Plan a date; get ready for the prom, set the date for your senior picture or just want to look nice. What always happens; you know, acne, a zit as big as a cabbage lands on your face or on your nose. You feel like an alien in a land of smooth skinned movie stars. Why don’t the popular kids get acne? What are they doing that you aren’t doing. Why me; why me; why does this always happen to me. I’m a good person; why am I plagued with acne. No one knows for sure why people, especially teenagers, get acne. In the fifties and sixties, teens were told that chocolate caused acne or eating too much fried food caused acne. No one really knew anything to do except use Noxzema and pray. There were only acne treatments, no cures. Having acne was seen as a rite of passage.

Today we know much more about acne and acne treatments. Some people have acne so bad that they take prescription medicine so strong that they must sign that they will not get pregnant while taking the drug. Other people take natural acne treatments because the idea of using potentially harmful treatments scares them more than the acne. The major problem with acute acne is that it can cause acne scars so bad that people have to seek acne laser treatments to improve their skin. Still others go to the grocery store and find over the counter acne products. As anyone who has ever suffered from acne will tell you, acne can rob you of your dignity and your feelings of self-worth. Our outward appearance, especially during the teen years, is so important. I know, “Pretty is as pretty does.” Well, pretty never seems to have acne.

People can be so cruel to acne sufferers. They can call you tomato face, pimple face, scar man or hundreds of ugly taunts. Because teens need to look good to feel good about themselves, the market for acne treatments is enormous. Commercials on television are always advertising the latest in acne medications especially during teen shows. The kids on the show always have smooth, blemish free faces and look exactly like every teen wants to look. Teens want to buy whatever acne medication is new and different in the hope that this new acne treatment will work better than others.

There are even infomercials about acne treatments and acne cover-ups. These infomercials show adults who are looking for make-up to cover-up acne or acne scars. This heavy make-up does seem to cover up scaring or acne on the people doing the infomercial. There are also infomercials about adult acne solutions. Unfortunately, some adults do still get acne. There is a huge market of acne medications or acne treatments for adult acne, not on just the face but also for people who suffer from acne back. Shame makes these people fear others seeing their acne.

One truth remains. There is no cure for acne but there are steps that can be taken to help prevent it. People who think that youth is wasted on the young probably never had acne.

After years as an educator and more degrees than she can count, Frances Coleman now writes professionally. She is a prolific reader with an advanced degree in research techniques. Learn more ways to prevent acne.

Clear, blemish free skin in no time!

Pimples and zits are the products of bacteria and clogged pores. When you see a white head, the thing you squeeze and white stuff comes out of it, that is a mix of dead bacteria, blood, and the white blood cells that combatted the bacteria… the mixture is known as pus. If you must squeeze, make sure your hands are clean or you use a pimple tool. Due to the way the blood vessels in the face lead directly to drainage sinuses in the head, it has been known to occur that if you squeeze a pimple, it can lead to an infection and even meningitis… So squeeze at your own discretion. I do believe it is better to let the pimple pop when it is ripe (whiteheaded). Some pimples after treatment go away on their own but before they do, they are hard lumps beneath the skin and when they go away, they leave a faint scar.

To prevent pimples, I suggest sleep and drinking plenty of water each day, at least eight cups. During menstruation, however, due to hormone levels and changes, many females have acne. I do not know if it is true, but eating hot peppers and very oil foods may lead to pimples as well.

Overall, try not to touch your face so often. Your hands and fingers are so dirty, it’s just disgusting to add oil and germs to the pores in your skin. Having oily skin leads to breakouts, yes. Still, dry skin is uncomfortable. The following is not foolproof but it will work.

Wash your face daily with a soap. A good soap is Clinique Antibacterial Facial Soap. Follow with a toner or an astringent. After that, apply an oil-free lotion. Once a week or twice, clean your t-zone with a scrub. That will exfoliate your skin and clear some pores.

To treat pimples and zits that are incredibly big, ice them. This will not cure them but it will lessen the redness. I have heard about applying toothpaste and even wart-remover salicylic acid, but that stings and the labels on plantar wart removers say specifically to not apply them on the face. I have also heard about Cortisone or red-remover eyedrops to ease the redness of zits.

Finally, if you do have zits and they are killing your social life, just wear them proudly because underneath the blemish is clear skin and one day, you will have clear skin, unless something is wrong with you genetically. After all, if someone doesn’t like you because of how you look, that person is not a good anything at all, be he or she a friend or relative or crush or love.

Still, if you take care of your skin and prevent breakouts, it will only be a matter of time and persistence that will bring the results you seek. Hope this helps.

When my friend Sid was small he used to get pimples. His brothers used to get acne pimples as well but they were lucky because their acne used to disappear quickly. He was the unlucky one because he used to get a new one almost every other day. Everyone told him that once he will reach the age of 25 they will go away, and they did but unfortunately he contracted with rosacea, i.e. adult acne.

He used to get patchy-redness and sudden flushing all the time, sometimes he had a pimple or two but his skin used to remain oily all the time. He used to wash his face every couple of hours with medicated soap but his face used to get oily very quickly.

The problem was that he didn’t even realize that he had rosacea for the first few years until his skin specialist diagnosed him with rosacea. He became self-conscious and used to avoid gatherings. He tried many different treatments and medicines antibiotics, Retin-A you name it he tried it including herbal treatments. Even used gram flour and orange peel, which his grandma prepared and forced him to used but nothing worked for him.

First I had Acne and now adult acne, what is the problem with me? The question he used to ask himself and to everyone else almost everyday for which the answer we still don’t know.

He tried different creams and changed his skin specialist again and again to find the right one. But unfortunately nothing and no one could help him. This is because what causes rosacea is still unknown. It is still a mystery even for some doctors that which rosacea treatment is actually right for someone who has rosacea. It’s not that treatments do not work with rosacea, some treatments work well, but which one is the right one is a million dollar question.

Until one day when his mum’s ever increasing criticism became unbearable he stopped using soap, drinking more water and he started washing his face only with warm water. In his own words the first 3 weeks were terrible for him. He could not go out, he could not face anyone. I think it was just his imagination that he looked awful but after that his face accepted water and the oiliness of his face started to decline. It took about 2 months before his face started to remain dry and he got rid of oiliness.

The flushing was still the big problem for him. Even though he promised himself that he will not used any new treatment but a sudden flare-up still made him look around for treatments. Then he discovered Jojoba Oil, which was a turning point and a true-life saver for him, that’s what he says about the oil. It took about a week before his face actually accepted the oil. The best thing was the application of Jojoba oil was simple, just warm water a drop of pure jojoba oil every morning and evening and his face redness started to decline. Nowadays he doesn’t get sudden flare-ups.

I hope that some people who are suffering from acne rosacea, if increase the use of water and use jojoba oil instead of experimenting on new medicated soaps and creams then they might help them with their rosacea problem.

Annemarie Colbin, in her book "Food and Healing", makes the interesting point that diets themselves, even healing diets, are not a cure per se. They do often work, but their route to health is actually a product of supporting the body’s own healing processes.

Her view on skin conditions like acne is interesting. She sees acne as a result of the regular organs of elimination, the kidneys and lungs, being unable to eliminate all the toxic waster matter that we ingest into our bodies. She sees certain foods, like those that make up what she calls the Standard American Diet, as placing too great a stress on our body’s ability to process them, at least if symptoms of ill health are appearing like acne. She has found from her own observations that a change in diet often clears up even the large, purplish types of acne. She found this with her own experiences with acne. Annemarie says it takes about ten days to three months to work.

Annemarie describes acne as falling into two main causes in her approach. The first is associated with fat, protein and excess sugar. Here she recommends eliminating foods like milk, cheese, ice cream, fatty meats, nuts and peanut butter. The second category is associated with what she calls mineral-water excess, which is s term she uses to describe all substances taken out of their natural context. She mentions iodized salt, or even multi vitamins or supplements like kelp. This is very much a personal relationship as what negatively affects one person may not do so for another.

The link between excess minerals or vitamin supplements relates to Colbin’s idea of balance, which is that a living system always seeks to return to balance. Anatomy and physiology textbooks even define the processes of the body that way, and it is certainly a common idea in natural health systems, especially traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Colbin writes that excess minerals and vitamin supplements lead to an increased need for the macro nutrients protein, fat and carbohydrates. Salt is also in this category. The idea is that these vitamins and minerals, taken out of the context of the food itself, will lead to the body craving actual food to create a sense of balance. If we have a multi vitamin at mealtimes, within the RDA, I don’t believe this is going to present a problem. Especially given that our foods are often depleted of the range of essential nutrients that they would normally have if they were grown organically and in nutrient dense soils. But it is certainly an argument in favor of approaching nutritional supplements in a balanced way also. Some people mistakenly think more is better. This clearly illustrates it is not.

Anyone that has graced our earth, has reached a stage in their life that is known as Puberty. Puberty is a time in life, different for everyone, where the largest hormone and sexual growth takes places. Common characterstics that are defined during this time are pubic hair, voice changes, larger breasts, etc.

A common ’side effect’ to Puberty is the increased appearance of pimples. Pimples are a type of lesion on the skin that are caused by swelled or otherwise blocked pores. Most oftenly caused by acne, pimples can also be cause by other conditions such as smallpox.

The time of life when the greatest amount of growth occurs and the development of sexual characteristics (such as pubic hair, breasts in females, and lower voice in males) takes place. Noone that I have met likes pimple, and they have become a huge social issue in today’s society. This is largely due to the direct affect that they have on one’s appearance. Pimple’s have the affect of making one appear ‘dirty’.

It isn’t hard to eliminate or reduce a pimple, all you have to do is press in and down on the area from both sides. This pressure on the area will bause the skin to pop, allowing the pimple to loose it’s internal puss outwards. This is the most widely accepted method, however, it is not always recommended by dermatologists. Dermatologists have proven that in squeezing the pimple you can actually cause bacteria and puss to be pushed further into the skin, which in turn causes further irritation. Often times dirty fingers will also be the cause of prolonged infection.

What is Acne? Acne is a skin disease that is caused by the changing structures of the skin and the oils secreted by glands which when mixed with dead skin cells and an excess of oil plug the pores of the skin which become inflamed and results in the creation of pustules also known as “pimples” which are filled with pus. When ruptured with the pressure of fingers or other instruments, scars can occur depending on the damages that resulting from the extraction process if not done properly. This condition is often treated with a variety of Acne skin care products which can be successful in certain cases and not in others.

What are the causes of Acne?

There are several factors that may be responsible for causing Acne such as:

- Certain types of steroids

- Certain medication

- The presence of bacteria in the pores

- Hormone levels

- Excess of natural oils produced by glands

- Being exposed to high levels of chlorine based compounds

- Irritation of the skin

- Scratching a lot

- Dead cells accumulation

- Stress

Myths about Acne

Several myths exist about Acne which may even mislead the person affected by Acne to use the wrong skin care products or treatments which could cause damages in some cases or basically does not solve the problem.

Contrary to current beliefs, chocolate, chips and sugar have not been proven to cause Acne while milk and seafood contain ingredients that may be responsible for Acne in some people.

Acne is not caused by a poor hygiene of the skin. In fact, rough cleansing of the skin may make matters worse or dry your skin. Soap should be avoid, especially highly perfumed ones. Ask your pharmacist for the best skin care products available and suiting your type of skin. Always remove makeup before going to sleep as your skin needs a break too, just like the rest of your body.

Celibacy or masturbation is not responsible for Acne. The only correlation between sex and Acne is the fact that it produces higher levels of natural oils.

Treatments that are currently available

For smaller cases of Acne, you can ask a pharmacist for some suggestions but it is always a good idea to see a dermatologist so you can have personal advice that is specific to your skin condition. Among the treatments that may be recommended to you are:

Antibiotics that will kill the bacteria that may affect your skin.

Reduce the production of oils by swallowing some vitamin A derivates on a daily basis which can have side effects and should be monitored by your dermatologist.

Medication to regulate the lifecycle of follicle cells.

Using over the counter exfoliating skin care products which will rid the skin of dead cells but their use should be done according to the directions or your dermatologist’s advice as otherwise it may cause other problems.

Hormonal treatments can also be used to balance the level of hormones, especially the level of androgen which can be responsible for Acne.

Phototherapy is also another option but besides the high level of UV rays which can cause damage by itself, the cost of this type of therapeutic approach can be expensive as well.

Other treatments include the use of azelaic acid, zinc or alternative treatments such as the ones introduced in Nicholas Perricone’s book: “The Acne Prescription”.

Ways of the future!

Among the treatments that will more than likely be available in the near future as they are currently being studied and tested now, you may eventually be able to use the following skin care treatments:

- Laser treatments

- Gene therapy

As you can see, there are quite a variety of treatments, therapies and Acne skin care products that are available on the market. With some professional advice from either a dermatologist or pharmacist, being a teenager with an Acne problem is not as scary or without solutions. Depending on the severity of the Acne, there is a solution available to suit your needs or the ones of your teenager.

For years I taught to teenagers and I have noticed their struggle with Acne and Acne skin care products. If you wish to learn more about Acne skin care products that are both available on the market and effective, I invite you to visit our site which is at: http://skin-care.findoutnow.org

Normal zits are already unpleasant enough, but cystic acne is a much more painful and potentially scarring experience for your skin (and your self esteem!). There is no “easy” remedy for getting rid of acne cysts, but there are certainly some treatment options that can help speed the process, as well as some things that you should be sure NOT to do. This advice is meant for acne sufferers with a mild to average number of cysts. If you have severe cystic acne that covers your face and body, you should really seek the advice of a dermatologist immediately, as an affliction such as this can leave your skin scarred for life.

Understanding cystic acne:

Unlike the small whitehead pustules that most people with acne experience on the surface of their skin, cystic acne appears as large irritated bumps, often with the pustule hidden deep beneath the skin’s surface. These cysts are caused when hormonal shifts result in your skin glands overproducing oil (sebum) at an unnatural rate. The gland becomes swollen and eventually bursts, but not before the sebum has swelled and hardened into a clump too large to escape by means of your pores. The irritation from your gland bursting results in inflammation, and buried pustule can remain in your skin for a very long time.

What to do:

The first thing to keep in mind is what you should not do. Never try to force a deep cyst to the surface of your skin prematurely. Trying to force cysts to burst is one of the major causes of acne scars, and will often leave your face looking much worse than it did before.

There are some things that you can still do to help. Strong acne creams with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide will help speed the healing process by killing the bacteria that forms in the cyst. Anti-inflammatory treatments such as Neosporin can also help by taking some of the red out of the inflamed region. After this, it simply takes patience and the discipline not to pick at your skin. Your cysts will eventually be broken down by the body, and this usually takes less time than healing from the inflammation caused by forcing them out.

Prevention:

Cystic acne happens below the surface of your skin and has very little to do with personal hygene. Creams and cleansers will not help much at all in preventing it. You need to target your oil glands in order to counter those hormonal shifts. Start with a daily multivitamin to make sure you’re getting the minimum of essential nutrients that your body needs to metabolize oil, and then consider other supplements.

Zinc is an important mineral in regulating the activity of your oil glands, as well as being a powerful antioxidant. Taking an extra 30-50 mg per day of Zinc has helped many acne sufferers. Vitamin B5 is also a key ingredient in fighting excess oil. B5 is necessary in order to produce Coenzyme-A, which in turn is needed for the metabolism of skin oil. Supplementing with 5-10 grams of vitamin B5 (less if time-released) has helped many acne sufferers get their skin under control by enhancing oil metabolism. Since cystic acne is caused by excessive oil production, this may be exactly what you need.

If nothing else works for you, see a dermatologist, as you may need a prescription treatment such as Accutane (a vitamin A derivative that directly lowers your production of skin oil). However, this should only be a last resort, as the side-effects from prescription acne treatments can sometimes be more serious than the acne.

What is acne?
Acne is a chronic and inflammatory disease that involves the skin sites where the hair originates; hair follicles, and the sebaceous glands. Acne may be a life-long process, and usually starts before puberty, or at the onset of puberty. However, it can begin in adulthood or even in elderly people. The areas that are typically affected are the face, neck, upper chest, back and the shoulders.

Acne affects both males and females. At the age of 18, acne is more frequent in men than women. Beyond the age of 23 it is more common in women. The severe inflammatory form of acne is more often in men at any age. Scars rarely occur in females, except when the lesions are manipulated by the patient.

What causes acne?
The increased production of the hormone androgen in puberty triggers a higher production of sebum by the sebaceous glands in the skin. The sebum is a natural subtract for bacterial growth, and allows the bacteria to increase dramatically in numbers, especially Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes). The sebum is transformed by P. acnes in both free fatty acids, and other chemicals that produce the inflammation process.

The combination of increased androgen and pro-inflammatory chemicals causes a higher cohesion of the epidermal cells in the pore areas. This action forms what are commonly known as pimples - the characteristic lesions of acne.

There are closed and open pimples: a closed pimple is a closed pore with a tiny plug. An open pimple, also known as a blackhead, is also a closed pore with a larger follicular plug. Blackheads are not dirty. The dark colour is due to increased skin pigment and the sebum contacting the oxygen present in the air.

The plugged pore can become swollen and inflamed, resulting in a pimple of minor or major proportions. The leakage of the follicles, in the surrounding skin, produces more inflammation, and creates other lesions of acne, such as cysts, pustules, and abscesses.

The hypersensitivity to the inflammatory process caused by P. acnes, is greatest in individuals with genetic predisposition. In other words, the problem is very much one of genetic heritage. The same combination of genes that made you the person that you are: height, hair colour, etc., also made your skin the type that it is.

In early adulthood the androgen levels decline slowly. This fact may contribute to the resolution of acne in the adulthood period. Some updated studies show a deficiency in the vitamin Pantothenic Acid as the basic cause of acne.

Symptoms?
There may be minor pain, itching, or mild soreness, and very rarely, fever with inflammation and pain in the joints.

Diagnostic tests
Hormone tests can be carried out, and also a skin biopsy which is used to differentiate acne from other possible diseases.

Does acne have complications?
It can have if it goes untreated. The most important complications are Cyst formation: a big, hard and deep closed pimple which can lead to scarring, and the effect it can have on Psycho-social development.

What about acne treatment ?

- Early treatment can prevent complications. The acne treatment depends on the type of lesions and the severity of the acne. No two patients have identical acne.
- The correct treatment can prevent permanent scars.
- Most acne treatments takes 6 to 8 weeks to show significant benefits.
- Diet: acne does not occur as a result of food. However, if there is a particular food that seems to aggravate your acne, it makes sense to avoid it.
- In most of the females affected, acne tends to be worse during the pre-menstrual cycle.
- Long periods of exposure to the sun can aggravate acne.
- Do not abandon the treatment before the doctor indicates it is safe to do so.
- Acne is not related to hygiene. Wash gently twice a day with mild soap and water. Do not rub, scrub, or wash more often than necessary.
- It is recommended to avoid exposure to oils and greases.

Topical treatment:
In both sexes, acne in the adults respond very well to treatment. Topical treatment can include topical antibiotics, topical retinoids such as tretinoin and iso-tretinoin; benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, sulphur, and salicylic acid.

Systemic treatment:
Most of the time the systemic treatment, or oral therapy, is reserved for cases of moderate to severe inflammatory acne. In these cases, a combination of topical and oral treatments are indicated. Oral treatment may include isotretinoin and/or antibiotics such as tetracycline, erythromycin, clindamycin, sulphas, etc. Hormonal therapy, such as oral contraceptives, corticoids etc. may also be useful in adult females with hormonal abnormalities, or acne that does not respond well to conventional treatment.

What about over-the-counter acne treatments?
These type of treatments are for topical use. Most of them contain a low-concentration of benzoyl peroxide. Other such treatments often contain mild drying or keratolytic agents to remove the deposit of dead cells on the skin. These agents can be helpful for mild acne. They are both inexpensive and easily accessible, and they come in creams, gels, lotions or soaps. All of them may cause some skin irritation during the treatment phase.

Can acne scars be treated?
Yes. However, it requires hands-on clinical training. Most people do not develop scars from their acne. Discoloration almost always disappears with time and avoiding sun exposure. Your dermatologist will select the best treatment for your acne scarring.

What about Psycho-social impacts?
People with psycho-social problems due to acne may need to be treated by a psychologist or, in some cases, by a psychiatrist. Some of the psycho-social impacts are:

. Decreased self-esteem/self-confidence
. Problems with body image
. Embarrassment leading to social withdrawal
. Depression and anxiety
. Anger
. Preoccupation with the acne
. Confusion/frustration with treatment
. Limitations in lifestyle
. Difficulties with family members

Conclusion
Acne is an important disorder to treat, and it should not be dismissed as something trivial or purely cosmetic. There are medical steps that can be taken to alleviate symptoms.

Remember growing up during those up and down teenage years fighting acne and hormone irregularities? Or maybe you are just now experiencing this turmoil. Whether then or now we all agree that acne in particular can have a major effect on our life.

Who wants to go out with a face full of swollen pimples?

It’s safer and easier to hide away in our bedroom and hope for miracles.

The sad thing is the majority of people whether teenagers or adults suffer from acne at some time in their life.Some just have a short time of very large pimples and by using many of the advertised products on the market are able to clear them up sufficiently and move on to a great social life without embarrassment.

Others suffer on alone not realizing that they need extra help other than the usual acne cream that they purchase from the pharmacist.

Most do not realize that they can go to their doctor or dermatologist and get real help in the form of medication and creams.Some of these treatments may have to be for a decent amount of time before your skin becomes unblemished.As these medications have to dry up the oil in your skin that brings the acne to the surface.

If you are a sufferer or know somebody that is suffering from this condition then please do not hide yourself away and waste money on well marketed creams that do not work on major acne conditions and seek professional help.

Also look directly to the web for information on different remedies and talk to other people about what worked for them.Believe it or not but there are chat rooms dedicated to this condition where you can share your thoughts on living with acne and how to eliminate it.

Remember there is no reason to allow acne to ruin your life as there is help out there for you to regain not only your clear and healthy skin but to also regain that great social life that you deserve.
