Fundamental-reasons-of-Acne

By: Ben Norman

Acne is one of the most common skin problems affecting people worldwide and a general misconception is that acne affects only teenagers, but many are surprised to learn that adults also suffer from this same inconvenience. In fact nearly 90 percent of people suffer from acne sometime in their lifetime and whilst acne is dreaded, it usually shows up during our teenage years and fortunately, many people outgrow it.

Generally, acne is the result of excess oil or sebum in the hair follicles but this is not the only cause nor does it mean that over production of oil equals acne either. Acne is the result of the sebum in the pores and not the skin itself although the condition does seem to be a modern problem and not something we have always had to live with.

Although it is possible that clogged pores that cause acne might be due to the hormone changes every teenager faces or even from cosmetic products that have not been removed fully from the skin. Even out diet can play a part in the cause of acne as much of our diet today is made up of unhealthy processed foods.

More persistent cases of acne will probably need stronger medication which can be prescribed by a dermatologist. When medication is prescribed, normally the doctor involved will want to see the patient to ensure the acne is clearing according to plan and decide whether to use more extreme methods. During this time in particular it is important to ensure that fingernails are cleaned thoroughly and regularly as they harbor dirt, germs and bacteria that can aggravate the condition.

This means that fingernails need to be kept clean and not dismissed because they look clean as almost all bacteria and germs are invisible to the naked human eye. This is why an acne sufferer should avoid any direct contact between their hand and the blemished area.

Unfortunately, acne does seem to have a hereditary link so if you mother and father had acne ten you will also probably suffer as well, bearing in mind that the number of individuals with perfect skin in the world is very low. In the vast majority of acne cases though, it is caused by the transition from a child to an adult and the changes that take place during this period.

If necessary, acne sufferers should consult a dermatologist or qualified physician for acne treatment. Please be aware that the information here is provides as a guide only and does not try to replace the professional guidance supplied by a professional about the condition and treatment of acne.
