Acne- Causes And Effects! |
|
|
Just hearing the word "Acne" automatically has you associating
it as a teenagers condition. So often it is surrounded by myth
and misconception and numerous 'old-wives tales' about the best
ways to cure it.
Unfortunately this does very little to genuinely help the
teenager that's afraid to come out of the dark corner due to
their embarrassment of their appearance.
The cause of acne has long been debated with little resolution
as to the actual cause of it. It still baffles and mystifies
even the most senior specialists.
What is known however is that acne originates from the sebaceous
glands beneath the skin. What happens is that these sebaceous
glands release an oil that turns into a firm white substance
known as sebum. This then permeates up |

through the entrance of a
hair follicle and bursts out through the surface of the skin to
appear as a pimple.
The exact type of acne one may suffer from may be classified
into either a non-inflammatory or an inflammatory form of acne.
Non-inflammatory acne is the least severe of the two and is seen
by the occasional breakout of a pimple, blackhead or whitehead.
This is the form of acne that nearly everyone will experience at
some point in time.
The more severe form of acne is inflammatory acne and is usually
characterized by excessive pimples and zits and pocks on the
face as well as other areas such as the back, neck and groin.
One thing that we must never forget about acne is it's
psychological effect!
Being a teenager |

The teenage years are when acne usually starts. The body starts producing more sebum, and in turn this sebum or oil clog up the hair follicles in the skin and cause acne. The sebum is excreted from the sebaceous glands to the skin surface.
I foolishly picked up a plastic honey bear that was in a pot of boiling water, and the honey squirted out all over the palm of my hand. Immediately, I ran it under cold water, and then I ran to get your book because I knew there was something I could put on burns that was natural: MUSTARD.
Global warming, decreasing ozone layer, exposure to multiple chemicals and cosmetics, faulty lifestyles and wrong eating habits, invasive fashions and the changing human behavioural patterns has lead to multiple skin problems from minor to those of major life threatening ones.

isn't easy in fact it can be quite a difficult
period at the best of times just trying to identify where you
fit in the world. Add an acne problem and it just gets even
tougher.
Pimple or zits on a teenagers face can severely dent their
already fragile self esteem and lead to poor confidence, shyness
and even seclusion.
As we continue to strive to find the cause and cure for acne, we
must never loose sight or overlook the effects it can have on
our young.
