Skin Care

 It is assumed by most of our society that everyone fully understands exactly what acne is. But as with any term that is thrown around so much in casual conversation, over time you will have some people who missed out on the actual definition. For these people, it takes real motivation to find some understanding soul to convey a good definition of the term acne. I hope this article conveys that definition simply and concisely to anyone seeking to understand acne.

Acne Vulgaris is the scientific name for acne. Acne is a fairly under-studied disease despite having been around since the beginning of man. To this day doctors have been unable to find one single treatment to resolve all cases of acne and so there is a lot of trial and error involved in the treatment of this condition. Patients are asked to try one treatment after another until they find the solution that will work for them. The fact that the skin takes a long time to show improvements even when a particular treatment is working only adds to the frustration an acne sufferer goes through. Take heart though; there are indeed effective treatments for all acne including the most severe cases. It just takes time.

That’s enough of what is not known about acne; here is what is known about the condition of acne:

The cause of acne is not complicated. It is caused by blocked skin pores. Oil and dead skin layers are what blocks the pores. Androgen hormones cause the sebaceous glands to produce too much oil, then excessive skin oils and bacteria are trapped below the surface of the skin. The area becomes inflamed and the mixture begins to leak into surrounding skin. The resulting build up causes redness, swelling and pus; in other words, a pimple (either a whitehead or a blackhead) as seen on the surface of the skin.

Because it does take to time for any effective treatment to become visible it is best to seek treatment for acne sooner rather than later. Also, acne is a progressive condition; meaning it is a condition that will move from mild to moderate to severe if treatment is not sought early on. Most everyone gets acne at some point in their lives. In fact, the statistics are that 85% of people in any given place have suffered from acne at some time usually during the teenage years. Women tend to fight acne well into their 40′s or 50′s as a result of menstrual cycles and hormonal changes.

When men develop acne it is usually induced by stress. Severe acne can, and often does, cause permanent scarring of the skin. It is far better to seek medical treatment for acne before it reaches the stage of being severe to enable a better chance of fully recovering unscathed. If you are currently suffering from acne, the most important decision that you can make is the decision to seek treatment and to halt the progression of the skin disease.
