SURVIVING PIMPLES
It's not your fault!
Eating greasy fries, sweating, having a dirty face, or stressing about the next week's exam do not cause acne. Acne is caused when glands in the skin produces excess oil, as they tend to do when hormone levels rise during puberty mainly androgens. The excess oil combines with the dead skin cells and clogs your pores, allowing bacteria to grow. The oil & bacteria form a "plug" and push through the skin to cause pimples. Somtimes, a tendency to develop acne can be familial!
There are a lot of myths out there! You may have heared that drinking lots of water will help.It won't! though drinking a lot of water is good for your health, it doesn't prevent or treat acne. You also can't scrub away acne. Scrubbing can aggravate pimples and slow healing. Wash gently with a mild cleanser no more than twice daily. Sun- tanning may temporarily dry out oily skin and camouflage pimples, but acne usually flares up again as the skin begins to shed dry and dead cells caused by sun exposure.
Do you start your day counting your pimples?
You are not alone. 20 million American teenagers have acne!. But it is by no means a "teen" condition. It's estimated that 20% of adults in their twenties through fourties [ particularly women ] suffer from acne.

THE DIGNOSIS & MANAGEMENT OF ACNE
Acne affects up to 50 million individuals in the United States, including 85% between the ages of 12 and 25 years. The cost of acne exceeds 100 million dollars each year, just for non prescription medications. However the emotional cost is perhaps greater,especially for teenagers, who are going through a very important period of psychosocial development. The severity of a patient's concern is not necessarily proportional to the severity of acne. Mild embarrassment to significient self-esteem impairment more so with inflammatory nodulocystic acne.
