Acne

For others, having acne is a very big issue and for others, it may not. People are different from each other anyway. For a lot of teens, this is one of their worst nightmares. Teenage life is when acne attacks are in a full force, and when found unguarded, then you’re in. Good news for ladies is that our gentlemen are the ones who are much prone to acne. Men have more hormonal changes than women that make their skin oilier.

But whether you’re a lady or a gentleman, a teenager or an adult, mother or single, having acne is always possible. Acne is often called as severe pimples or pimple outbreak. That’s true. When you have severe pimples that could almost consume you whole face, down to your neck, back, and shoulders, then that is what we call acne. Acne is a collection of painful red lumps. But have you ever heard people say that when you eat peanuts and oily foods, you will have pimples and if done everyday, it will cause you acne. It is somehow true. But greasy foods are not the only factors that help your acne show. Ladies, did you ever wonder why pimples and acnes appear when you have your menstruation? This is because when you welcome your puberty, hormonal changes take place. Same goes with men. Acne runs in the family. It can be inherited. For example, when your father or mother had acne when they were teenagers, then you and your siblings will most likely develop acne too. But then, we can’t only blame the genes that made us whole, there are still lots of factors that back up acne attacks. Your parents and the whole clan may not have acne, but then you developed some. This is due to pollution. Dirt easily affects skin when they are oily. It can clog the pores and infect it and then result to a single pimple that may become severe if not taken cared of immediately. Ladies love to color their face. But cosmetics can also promote acne. So when you use cosmetics, wash your face when you get home.

The attack of acne is unpredictable. Those people who were not able to have a battle with acne when they were teens may possibly have acnes when they grow older. When you have one, don’t panic. Just always remember to never pick your pimples. That would only worsen the situation. Always keep your hands clean when touching your face. And when you’re out with friends, don’t forget to wash your face when you reach home. The best you can do is ask for skin care experts’ help. There are no hopeless situations when you have acnes, only hopeless patients. Just keep in mind that help is always around.
