are leaning towards an overall healthy diet which can positively influence the entire body.

Drinking plenty of good clean water can help flush out toxins from the body as well as from the skin. If your diet has been rather poor before, you may see an increase in the sebum excretion for a time. If your able to follow a good diet and drink plenty of water you should see things improve after a few days.

It really needs to be kept in mind that not all remedies will work for every person. What works for one, may not work for another. With this in mind, it's important to try different options until you find a solution.

Be sure to use common sense and discretion when dealing with non-prescription products. If you continue to have problems it would then be a good idea to seek out help from a dermatologist.

Finally, it's also good to keep in mind that you should let nature run it's course and not pick or squeeze a zit if you get one. There is always a strong urge to get rid of them as fast as possible but this usually just aggravates and prolongs the problem.

The key is you must use them at least 3-4 times per day to keep your skin clear of oil for long periods of time. Many people only use them once per day and this will not work.

2. Try Salicylic Acid Treatment
This is helpful and can also be found at any store typically. Many have turned to this solution because of the strong base it provides. Be catious to read the directions and any warnings on this type of product before using.

3. Retinol Treatment
This is usually applied at night and is good for skin cell renewal to keep pores cleaner and less likely to get blocked. You can also find this at the store as it is usually sold over the counter.

These are the top three things that you can try on your own before you spend a lot of big money on a dermatologist or on other high priced acne treatments that may not work. The easiest solution is to try the fragrance free cleansor as it will be the cheapest and make sure you use it at least 3-4 times per day. Repetition is the key to getting rid of acne to keep you skin clean and healthy to eliminate all the pores.

Acne is basically an inflammatory skin disorder. Usually with acne, pimples, blackheads, and/or whiteheads are present. If you suffer from acne, you are not alone. Acne affects about 80 percent of Americans between the ages of twelve and forty-four. Those who suffer from acne can experience great emotional stress and that can have an affect on one s self-esteem.

Hormones stimulate the production of keratin and sebum (an oily lubricant) and if sebum is secreted faster than it can make its way through the pore, a blemish is formed. Bacteria are trapped inside the pore and the result is either a blackhead or a whitehead. Blackheads arise when sebum and skin pigments together plug the pores and if scales beneath the surface layer of skin become filled with sebum, a whitehead appears. In severe cases, whiteheads spread under the skin, rupture, and the inflammation spreads.

There are several factors that can contribute to acne: heredity, hormonal imbalances, allergies, stress, drugs, oily skin, menstrual cycles, and candidiasis. Also nutritional deficiencies and diets high in saturated fats can encourage acne breakouts. Also if the body has too much toxic waste for the kidneys and liver to eliminate, the skin takes over the task by eliminating toxins through sweat which can contribute to acne.

If the pores of the skin become clogged, acne can flourish. Dust, dirt, and grime from pollution are to blame. It is very important to cleanse the skin properly with the proper skin care products.

Choose a non irritating cleanser containing ingredients such as salicylic acid, licochalone, chamomile, aloe vera, feverfew, or niacinamide. These ingredients can help to reduce redness, inflammation, and acne, and also unclog pores. Stay away from cleansers that produce lots of suds as these contain detergents and may irritate inflammation. Avoid sodium lauryl sulfate, a detergent sometimes used in skin care products.

For the treatment of pimples, do not steam your face or place ice cubes on pimples. These methods can cause changes in temperature that can increase inflammation. Try some spot treatments for pimples.

Finally, retinoids can be used topically and some people report a decrease in oil formation on the skin. Retinoids increase cell renewal thereby reducing dead cell buildup and the formation of blackheads.

Squeezing or picking at acne lesions definitely will make them worse. There is also an increased chance that you will spread the bacteria trapped in those papules and pustules by popping or poking your blemishes.

Acne scarring and permanent discoloration are also very unpleasant results of pinching your acne lesions. Although it seems like you are doing the best thing by removing the debris from your blocked pore, you are actually doing more harm than good.

Many times mild to moderate acne can be treated naturally. Natural treatment involves no harsh medications, such as Accutane, that can cause serious and harmful side effects. Natural treatment involves adjusting the lifestyle to get rid of toxins in the body that are causing acne breakouts. Natural treatments also use herbs to help jump-start the workings of the liver and other cleansing organs to help cleanse your body.

Acne is caused by either hormonal imbalances, such as the acne that occurs during pregnancy, or the pores being clogged by a substance known as sebum. Many people think of acne as a problem of adolescence, but it is becoming increasingly a problem of adults as well. Acne is usually found on the face, shoulders, neck and back. If it is bad enough, acne can cause terrible scarring.

Several natural occurrences can cause breakouts or worsening of acne. When a woman gets her menstrual cycle, the hormonal changes premenstrually can cause an acne flair-up. Some prescription medications, specifically those designed to change hormonal levels, can cause acne. Obesity is another cause, due to the change in the hormones associated with being overweight. Stress is another factor. A poor diet, especially one high in sugars and trans fatty acids is yet another cause.

One of the first areas to target to help cure acne is the diet. Unprocessed foods are the best possible foods for those who wish to combat acne. Vegetables and fruit should make up a large portion of the diet. Refined sugar and fried foods should be avoided whenever possible. Milk products can be another problem, as well as hydrogenated vegetable oil. Avoid these things and increase the consumption of water and fiber. Those suffering from acne should monitor their bowel movements and strive to consume enough fiber eventually to have a bowel movement with every meal. This helps eliminate the toxins in the body that can lead to acne.

There are also several vitamins and herbs that help to stimulate the body to cleanse itself and get rid of the unsightly acne. Vitamin A helps the body reduce the production of sebum. On popular and dangerous, prescription drug, Accutane, is a high dose of vitamin A. The problem with this drug is that it can cause severe birth defects if a woman who is taking it becomes pregnant and it can also lead to depression in teenagers. It is better to take an over-the-counter Vitamin A supplement.

Zinc also helps to prevent acne, as well as heal current breakouts. Zinc helps to regulate the hormonal imbalances that can cause acne. Vitamin B6 is another helpful vitamin, particularly for women suffering from menstrual acne breakouts. The herbs sarsaparilla, yellow dock, cleavers and burdock take together help clear the body of lymph infections and therefore of acne. Tea tree oil can be applied directly to acne spots to help reduce the pain and appearance of the problem.

Sometimes those who suffer from acne find relief from massage treatments. The process of improving circulation to the affected areas often helps reduce the acne breakouts. Finally, reducing the stress in your life can help take away your acne. Relaxation techniques work to this effect.

Acne is an opportunistic fighter. It hits you when you�re already down. It usually doesn�t lead the charge; but it shows up after a long battle has been fought.

When Acne does show up, it�s the sign of an already compromised liver. Acne assaults the liver, by piggybacking on a two-pronged strategy, toxins and hormones.

Acne and Toxins

This avenue of attack shows how good an opportunistic enemy acne is. Daily we battle exhaust fumes, smoke, and all kinds of pesticides in the food we eat. Also, metals in the water we drink, and other toxic agents. The liver must filter out this garbage.

The constant onslaught frustrates and slows down the liver. Acne then quietly slips in. Do you get constipated? Does your acne appear after your constipation has gone?

How about a skin rash? When you�ve finally gotten rid of your rash, up pops acne. Has this ever happened to you? This shows the nature of acne�opportunistic! It comes after a battle has already been waged. Be vigilant! Know your body.

Acne and Hormones.

Hormones out of whack are a major cause of acne. Regulating hormones is a function of the liver. Too many hormones in the system results in over-abundance of oil production in the skin.

This leads to clogged pores resulting in acne. The groundwork for acne has been laid by a hormonal imbalance. Acne loves to piggyback.

Function of the Liver

The liver functions along these lines. The food you eat is broken down by your stomach acids. The blood in your stomach is like a train. It picks up and carries the food throughout your body. Before your food goes on that train ride though, it must be screened.

That�s were your liver comes in.

It screens the baggage (food/blood). Then the baggage passes through the liver check point. As it passes through, it is stamped approved by a bile marker. Bile assists with further breakdown for easier digestion and absorption. The nutrient-rich blood is then sent on its way.

Conclusion

Acne is frustrating. We can be diligent and watch for constipation and other known acne forerunners. But then, out of the blue, acne appears.

One reason for its sudden appearance could be an over abundance of hormones racing around in your system. These hormones may not present a trigger. So you believe that your acne came from out of nowhere. That�s the frustrating part.

Using a dirty washcloth does not cause acne. However, if you have acne and then repeatedly use the same unclean washcloth for cleansing, the bacteria that remains on the cloth may spread and cause new breakouts and could possibly make your existing breakouts worse.

We recommend that you launder your washcloths at least every other day. It is also helpful to wash other items frequently that come into contact with your acne, such as pillowcases, sheets, and comforters.

More than likely, if you are a teenager going through puberty, when male or female hormones are still changing randomly and haphazardly, your acne will go away when hormone levels become more consistent.

During pregnancy, it is also very common for acne problems to become more prominent and suddenly, after pregnancy, seem to disappear. This again is related to hormonal changes related to normal body physiology.

Most patients who suffer from acne as teenagers can expect acne to become less active in their mid to late 20's as hormone levels become more consistent and teen stress begins to subside. However, 30% of adults do continue to suffer from acne, making it important for them to find the best acne treatment available. Reversion Acne Control can help those who suffer from adult acne by presenting a long term solution to acne breakouts.

There are various types of facial scrubs, but all share the property of being abrasive. One type of scrub is made from small particles such as ground fruit seeds or other vegetable material. They are designed to act like miniature sandpaper particles to remove dead skin cells from the skin surface. While facial scrubs might succeed in removing waxy blackhead plugs, the skin surface is left abraded, raw, or at least irritated. This irritation leads to inflammation and then sets the stage for making acne worse and often becoming more bacteria-infested.

Another type of facial scrub is made from synthetic materials in the form of a cloth or pad such as �buff-Puff� TM. Frequently, the companies that make these materials claim that they will gently exfoliate dead skin cells, so we tend to use them over and over. In between uses, these scrub pads are usually placed in the shower soap dish or some other warm, moist place. These conditions make an ideal culture medium for bacteria from the "exfoliated skin" to multiply overnight. The next time the scrub is used, acne breakouts can be re-infected!

Whenever possible, you should use natural acne treatments to clear your acne. Natural treatments avoid the side effects and cost of expensive acne products and procedures. However, that�s not all, if you continue to follow your natural regimen, you will continue to eliminate those conditions that cause you acne.

One of the worst problems associated with acne is scarring. This causes emotional stress that may be far worse than the physical problems associated with acne. When acne problems begin to surface, your first reaction is to spend more money on an acne treatment. That gets expensive.

The skin is the biggest organ of the body. It helps the other body organs to eliminate waste. Therefore, one of the best natural treatments for acne involves your diet. If you eat healthy foods, you will have a much better chance of avoiding acne breakouts.

On the other hand, if you eat a lot of junk food and chocolate, your skin will show it. Frequently, your skin is a reflection of an unhealthy inside. Instead of eating chips and chocolate, drink naturally sweetened fruit juices and lots of water. Consider foods that are lower in fat.

In addition to a change in your diet, avoid irritating your skin. Don�t pick at your pimples or zits. Always wash your skin with a mild soap. Wear loose clothing so your skin can get as much air as possible. Try to avoid stressful situations.

Although it is true that some people will require medication, the majority of the people who suffer from acne will benefit from a natural acne treatment.

Acne is no laughing matter for those who

Acne is no laughing matter for those who suffer from this ailment, but acne treatment does not have to be difficult to find. With some of the more common types, it can be relatively easy and cheap to resolve the condition, and with the more severe strains of acne it would be recommended to get a doctor's medical opinion.

However you choose to go about getting your acne diagnosed and cured, and making yourself the most informed about your condition as you can in order get help.

At first it can seem overwhelming to you to be afflicted with acne, especially in the case of the original bout with the acne, but by researching your ailment you allow yourself to get the best of all possible aids that you can find. When you leave out no detail for possible avenues of information, you can be assured that you can have confidence in finding and getting the solution that's right for you to use, but don't let all of the hype and advertising just force you to choose something ineffective.

There are many things to keep in mind when you have finally setting on the path to cure your acne. One of these methods is to realize that a resolution of any kind takes time, and there are no immediate or "miracle" cures to acne, all treatments take the proper time to be effective for the solution you choose to work well. Some other factors to consider is one solution that may work for a friend may not be the right one for you, and at this juncture, it is advised to consult with a dermatologist.

A dermatologist's professional medical advice will allow for you to make a more informed decision overall. They can prescribe stronger treatments for those cases that they've considered many influences about like the severity of the acne, co-existing conditions, and a patient's age, skin type, and lifestyle. Once these factors are considered, a dermatologist will have an easier time of prescribing a proper treatment for the severity of the ailments, and may recommend two or more of these.

Skin type and the kind of acne lesions present are some of the more important things when considering a solution, and the solution appropriate for one person you know may not be the most well-recommended solution for you, it may even make the condition worse if you are not careful in choosing the appropriate resolution.

Six to eight weeks is the average that it may take to see your acne clear up, but there are never any quick solutions to the problem of truly persistent acne problems.

With all these factors to consider, it can be perplexing for you to find a cure quickly, and with all the heavy advertising out there now it can be even more confusing and hectic an ordeal to go through. Though with a professional dermatologist's help, and the proper research before tackling any kind of a solution for yourself, you can be confident that you will best be suited to be able to find that treatment that will work for you. There is no "overnight" resolution for the problems of acne now.

Any chronic wound or delayed healing process in the skin will cause scarring, whether it be from a surgical wound with complications, an embedded splinter that takes days, weeks or months to work its way out, or an acne pustule that cannot heal.

If acne persists for several weeks as a pustule or infected area that cannot heal because of fluid being trapped under the skin, the probability of scarring increases. It is for this reason that dermatologists sometimes extract comedones or sebaceous plugs in follicles. This procedure is done in order to open the outlet for debris to exit the skin. In cases of deep cystic acne, a physician might actually incise and drain the acne lesion to minimize future scarring.

Using an acne treatment product that controls acne in its early stages to prevent the formation of fluid-filled pockets is the best way to prevent permanent scarring from acne.

What Are Some Acne Tips to Help Prevent Permanent Scars?

Although you might already have some permanent acne scars, you should be able to minimize the development of any new scars. Some important acne tips are:

As soon as a new breakout lesion begins, start to control its progression by administering acne medication.
Don�t pick or squeeze.
Use the Reversion Acne Control System twice daily.
Remember that fluid filled or pustule lesions cannot heal until the fluid is gone. This may require an antibiotic, a chemical peel, or even mechanical extraction by a skin care professional.
Get plenty of rest and drink 8 glasses of water each day.
Start taking an oral antibiotic early if pustular lesions develop and persist for more than 2-3 days.

Acne and hormones-

Acne is caused by the excess production of sebaceous glands. These glands also begin shedding more dead cells at the same time and block the gland forming acne. Hormones control all these. Can we not do anything about them to keep acne away? Let us find out.

Hormonal changes-

We undergo lot of hormonal changes during our puberty. The male hormones- androgens that are found both in males and females cause excess production of sebum. These hormones are found in much lesser quantity in women. After puberty, women undergo lot many hormonal changes during pregnancy and because of birth control pills. But men do not experience these hormonal changes.

What about adult acne?

It is accepted that women may get acne because of hormones in adult hood, but why do men get acne in adulthood? There must be some associated hormonal change or some other reason.

Acne in adult men-

Men do not undergo hormonal changes after puberty for many years. There is something called male menopause, but one does not hear of men getting acne at that age. Why people still keep on getting acne? It seems that in some men the hormones remain actively changing for a longer period and they have some tendency to form acne at a later age also. One must consult the doctor to find out about what can be done to control hormones to stop acne formation.

Acne, or pimples, is a really bad skin condition that effects an individual's self esteem. It is not widely known that there are solutions available to treat the skin and get rid of those red dots. As well as that, people have false beliefs about it as well. Many think it will just go away one day. Yet sadly for many individuals, it can turn out to be a lifelong condition.

Just Exactly What Is It?

The skin on your facial area gets infected and the result is pimples forming. What happens is that bacteria enters through the pores of your skin. As the skin produces too much oil the bacteria have a nice warm and moist area in which to multiply. If the skin is not being exfoliated regularly, then dead skin cells become trapped and provide nutrition for the bacteria to feed on. As the skin reacts trying to get rid of the bacteria, pimples are formed.

Common Myths About Acne

Many myths surround what causes pimples to form. Foods like chocolate and greasy French fries for example have been blamed for pimples occuring. However, these have no real part in developing pimples at all. What does happen though is that they harm your body's ability to heal the infections. Usually, eating foodstuffs like that does not result in a healthy balanced diet. Without a balanced diet your body's ability to fight infections is diminished.

Pimples can be treated effectively today, and that is the good news. However, you will need to take the steps necessary in order to do so. By making use of medications and a good skin care regimen your problem can be lessened and even cured completely.

The face is where the pimples commonly appear. This of course damages your self esteem. But by dealing with the problem your self esteem will increase as the pimples disappear. Most everyone will have an episode of pimples during their lifetime, with varying severity, and it has nothing at all to do with being unclean or dirty. You just need to aid your skin in dealing with the problem.

During pregnancy, it is also very common for acne problems to become more prominent and suddenly, after pregnancy, seem to disappear. This again is related to hormonal changes related to normal body physiology.

Most patients who suffer from acne as teenagers can expect acne to become less active in their mid to late 20's as hormone levels become more consistent and teen stress begins to subside. However, 30% of adults do continue to suffer from acne, making it important for them to find the best acne treatment available. Reversion Acne Control can help those who suffer from adult acne by presenting a long term solution to acne breakouts.

Acne is basically an inflammatory skin disorder. Usually with acne, pimples, blackheads, and/or whiteheads are present. If you suffer from acne, you are not alone. Acne affects about 80 percent of Americans between the ages of twelve and forty-four. Those who suffer from acne can experience great emotional stress and that can have an affect on one�s self-esteem.

Hormones stimulate the production of keratin and sebum (an oily lubricant) and if sebum is secreted faster than it can make its way through the pore, a blemish is formed. Bacteria are trapped inside the pore and the result is either a blackhead or a whitehead. Blackheads arise when sebum and skin pigments together plug the pores and if scales beneath the surface layer of skin become filled with sebum, a whitehead appears. In severe cases, whiteheads spread under the skin, rupture, and the inflammation spreads.

There are several factors that can contribute to acne: heredity, hormonal imbalances, allergies, stress, drugs, oily skin, menstrual cycles, and candidiasis. Also nutritional deficiencies and diets high in saturated fats can encourage acne breakouts. Also if the body has too much toxic waste for the kidneys and liver to eliminate, the skin takes over the task by eliminating toxins through sweat which can contribute to acne.

If the pores of the skin become clogged, acne can flourish. Dust, dirt, and grime from pollution are to blame. It is very important to cleanse the skin properly with the proper skin care products.

Choose a non irritating cleanser containing ingredients such as salicylic acid, licochalone, chamomile, aloe vera, feverfew, or niacinamide. These ingredients can help to reduce redness, inflammation, and acne, and also unclog pores. Stay away from cleansers that produce lots of suds as these contain detergents and may irritate inflammation. Avoid sodium lauryl sulfate, a detergent sometimes used in skin care products.

For the treatment of pimples, do not steam your face or place ice cubes on pimples. These methods can cause changes in temperature that can increase inflammation. Try some spot treatments for pimples.

Finally, retinoids can be used topically and some people report a decrease in oil formation on the skin. Retinoids increase cell renewal thereby reducing dead cell buildup and the formation of blackheads.

Acne happens to nearly every one of us at some point in our lives. It's so common that anywhere from 75 to 80% of people between the ages of 15 and 35 have skin problems.

The rise in over the counter remedies has risen dramatically and while some work for some people, many of us are forced to seek professional help from dermatologists.

In some cases, lotions and soaps, specifically those that contain Benzoyl peroxide can eliminate bacteria.

Sometimes antibiotics will be used along with products like Accutane which can help keep skin pores open and minimize any scarring.

Contrary to popular belief, just washing your face often may not be enough. Zits actually form when hair follicles get clogged up and this blocks the skin's oil elimination route.

This oil called sebum, and it's excretion, can be increased in some individuals due to genetics and may also rise during puberty.

Under the skin, blocked sebum creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and this can cause inflammation which ultimately culminates into pimples.

By all means, it's not a bad thing to wash your face and try to keep it clean. Just don't overdo it since this can cause more problems.

There has always been a debate about chocolate and it's effects on your skin. Experts are still undecided on just how diet might affect the health of the skin, but more and more are leaning towards an overall healthy diet which can positively influence the entire body.

Drinking plenty of good clean water can help flush out toxins from the body as well as from the skin. If your diet has been rather poor before, you may see an increase in the sebum excretion for a time. If your able to follow a good diet and drink plenty of water you should see things improve after a few days.

It really needs to be kept in mind that not all remedies will work for every person. What works for one, may not work for another. With this in mind, it's important to try different options until you find a solution.

Be sure to use common sense and discretion when dealing with non-prescription products. If you continue to have problems it would then be a good idea to seek out help from a dermatologist.

Finally, it's also good to keep in mind that you should let nature run it's course and not pick or squeeze a zit if you get one. There is always a strong urge to get rid of them as fast as possible but this usually just aggravates and prolongs the problem.

Stress is not one of the causes of acne per se. Stress does stimulate our body enzyme and immune systems to cause a stimulation of the oil glands. It has been proven that lowering stress levels certainly can help to decrease oil production, and thus decrease the symptoms of acne.

Acne is an opportunistic fighter. It hits you when you�re already down. It usually doesn�t lead the charge; but it shows up after a long battle has been fought.

When Acne does show up, it�s the sign of an already compromised liver. Acne assaults the liver, by piggybacking on a two-pronged strategy, toxins and hormones.

Acne and Toxins

This avenue of attack shows how good an opportunistic enemy acne is. Daily we battle exhaust fumes, smoke, and all kinds of pesticides in the food we eat. Also, metals in the water we drink, and other toxic agents. The liver must filter out this garbage.

The constant onslaught frustrates and slows down the liver. Acne then quietly slips in. Do you get constipated? Does your acne appear after your constipation has gone?

How about a skin rash? When you�ve finally gotten rid of your rash, up pops acne. Has this ever happened to you? This shows the nature of acne�opportunistic! It comes after a battle has already been waged. Be vigilant! Know your body.

Acne and Hormones.

Hormones out of whack are a major cause of acne. Regulating hormones is a function of the liver. Too many hormones in the system results in over-abundance of oil production in the skin.

This leads to clogged pores resulting in acne. The groundwork for acne has been laid by a hormonal imbalance. Acne loves to piggyback.

Function of the Liver

The liver functions along these lines. The food you eat is broken down by your stomach acids. The blood in your stomach is like a train. It picks up and carries the food throughout your body. Before your food goes on that train ride though, it must be screened.

That�s were your liver comes in.

It screens the baggage (food/blood). Then the baggage passes through the liver check point. As it passes through, it is stamped approved by a bile marker. Bile assists with further breakdown for easier digestion and absorption. The nutrient-rich blood is then sent on its way.

Conclusion

Acne is frustrating. We can be diligent and watch for constipation and other known acne forerunners. But then, out of the blue, acne appears.

One reason for its sudden appearance could be an over abundance of hormones racing around in your system. These hormones may not present a trigger. So you believe that your acne came from out of nowhere. That�s the frustrating part.

Whenever possible, you should use natural acne treatments

Whenever possible, you should use natural acne treatments to clear your acne. Natural treatments avoid the side effects and cost of expensive acne products and procedures. However, that�s not all, if you continue to follow your natural regimen, you will continue to eliminate those conditions that cause you acne.

One of the worst problems associated with acne is scarring. This causes emotional stress that may be far worse than the physical problems associated with acne. When acne problems begin to surface, your first reaction is to spend more money on an acne treatment. That gets expensive.

The skin is the biggest organ of the body. It helps the other body organs to eliminate waste. Therefore, one of the best natural treatments for acne involves your diet. If you eat healthy foods, you will have a much better chance of avoiding acne breakouts.

On the other hand, if you eat a lot of junk food and chocolate, your skin will show it. Frequently, your skin is a reflection of an unhealthy inside. Instead of eating chips and chocolate, drink naturally sweetened fruit juices and lots of water. Consider foods that are lower in fat.

In addition to a change in your diet, avoid irritating your skin. Don�t pick at your pimples or zits. Always wash your skin with a mild soap. Wear loose clothing so your skin can get as much air as possible. Try to avoid stressful situations.

Although it is true that some people will require medication, the majority of the people who suffer from acne will benefit from a natural acne treatment.

Skin type and the kind of acne lesions present are some of the more important things when considering a solution, and the solution appropriate for one person you know may not be the most well-recommended solution for you, it may even make the condition worse if you are not careful in choosing the appropriate resolution.

Acne or pimples affects almost everybody. Though most pimples heal without leaving any scar, some severe acne leave scars, pits, uneven skin on healing. As pimples mostly affect face, scars and pits look unsightly. Although not life threatening, acne can cause depression and low self esteem.

The number of over-the-counter products available for the prevention and treatment of acne are numerous. Some of these products have been developed to reduce the chances of the development of acne by including substances designed to unclog the pores. There are also cleansers, which are designed to do a simple job - cleanse the skin and remove excess oils and dirt to help control breakouts. While it's true that some over-the-counter products are somewhat helpful for the treatment of acne, it's also true that some of these could harm your skin.

Among the most popular products used to cleanse the skin is soap. Although this product might be helpful for some people, it also can aggravate the acne afflicted areas depending on your skin type, skin sensitivity, and actual acne condition. So, if you plan to use a cleanser it is very important that you get one that will work best with your skin type, skin sensitivity, and acne condition. This will help you avoid further irritation to your skin and will promote faster healing. For instance, if your skin is oily, it is recommended you use soaps that are practically oil-free, as products containing a substantial amount of oil will add oil to your skin, causing the pores to become clogged and subsequent breakouts to occur. On the other hand, if you have sensitive skin, you'd better stay away from fragrant soaps for the chemicals in them can cause breakouts too.

Another popular over-the-counter product that can cause negative effects on your acne condition is cosmetics. It has been reported that certain makeup products contain chemicals that can cause breakouts. This is due to the clogging of the pores and irritation of the skin produced by these products. So, if you didn't know about this, you might want to find out what is in your cosmetic products from now on. This is especially true in the case that recently you've been suffering more breakouts than normal or if you've been feeling something is irritating your skin. The answer to all of this might be in your cosmetics. Nowadays, you can easily find lots of information about the cosmetic products you buy - about its ingredients, what they should be used for, and even the skin type it works best on! With all this information, there's no reason why you shouldn't find some good cosmetics for your skin. However, you must get those that won't worsen your acne. The recommended cosmetics for acne sufferers are cosmetics that are non-cometigenic. These cosmetics won't clog your pores.

Again, keep in mind to always choose your acne products carefully. If you'd like to be consistent, you might even want to try sticking to one brand for your daily regimen. When you use a specific line of products that has been designed to work together it will help you promote healing and prevention in the same way. Avoid harsh, over-the-counter products that can irritate your skin. And don't forget that, in case any product irritates your skin simply stop its use immediately and find one that doesn't. As an ultimate solution, consult a physician if the use of over-the-counter hygiene products isn't doing the trick.

When washing your skin, always do it gently. But never over wash your skin as this can cause it to become irritated and breakouts to occur. No matter how hard you try but simply over washing your skin will not remove any more dirt and oil but will only cause irritation. Also, stop squeezing your pimples. The only thing you'll accomplish if you pinch your pimples is to cause the bacteria to go deeper within the skin. And this in turn will cause the area around the pimple to become irritated and inflamed. To alleviate the problem and bring out the pus, the best solution is to cleanse the area and use a toner instead.

Scalp acne can be a very distressing problem but it is also one that not a lot of people are aware of due to a lack of publicity. Scalp acne is not as common as some of the other types of acne such as facial acne but it is still very distressing for the sufferer. Although it is concealed to a certain extent it can be more obvious when it is at the edge of the hair.

Some types of scalp acne can be quite mild and many people will go to the pharmacist and buy something to use themselves for this. Although it is possible to have a very mild type of scalp acne, there are also more severe types that require treatment on a more professional basis. If you are at all worried about your scalp acne or if it is irritating then it is best to see a dermatologist. They can help you to choose the best way of treating it so that you do not suffer from too much itchiness.

Scalp acne can be just as irritating as any other type of acne to the sufferer and it can easily be made worse by using the wrong type of hair products. It is always best to ask the pharmacies for a recommendation before buying any hair care products if you think that you might have scalp acne. It is important to make sure that the hair is kept clean because too much oil on the scalp can also be bad for this type of acne.

One change that you can make yourself is to make sure that your diet is good.

Many times mild to moderate acne can be treated naturally. Natural treatment involves no harsh medications, such as Accutane, that can cause serious and harmful side effects. Natural treatment involves adjusting the lifestyle to get rid of toxins in the body that are causing acne breakouts. Natural treatments also use herbs to help jump-start the workings of the liver and other cleansing organs to help cleanse your body.

Acne is caused by either hormonal imbalances, such as the acne that occurs during pregnancy, or the pores being clogged by a substance known as sebum. Many people think of acne as a problem of adolescence, but it is becoming increasingly a problem of adults as well. Acne is usually found on the face, shoulders, neck and back. If it is bad enough, acne can cause terrible scarring.

Several natural occurrences can cause breakouts or worsening of acne. When a woman gets her menstrual cycle, the hormonal changes premenstrually can cause an acne flair-up. Some prescription medications, specifically those designed to change hormonal levels, can cause acne. Obesity is another cause, due to the change in the hormones associated with being overweight. Stress is another factor. A poor diet, especially one high in sugars and trans fatty acids is yet another cause.

One of the first areas to target to help cure acne is the diet. Unprocessed foods are the best possible foods for those who wish to combat acne. Vegetables and fruit should make up a large portion of the diet. Refined sugar and fried foods should be avoided whenever possible. Milk products can be another problem, as well as hydrogenated vegetable oil. Avoid these things and increase the consumption of water and fiber. Those suffering from acne should monitor their bowel movements and strive to consume enough fiber eventually to have a bowel movement with every meal. This helps eliminate the toxins in the body that can lead to acne.

There are also several vitamins and herbs that help to stimulate the body to cleanse itself and get rid of the unsightly acne. Vitamin A helps the body reduce the production of sebum. On popular and dangerous, prescription drug, Accutane, is a high dose of vitamin A. The problem with this drug is that it can cause severe birth defects if a woman who is taking it becomes pregnant and it can also lead to depression in teenagers. It is better to take an over-the-counter Vitamin A supplement.

Zinc also helps to prevent acne, as well as heal current breakouts. Zinc helps to regulate the hormonal imbalances that can cause acne. Vitamin B6 is another helpful vitamin, particularly for women suffering from menstrual acne breakouts. The herbs sarsaparilla, yellow dock, cleavers and burdock take together help clear the body of lymph infections and therefore of acne. Tea tree oil can be applied directly to acne spots to help reduce the pain and appearance of the problem.

Sometimes those who suffer from acne find relief from massage treatments. The process of improving circulation to the affected areas often helps reduce the acne breakouts. Finally, reducing the stress in your life can help take away your acne. Relaxation techniques work to this effect.

I have read with a tinge of sadness

I have read with a tinge of sadness the numerous articles about acne. My sadness stems from the fact that many don�t seem to get it. But I�ll say it one more time because it is that important.

Acne originates from diet. There�I said it again.

The foundation from which acne makes it appearance stems from diet. I say this again, you are what you eat. Its as simple as that. Our problem could be that we are missing the forest because there are too many trees.

Don�t look for the complex explanation for why acne makes its appearance. Look to the simple explanation first.

If your light bulb goes out when you�re in bed reading, do you immediately call the electrician? No�of course you don�t. You check to see whether the bulb has blown first. If the bulb is intact, then you check the fuse box right?

Why are we so bent on finding some complex explanation for the cause of acne. Its staring you right in the face.

Understand this; if you sit down to a daily meal of hamburger and french fries, what do you expect to happen? You are supposed to eventually get acne.

Grease and dead meat?

What else do you expect?

The amount of cholesterol in that meal is transferred to your body. It goes to work, slowly but surely setting you up for heart disease, cancer, stroke etc.

Its all in your diet!

Whenever acne rears its ugly whiteheads, the rot has already set in. Acne is a sign of poor food choices. Acne is a certain barometer that the internal body chemistry is unbalanced.

A friend of mine was explaining to me recently how people got acne. He essentially said that the body has a hormone called, (glad I�m writing this), dihydro-testosterone, or more simply DHT. He also told me that everyone has oil glands under the skin. We�re on the same page so far.

He went on to tell me that acne occurs when the oil glands under the skin secretes so much oil that the oil clogs the pores.

This DHT is the bad boy in the chain reaction because it over stimulates the oil glands. They in turn produce too much oil, from the over stimulation.

Once the pores are sufficiently blocked and clogged, whiteheads and blackheads and pimples erupt into acne. So the trick then, is to control DHT isn�t it?

At this juncture, I am unsure of the drug used for tackling DHT. In all honesty I don�t even know if there is such a drug.

Before I go any further, my hat is off to the fine researchers who sleuthed this entire scenario. I�m a firm believer that acne erupts this way. Far be it from me to disbelieve the scientists. They have so much more education than me.

I do have a question though?

When do they advise to take this acne wonder drug?

When acne appears? In that case it�s a bit late.

If they advise to take it on a consistent basis, then I must seriously ask about the side effects?

My friends, lets stop the games, the solution lies in diet.

Look, DHT over stimulates the oil glands in the first place because there is an internal imbalance that needs to be addressed. Address the internal imbalance and DHT will do what it�s rightly supposed to do.

I take the view that we are wonderfully created. No mistakes, and certainly no imbalances. If there is an imbalance, we need to look at what we�re doing.

The only thing you'll accomplish if you pinch your pimples is to cause the bacteria to go deeper within the skin. And this in turn will cause the area around the pimple to become irritated and inflamed. To alleviate the problem and bring out the pus, the best solution is to cleanse the area and use a toner instead.

Will A Scrub Help Clear Acne?

There are various types of facial scrubs, but all share the property of being abrasive. One type of scrub is made from small particles such as ground fruit seeds or other vegetable material. They are designed to act like miniature sandpaper particles to remove dead skin cells from the skin surface. While facial scrubs might succeed in removing waxy blackhead plugs, the skin surface is left abraded, raw, or at least irritated. This irritation leads to inflammation and then sets the stage for making acne worse and often becoming more bacteria-infested.

Another type of facial scrub is made from synthetic materials in the form of a cloth or pad such as �buff-Puff� TM. Frequently, the companies that make these materials claim that they will gently exfoliate dead skin cells, so we tend to use them over and over. In between uses, these scrub pads are usually placed in the shower soap dish or some other warm, moist place. These conditions make an ideal culture medium for bacteria from the "exfoliated skin" to multiply overnight. The next time the scrub is used, acne breakouts can be re-infected!

Acne is a type of skin lesion infected by a bacterium called P.Acnes. The lesion is formed due to blockage of sebum follicle thereby trapping sebum. Acne affects almost everybody. It affects most during adolescence. However for many it continues into late adult hood. However, after 20s acne is reduced considerably for most. Acne that appears during adulthood is generally termed as adult acne. However this acne is not very much different from the acne in adolescence. It generally affects the chest and back. Treatment for adult acne is no different from the usual treatment for acne. The treatments available are:

Anti bacterial acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment antibacterials like benzoyl peroxide, triclosan and chlorhexidine gluconate are used to kill the bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide is considered the best over the counter acne product.

Skin defoliant acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment skin defoliants like salicylic acid and glycolic acid are used to open up the pores.

Antibiotic acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment antibiotics like clindamycin, erythromycin, and tetracycline are applied on the affected area or taken orally to kill the bacteria.

Retinoidal acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment retinoids like tretinoin, adapaline, retinol and isotretinoin are used to regulate the follicle life cycle.

Hormonal acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment hormones like cyproterone, drospirenone and cortisone are used to control the sebum production.

Acne light treatment: The latest acne treatment is phototherapy or acne light treatment in which the affected area is irradiated with light of a particular wavelength. The light kills the bacteria by producing free radicals in the bacteria. It has been found to be quite effective.

Self medication can be dangerous. Consult your doctor before using any medicine listed above. The acne medicines are given generally in combination with dietary supplements like Acuzine. They work by providing vital ingredients required by the skin to recover. Acuzine consists of ingredients like anti-oxidants, vitamins E & C, hydrolyzed collagen, ALA, DMAE, Aloe vera, Bioperine etc useful for rebuilding the skin.
