During the early years of adolescence, both boys and girls are at greater risk of developing acne when the body's fat cells produce excess sebum (a greasy oil-like skin oil). In people with acne, these excess skin cells combine with the oil and attach to the hair follicles. Adding to the problem, your body constantly destroys dead skin cells - and some people have "sticky" skin cells that do not normally break down - which stay attached to the skin.
Common Myths
There are many floating legends out there about what causes acne. Let's direct some now.
- Dirt does not cause acne - A dark head may look like dirt connecting one of your pores, but that is not the cause.
- Sebum and skin cells merge sometimes rise to the opening of the pore. But the real cause is still inside the pore. - Enjoy your chocolate and French fridges. Indulging in these preferences does not increase the production of sebum on the skin. - Some of you may be told that having sex or masturbating can cause acne. It's not fair.
Who Gets the Most Chief? While both boys and girls can get acne - they are more likely to get worse than boys because their bodies produce a lot of skin oil. Surprisingly, your immune system can work, too - making you more sensitive to bacteria trapped in the hair follicles.
What makes acne so bad? - If you use cosmetics, suntan products, or oil-containing hair products - they can add to the problem of connecting the pore.
- Being under pressure - such as applying to schools, or facing grades, or dating pressures - can help bring in bosses
. - During puberty, hormone levels can create more sebum in the skin, which can increase inflammation
. - Also, be aware of the sun- not only can it damage your skin and cause premature aging - but it can also cause acne. While keeping your skin clean is an important part of treatment, remember to be gentle - not scratching hard, not being partial or squeezing. You can survive the bosses.
Treatment may include:
Unwritten treatment ("over the counter")
It is treated with headlines: "Topic" means you put these products on your skin. They are not pills. These include ethanoic acid, peroxide, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, and sulfur. These treatments are available in many forms, including gels, lotions, creams, soaps, and packs. When used regularly, these products are effective in treating acne. It can take 4-8 weeks for the skin to develop.
Prescription drugs: These include adapalene, antibiotics, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, dapsone, tazarotene, and tretinoin. Prescription drugs: For people with moderate to severe acne, doctors often prescribe antibiotics in addition to various medications.
Oral antibiotics are thought to help control acne by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, thus reducing inflammation. They are usually taken daily for four to six months and then recorded and discontinued as acne progresses. The most potent oral drug, isotretinoin (Absorica, Amnesteem, Claravis,
Myorisan and Zenatane) are typically taken once or twice each day for 16 to twenty weeks. It is believed that it reduces the size of the oil glands to produce less oil and helps prevent clogs. That prevents the growth of germs that cause acne. Because of the risk of congenital disabilities, women of childbearing age should not become pregnant and should not become pregnant while taking isotretinoin.
