Acne Causes and Treatment

Sunday, 30 August 2009

Acne is one of the most common skin problems affecting people worldwide. A big misconception is that acne affects only teenagers
but many are surprised to learn that adults also suffer from this same inconvenience. Among the many causes are clogged pores resulting from makeup
everyday air particles and often a simple case of hormonal changes. While acne is a part of life for many individuals
it can be effectively treated.

One of the best natural remedies for acne is to wash your face at least twice on a daily basis. Early in the morning and late at night are both good times to cleanse the face. A moisturizing soap will be the most gentle for your skin whereas others with a harsh ingredient may strip the skin of it’s natural moisture and may even cause itching and/or redness.

Many people choose to use retail acne treatment products
which can be effective if used properly. It is very important
however
that consumers read and understand the instructions and/or warning labels found in the packaging. All acne treatment creams
pads or face wash products should be kept away from the eyes and are for external use only. This is not only true of retail products
but prescribed medications as well.

For a recurring or severe case of acne
many sufferers turn to a dermatologist for a more aggressive treatment. In most cases
a prescribed routine and medication can help to treat acne. In most cases
a follow-up visit will be scheduled so that the doctor may monitor the patient’s progress and determine whether additional steps should be taken to treat the problem.

It is very important to avoid aggravating
or disrupting
any and all acne blemishes. Otherwise
the sufferer will face a possible bacterial infection from dirt and/or germs that may reside underneath the fingernail. Many believe that just because their fingernails appear clean
there is nothing to worry about. That’s simply not true. There are many germs and bacteria
which are not visible to the naked eye
that reside underneath the fingernail. This is why an acne sufferer should avoid any direct contact between their hand and the blemish area(s).
