You Can Find an Acne Cure

Finding a permanent and effective acne cure may seem like an impossible task for many,
especially those that have been battling this disease and condition for many years. Some
have tried treatment after treatment with no luck. However, there have been many
advances made in the past few years especially when it comes to an acne cure, since
many dermatologists are realizing how important such a cure is for their patients. Acne is
not just some minor inconvenience that one experiences just during the turbulent teen
years, but can be a condition that erodes a person's entire self-esteem and identity,
interfering with virtually every aspect of their life. Because of this, dermatologists have
worked very hard to come up with an effective and reasonable acne cure.
There are many topical treatments that work as an acne cure, including those that contain
benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. Both work as a cleanser for the bacteria that cause
pimples and work as a drying agent as well. They can slightly peel the skin over the
pimples and areas where you have breakouts so that future breakouts are lessened. When
using these medications as part of an acne cure, it's important to use them just as they're
prescribed or instructed; overuse or misuse can mean harming the skin around it. These
medications are strong enough to clear up bacteria and to dry up excess oil but can also
be too strong to use on healthy skin that isn't the spot of a breakout.
A good cleaning regimen is always going to be part of an acne cure but as with
medication, it's important not to overdo this either. Some are in the habit of scrubbing
their face until it's almost raw, and this is not only ineffective as an acne cure but also can
irritate your skin so that it actually breaks out even more. It's also important to use the
proper products when cleaning. Bath soap and even ones that are made for acne sufferers

can be harmful as well. These usually have a high concentration of medication and rather
than working as an acne cure, they only serve to dry up the skin too much and leave it
red, peeling, itchy, flaky, and so on.
It's much better for anyone with acne to use a very mild cleanser, preferably one made for
sensitive skin. Usually a good cleaning at night is all that's needed as an acne cure, with
just a rinse of the face in the morning. It's also important to use the acne medications you
have and then to moisturize as well, since they reduce so much moisture on the skin. It
does not good to use some heavy and harsh products as an acne cure if your skin is left
dry, flaky, peeling, and so on. A light, water-based moisturizer should be used for both
men and women.
Talk to a dermatologist if you need additional assistance toward an acne cure as he or she
can help tremendously.

You Can Be Acne Free!

Many people who suffer from chronic and consistent outbreaks, whether on their face or
anyplace else on their body, wonder if they can ever be acne free. After all, many have
been plagued with this problem since the time they were teenagers and still have
breakouts even though they are now well past adolescence. Acne to them has become a
constant companion and a daily site every time they look in the mirror. But in truth, no
matter how long you've had your breakouts or how bad they are, it is possible to be acne
free once and for all.

The real key to becoming acne free is to understand what is really causing acne, and it's
not what people typically think. While it's true that pimples are made up of dirt, oil and
bacteria, everyone has these things on their face and not everyone has acne. Getting rid
of this dirt and other elements is only part of trying to be acne free. The problem with
those who have acne is that when the dirt and oil gets caught in hair follicles and open
pores, a thin layer or skin forms over it so that it grows into a pimple. Most people don't
have this layer of skin that forms, so the dirt and oil gets rinsed away in the shower rather
than growing into a pimple, so then they are acne free. It's this layer over the opening
where dirt is trapped that makes them break out, not just the dirt itself.
Some people then assume that to be acne free they should just scrub their face so as to
break open that layer of skin over those pores, but this doesn't help either. You can't just
break open this skin to let the dirt and elements out without causing injury to it. Doing
this is just like breaking open your skin on any other area of the body - it's going to cause
scarring and be very bad for it. You might drain these particular pimples but this doesn't
lead to you being acne free permanently, as more pimples will just form.
Usually topical solutions that dry the oils and clean the dirt out of your pores is the best
thing you can use to be acne free. These solutions treat the elements inside the pimples
and help them to heal without injuring the skin. Even so, these solutions should be gentle
on the skin rather than harsh. Overdoing it with product and the ingredients in those
products is going to irritate your skin even further. Remember, you need to treat your
skin gently and kindly rather than thinking you should "punish" it for having breakouts.
Sometimes pimples happen because the skin is irritated and overcompensates by
producing more oil than before, causing more breakouts. To be acne free it's important to
care for your skin overall, including a good regimen of gentle cleaning, moisturizing, and
by getting proper nourishment through your diet and things you eat.

Using Acne Medications to Curb Breakouts

Acne is a very difficult condition to live with and very difficult for most people to cope
with, but no one needs to suffer with it permanently. There are many products and
treatment options available today, including quite a few acne medications available both
from your doctor or dermatologist and at your local pharmacy. You may already be
aware of the many options for acne medications already, as many products are advertised
on television and elsewhere. While many of these commercials and advertisements are
typically geared toward teenagers, many with adult acne have found that they can help
them as well.
There are two very common ingredients in acne medications; one is benzoyl peroxide and
the other is salicylic acid. Obviously just the names alone should give one a clue as to
how potent they can be; any type of peroxide or acid applied to the face is going to do
something. These ingredients are available in very low potencies in most acne
medications and so they are usually very safe to use, if the instructions are followed
carefully. Benzoyl peroxide kills the bacteria in pimples and works as a cleansing agent.
It also seems to work as a drying agent and peels away the skin slightly. This seems to
help keep new breakouts from happening. Salicylic acid is a common ingredient in acne
medications and works by now allowing skin cells to clog up into enlarged pores or hair
follicles; if they are not clogged there will be no breakouts.
Other ingredients in common acne medications can actually be so strong that they
damage the skin, even the areas where acne develops. For example, sulfur can still be
found in some products includes washes and soaps. Sulfur is very harsh on the skin and
typically causes redness, dryness, peeling, and even cracking. Some believe that it's so
harsh that it may even cause more breakouts because the skin gets so irritated it
overcompensates by producing more oil than before. This is true of many acne

medications, especially if they're overused. This is one danger of people using over-thecounter acne medications without giving much thought as to the instructions or warnings
on the label.
Doctors and dermatologists can also prescribe various acne medications and these work
very well against even the most severe or chronic cases and breakouts. Many doctors
prescribe not just topical solutions but an entire skincare regimen; cleansing the skin and
moisturizing it is always a part of acne treatment. If your skin is not cleaned properly this
provides pimples a virtual breeding ground of bacteria and dirt. If it's not moisturized as
well then these acne medications can cause dryness, peeling, and other such problems.
As with over-the-counter medications it's very important to follow the instructions
carefully and to not overuse or abuse the medications even if you have severe breakouts.
Your doctor or dermatologist can provide the most detailed instructions, but those
instructions do no good if the patient doesn't follow them.

Beware of Overusing Those Acne Products

Browse the aisles of any pharmacy or drug store and you'll find shelf after shelf of
various acne products, all promising to not just cure your breakouts but to give you clear
and beautiful skin. Since they all promise the same thing, how can you make a decision
as to which of these acne products actually work, and how can you be sure you're using
them properly for best results?
It's best to really understand just how serious and potent many of these medications

actually are because almost all of them contain ingredients that are very strong on the
skin; this means that they can actually address your acne, but they can also do damage
when overused or used improperly. Most acne products contain benzoyl peroxide; just
the fact that it has the word "peroxide" in its name should clue you in as to how strong it
is. Peroxide is good for drying up the oil that is caught inside a pore or hair follicle that
becomes acne, but like other acne products, too much of it on the skin is going to damage
the healthy skin cells. Think of when you apply peroxide to a cut or open sore; it does
the job on the open wound but using too much on your uncut skin means that it gets dry,
red, and irritated. This is true of the skin on your face; using too much of any of these
acne products that contain benzoyl peroxide on your face can mean irritated and even
damaged skin.
Astringents are common acne products and these usually contain alcohol which dries up
the excess oil on the face. But keep in mind that the skin needs oil for its own health. If
your face did not have oil it would become scaly and leathery. The body's slowdown of
oil production is one reason that people get wrinkles as they get older. But when you
overuse acne products that contain alcohol the good oil that is necessary and healthy for
your skin can also make it red, irritated, scaly, dry, and itchy. It can also cause the body
to overcompensate by sending the oil glands into overdrive, producing even more oil than
before.
When it comes to making a decision about acne products you need to be very cautious.
Most do treat the problems that cause acne but many can be very harsh as well. It's
usually a good idea to start with something that has a very small percentage or
concentration of any of these ingredients and try that for a good month or two. It's also
good to avoid using more than one of these acne products together. Too many products
can result in the skin becoming overly dry.
And when shopping for acne products, be sure you get some good moisturizer as well;
yes, men, this means you too! All that good oil and moisture that your skin needs to be
healthy should be replaced when using these harsh acne products.

Some Options Today for Acne Scar Treatment

Acne scars can be very traumatizing to those who suffer from them. Most who have
severe scars think that the only thing people see when they look at them are those scars,
and their self-esteem can suffer greatly. But thankfully there are many options today for
acne scar treatment, many of which are not only effective but affordable and relatively
painless. Most acne scar treatment options are done in the dermatologist's office on an
outpatient basis and result in only a day or two of discomfort; the majority of patients that
opt for these are able to go back to work the next day.
Microdermabrasion as an Acne Scar Treatment
Some years ago dermatologists used to use what was called dermabrasion as an acne scar
treatment, where a small tool had a wire brush at the end of it that spun around incredibly
fast; this wire brush was run across the face to scrape off the top layer of skin to reveal
healthier skin underneath. If this sounds painful, it is. Many who tried it got some results
but felt pain and discomfort for weeks afterward. Dermatologists worked to improve this
procedure and now use what is called microdermabrasion, which is a brushing of very
tiny crystals across the face to scrape off some of that upper layer of skin. The micro
crystals are much less painful than the wire brush and yield good results with only minor
discomfort for a day or two. Most who try this as an acne scar treatment are pleased with
the results and can have the procedure repeated after a few months for even better results.
Light and Laser as Acne Scar Treatment
Is there nothing they can't do with lights and lasers today? Very controlled lasers can
work as an acne scar treatment the same way that those micro crystals do. They take off

a very thin outer layer of skin so that new skin underneath is exposed. This means those
scars get taken off as well. Certain lights on the skin can help it to heal, plumping up the
collagen underneath and forcing it to heal itself more readily.
Collagen Injections as Acne Scar Treatment
If you have acne scars you can tell that they look a lot like deep inroads in the skin.
These scars are from when the skin over a pimple broken and did not heal properly;
usually broken skin is able to form a barrier or bridge between the two broken pieces but
when it doesn't, a scar appears. Collagen injections can work as an acne scar treatment
because they force that skin to plump back up and lessen the red of the scar as well. They
are not permanent solutions and often need to be repeated once or twice per week, but
most who try them report being very happy with the results and of course they are the
least painful of all the options.


If you're interested in any of these acne scar treatments, make an appointment with your
dermatologist today!

You Can Treat Your Acne Scars

There are few things in this world that are as embarrassing or that make one as selfconscious as acne scars. Many who are afflicted with them think that they are just about
all that anyone sees or notices, and they may allow them to interfere with their confidence
on the job, in personal relationships, and at all other times as well. They often think that

people are actually judging them because of their acne scars, and unfortunately in some
extreme cases this can actually be true. It's of course not appropriate and very unfair, but
it's still a very ugly fact of life.
Some who have had acne scars for many years may feel that they are going to be a
permanent fixture on their face, back, and wherever else they are, and perhaps have even
resigned themselves to this thinking. They may have tried different treatment options,
topical ointments, and even very expensive makeup brands to fix or hide their unsightly
acne scars, and to no avail.
But there's no reason to think that these blemishes are a permanent fixture and that you
need to learn to live with them forever. There are more and more treatment options for
acne scars than there ever were, and many are relatively gentle, affordable, and can be
done right in the dermatologist's office on an outpatient basis.
For example, many years ago dermabrasion was just about the only option for acne scars.
This is when a wire brush that is spinning at a high speed is brushed across the face to
remove the outermost layer of skin, including scars. Many who underwent this procedure
were in pain and discomfort for a full week or two after. Today dermatologists offer what
is called microdermabrasion, which is the brushing of tiny crystals across the face instead
of that wire brush. The crystals and skin cells are then gently washed away, revealing
healthier skin with less scarring. Those who have undergone this treatment for acne scars
report much less discomfort that lasts for quite a bit less time, usually just a day or two.
There are also many light and laser treatments available for acne scars. Pulsated light or
lasers can also remove a small layer of skin and stimulate collagen growth underneath; as
the new collagen fills out it pushes the skin of the scar out, making the acne scars smaller
and less visible.
Depending on the depth and extent of the acne scars a person may not be able to get rid
of them completely, but most who undergo any of these newer treatment options report
being very happy with the procedure. Their skin appears healthier and smoother. Some
procedures can even be repeated after several months, giving them even better results as
time goes on.

So if you're plagued with acne scars but have assumed that they're just too deep or too
serious to be corrected, set that thinking aside and make an appointment with a
dermatologist today; you'll probably be glad you did!

Some Simple Acne Solutions

It might seem like an oxymoron to some who really don't believe that there's anything
simple about possible or potential acne solutions. They may have had some experience in
trying to treat their acne and have found that potential solutions have been anything but
simple, and have involved complicated cleaning regimens, dozens of different products,
and so on. But in truth, acne solutions typically boil down to a few simple steps and yes,
possibly a few simple products.
Many who try acne solutions make the mistake of going overboard in their treatment,
using harsh soaps and cleansers in the treatment of their skin. As with any other physical
condition, using too much medication or too many products is not going to do any good
and may actually make things worse. Your skin is a living organ that needs proper
treatment, not punishment. A very gentle and mild cleanser, one for sensitive skin, is
usually best when it comes to acne solutions. While there are many soaps that are
advertised as being for acne sufferers, these are usually far too harsh to use every single
day.
There are many things you can do at home by way of acne solutions. For example, acne

is caused by dirt, oil and bacteria getting trapped in enlarged pores and hair follicles and a
small layer or skin not breaking over them so that these can get washed or rinsed away.
Using a warm mist vaporizer or humidifier has seemed to help some; of course you can
burn your skin if you hold your face too close or if the steam is too warm, but as acne
solutions go, this one does seem to do some good. Many use them before cleaning their
face so that the pores are open and more able to be cleaned out.
Homemade facial masks also help to clean out the pores and clear away acne. Some have
reported that these types of acne solutions are even more effective than ones they get
from the dermatologist. Honey, oatmeal, avocado, lemon, cucumber, eggs, and yogurt
are all common ingredients in these homemade facial masks. You may not think of these
food products - most of which are in your refrigerator right now - as being effective acne
solutions but most contain natural cleansing agents, vitamins, and moisturizers that help
to heal the skin and nourish it as well.
Many who engage in a simple regimen of gently washing their face with a mild cleanser,
exfoliating once per week, and moisturizing every night find that this can be one of the
best acne solutions there is. Applying a homemade facial once per week or every other
week contributes to the skin's health overall as well and can help to keep it clear of
bacteria and harmful elements. Of course, for very stubborn breakouts and for a chronic
condition, a dermatologist can offer even more effective acne solutions, from topical
solutions to oral antibiotics that help to keep bacteria off the face as well.

Some Simple Acne Tips

Believe it or not, treating and addressing acne doesn't need to be as difficult as some
people make it out to be. While there are of course many people that have severe cases
that are very difficult to treat on their own and should be addressed by a dermatologist,
sometimes some simple acne tips can help other cases tremendously. These acne tips
don't need to be lengthy or complicated in nature, and you don't need to be a
dermatologist yourself to better understand how to take care of your skin, but usually the
key is consistency - keeping up with a good regimen on a regular basis is most important.
Acne Tips for Everyday Cleaning
Cleaning too vigorously or using products that are harsh is not going to do any good for
your acne or your skin's appearance overall. Many soaps and foaming cleaners are
medicated and advertised specifically for those who have acne, but it's a common mistake
for users to apply these too often to their face and to scrub vigorously when they do.
Anyone with good acne tips will tell you that this will just irritate your skin and cause
dryness, redness, flaking, and other irritation. This irritation can actually lead to more
acne since the skin might overcompensate by producing more oil than before.
Using a mild cleanser meant for sensitive skin can be one of the best acne tips you'll ever
get. A mild cleanser is enough to get rid of the dirt, oil and bacteria that build up to form
pimples. Anything else can be just too much product and too harsh for the skin.
Acne Tips for Skin's Appearance
Getting rid of those pimples is all well and good but sometimes applying all the acne tips
you get means that your skin is left dry and flaky. It's always recommended that you use
an exfoliating agent once per week, but no more than that. Like acne treatments these too
can leave your skin too dry and irritated. You also want to use a good moisturizer; many
people skip this step, thinking their face is oily enough as it is. But it's important to take
care of the rest of your skin and to give it the moisture it needs to stay soft and supple.
General Acne Tips
It's very important to take care of your skin by having a good diet and getting regular
physical exercise. No acne tips in the world will make up for a poor diet; the skin needs
nourishment from the inside as well as the outside. Physical activity means you're

delivering more healthy blood and oxygen to your skin's surface every single day. This
increased blood circulation also means that dead skin cells and other harmful elements
are being whisked away more often as well. People who eat right and exercise regularly


usually have very health-looking skin, so apply these simple acne tips but stay active and
eat right as well for the best results possible.

Choosing the Right Acne Treatment for You

The options for acne treatment have come a long way in the last few years. It used to be
that if someone was plagued with chronic and consistent acne then their only options
were harsh topical ointments or prescriptions. Very often these forms of acne treatment
were either ineffective for severe cases or damaged the areas of one's skin that didn't have
acne. Some even caused rashes and allergic reactions that seemed to be worse than the
acne itself!
But today there are many forms of acne treatment that are much more effective and much
less harsh to one's skin. They include topical ointments that you can get at the pharmacy
or from a dermatologist, and entire skin care regimens that you can use to not just address
your breakouts but to have healthier skin overall.
The first thing you need to think about when it comes to acne treatment is just how bad
your acne is. If you only have a mild form with occasional breakouts then there is no

reason to go overboard and use the most severe medications and ointments out there, just
because you don't want the few breakouts you get. For not just acne but the overall
health of your skin, it's usually better to opt for the lightest and least harsh acne treatment
there is; if you don't have good results, you can then increase the percentage of
medication slowly.
It's also important when considering your acne treatment that you address your acne but
also are mindful of your skin's health and condition overall. Many who have acne
neglect moisturizing their skin, thinking that the buildup of oil is what is causing their
acne so any added moisture is just going to be bad for them. In reality, it's important
when using any form of an acne treatment that you moisturize all areas of your skin. If
you strip your skin of natural moisturizers and oil, the skin typically reacts by producing
even more oil than before, making the problem worse. This is one of the reasons that
typical acne treatment regimens leave the skin dry and flaky on top of addressing the
acne itself. This of course can be very frustrating to the acne sufferer.
For very stubborn, severe, and chronic cases of acne it may be best to talk to a
dermatologist for their recommendation as to what form of acne treatment is best for you.
Very severe cases may not respond well to remedies you get from the pharmacy or over
the counter. If left untreated, acne can get worse and worse and leave very unsightly
scars on the skin, scars that can be treated but not very easily. It's usually best to get
ahead of your condition with the right acne treatment, and a dermatologist that specializes
in acne can do a tremendous amount of good when it comes to your condition. You don't
need to be plagued with acne for the rest of your life, so talk to your doctor today.

acne vulgaris

What is Acne Vulgaris and How is it Different Than Regular Acne?
Have you ever heard the term "acne vulgaris"? It sounds like a very nasty condition and
one that perhaps afflicts the private areas of the body, but it's good to have a correct and
scientific understanding of what this term means so that you can understand if you have
this condition, if it's different than typical acne, and how to treat it properly. Let's first
look at the definition of the term acne vulgaris.
The term vulgaris simply means something that is common or ordinary. The word vulgar
comes from this, meaning something that is so common or ordinary that it is thought of
as being low-class. Someone that says something vulgar is saying something that is not
appropriate in polite company. We may not think of the term "common" as being
something that should be looked down upon, but remember that word meanings usually
go back decades if not even hundreds of years when people behaved differently and had
different expectations than they do today. An off-color joke was thought to be something
that only "common" people understood and not something shared among those that were
of the upper classes, so it was "vulgar." But getting back to acne vulgaris, the point is
that the term vulgaris simply refers to common or everyday acne. As a matter of fact,
most doctors don't even use the term acne vulgaris and simply refer to acne on its own.
It's important to remember though that there are different forms of acne, and acne
vulgaris is different from cystic acne. Cystic acne has pimples that contain bacteria that
go very deep under the skin and is usually the most severe form of acne, often leaving
very deep scars even while a person still has breakouts. Most people that have cystic
acne need to see a doctor to get a prescription for antibiotics so that they can address the
bacteria that goes so deep that topical ointments don't fix it. With acne vulgaris or
everyday acne, it's usually possible to address it with topical solutions and a good
skincare regimen.
This doesn't mean that acne vulgaris or any form of acne is something to be dismissed.
Even common everyday breakouts can be very difficult for those who suffer from them,
and not all respond to treatment the way they should. Very stubborn or chronic breakouts

may also need a prescription for antibiotics if they don't respond to topical medications
such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, common ingredients in most acne treatment
options. When confronted with acne vulgaris that doesn't go away or respond to topical
ointments doctors can also recommend procedures such as microdermabrasion, light
therapy, laser therapy, and things such as these. Many dermatologists even specialize in
acne treatment and can do a world of good for any sufferer or patient. So whether it's
acne vulgaris you have or cystic acne or if you're not even sure, see your doctor and get
some treatment for it.

Learning Some Truths About Acne

It's probably no secret to anyone that acne is a very difficult condition to live with. Many
who have it are incredibly self-conscious about it, thinking that it's all that anyone ever
sees when they meet them or that they're being judged when it comes to their career, their
personal relationships, and even in their own family. While it may be true that most who
have acne are much more aware of it than those around them, it is something that can and
should be treated. When a person ignores it, it can sometimes clear up on its own but it
can also get even worse and eventually leave unsightly scars.
But what is also interesting about acne is that many people, even those who have this
condition, have a lot of very inaccurate ideas about what causes it and how to treat it.
What's especially unfortunate about this is that very often these misconceptions lead to
people doing things that actually make their condition worse, not better!

As an example, many people think that acne is just caused by too much dirt and bacteria
on the face. Since they think that cleaning is the key to acne treatment, they then wind up
cleaning and cleaning and cleaning their face several times per day. This not only doesn't
cure acne it can actually irritate your skin, leaving it raw, red, itchy, and blotchy. It can
actually even make the breakouts worse as the skin tries to heal itself against this harsh
treatment, causing it to close up over pores and hair follicles, leading to more outbreaks.
Some also think that an excess of oil is what causes acne; in truth, it's this oil being
caught in pores and hair follicles that actually cause an outbreak, not just the oil itself.
Everyone has oil on their face, and everyone needs that oil as well. Without oil the skin
would become dry and cracked and somewhat leathery; the body slowing down its
production of oil is one thing that contributes to skin becoming wrinkled as one gets
older. But those who think that acne is caused just by oily skin can use astringents and
other treatment options too much, and actually cause their skin to get overly dry. The
skin can also react by overcompensating for this treatment by producing even more oil
than before, causing more clogged pores and then more acne breakouts.
Of course, keeping your skin clean, your pores unclogged, and absorbing excessive
amounts of oil is part of addressing your acne, but when someone goes overboard in these
directions and is too rough with their skin, or doesn't realize the real reasons for acne
breakouts they're not going to have any good results. Not only will they not stem the
number of breakouts they have, they may actually be causing more. To really address
acne effectively, it's important to really understand what causes it and then you can better
understand how to treat it.

Treating Your Adult Acne

Even in this modern day and age, many people think that pimples belong to the young
and that acne is something that you just grow out of. The millions afflicted with constant
and chronic adult acne would of course disagree with that, knowing firsthand that hitting
a particular age doesn't guarantee that pimples will go away or that one will never again
face (no pun intended) this condition. If you're someone that is plagued with adult acne
to any severity, what can you do? Does having acne into your adulthood mean that you're
just cursed with it forever?
It's true that one's hormones and other adjustments that the body makes during the
teenaged years can contribute to acne breakouts, but the problems that cause breakouts
can happen to anyone regardless of age. Adult acne is actually much more common than
people think, because of the root cause of acne itself.
Dirt, oil and bacteria collect on everyone's face regardless of who you are and where you
live, and of your facial cleansing habits. For most, these elements get washed away in
the shower, even if you don't use cleansers. But for those with adult acne, these elements
get caught or trapped in hair follicles and pores and there is a covering of skin that forms
over it so that this collection of "gunk" builds up into what we call a pimple. This is very
important for anyone with pimples, whether during their teen years or whether it's adult
acne, to understand. It's not the dirt and oil itself that's a problem, but rather it's that
defect of the skin that forms over it that actually causes a pimple. If you think about it,
anyone can have that type of skin condition that leads to acne; this is not something that
is directly connected to the changes a body goes through during puberty or teen years.
It is true that there are probably more cases of teen acne than there are cases of adult
acne, no doubt due in part to the fact that a teenager's body is going through bursts of
hormones and the oil glands, along with every other part of the body, aren't always
functioning properly as the child grows into adulthood. They may have a lot more oil on
their face than grownups do, but this doesn't mean that teen acne is really any different in
cause than adult acne. As a matter of fact, those who eat a lot of fried and greasy foods

are sometimes more prone to adult acne, and some have found that things that regulate
their hormones, such as birth control pills, actually clear up their skin as well.
Rather than just accept your adult acne as part of your overall look and think that you're
somehow cursed, visit your dermatologist. He or she probably has quite a few options
for you that can treat your acne regardless of how long you've had it or how severe it is.

Is Back Acne Any Different Than Facial Acne?

Many people who are plagued with breakouts find that they have pimples not only on
their face, but they typically also have constant cases of back acne as well. Some people
also seem to have just one over the other; pimples and breakouts on their back and
shoulders with few on their face. What makes back acne different than facial acne, if at
all, and what can you do about it?
Acne is caused by a collection of dirt, oil and bacteria getting caught in an enlarged pore
or hair follicle; for most people this is rinsed away in the shower or even when you sweat.
Back acne is composed of this same material; it's not unusual for a person to have quite a
bit of dirt and bacteria along their back and shoulders as these areas collect sweat and
when this isn't rinsed or washed away, everything just sort of sits right where it is. But
the reason that these elements become back acne or acne on any other part of the body is
that a small film of skin forms over these little collections and doesn't allow them to be
washed away, and so they grow into what we call pimples.
The solution to this is not to force the skin to break the way some people do; even if that

were physically possible with back acne it would only damage the skin and leave
unsightly scars. It may provide a temporary relief for that acne right at the moment but of
course doesn't stop any more from reappearing. It's a much better idea to address the
back acne at the source than to just keep "popping" the pimples.
As with facial acne, back acne is caused by more than just the collection of dirt, oil and
bacteria; this defect of the skin in that it forms over these pores or follicles is what makes
them turn into pimples. The best way to address back acne is to treat it exactly the way
you would facial acne, that is, by using topical solutions that dissolve the dirt, oil and
bacteria at the source since they can't be washed away the same as any other collections
of dirt on your body.
It may be difficult to reach your back acne with topical solutions but usually a little bit on
a cotton swab is all that's needed. Of course you also need to keep your back and
shoulders very clean so that all that dirt and bacteria has less of a chance of building up.
For men and women, this means changing your undergarments regularly and keeping
them clean. Avoid wearing an undershirt or bra two days in a row without laundering
either. These may not exactly cause your back acne but it can create the perfect
environment for it to thrive and flourish. The less bacteria and dirt you have on your
back and shoulders, the less outbreaks of back acne you're bound to have.

Just What Are Blackheads?

There is no end to the number of skin problems that one can be afflicted with, from cysts

to moles, rashes, rosacea, whiteheads, and blackheads. Some of these problems are pretty
much harmless under normal circumstances; virtually everyone has a mole or two
somewhere on their body and cysts are usually just small, benign masses of cells that
grow internally or externally on the skin and usually go away on their own. But it's
surprising how many people have very little knowledge about all these elements that
appear on their skin, including blackheads.
First, consider what acne actually is. Dirt, oil and bacteria are present on anyone's and
everyone's face at all times. These small collections grow into small sacs that we call
pimples when the skin above it forms a barrier and doesn't allow it to wash or rinse away.
When these collections stay in pores and hair follicles without that skin covering, this is
what we call blackheads. This is different from what most people call regular pimples, or
whiteheads, in that whiteheads have a thin covering of skin so that they appear white or
flesh-colored. When you don't have that covering of skin and can easily see the
collection of dirt and bacteria that is what we call blackheads, since they appear black or
dark in nature.
There is really nothing special about blackheads versus whiteheads or other pimples;
they're all a collection of dirt, oil and bacteria. It seems as if just their appearance is
different, not their roots or causes.
So now that you know what blackheads are, how to treat them? Really, it's no different
than how you treat other forms of acne. Acne is caused not just because of the dirt and
oil that gets trapped; everyone has dirt and oil on their face. It's also not because
someone isn't cleaning their face properly or enough times. Most who have all forms of
acne, including blackheads, clean their face religiously and thoroughly. Usually the
problem is that a person has enlarged pores or hair follicles that allow these elements to
get trapped inside.
Usually a dermatologist can assist with very chronic or severe cases of blackheads. They
may require manual extraction; most pharmacies have a small tool that can be used to
press the skin around them, forcing out the elements inside. Topical medications such as
benzoyl peroxide or Retin-A can also be used to clear up the bacteria and other harmful
elements contained in blackheads.

If you're prone to blackheads there's no reason to be frustrated. Usually a regular routine
of good skin care is needed; it's important to address this problem on a consistent basis.
Typically it's not cured overnight but if a person is regular about their cleaning regimen it
can be fixed over time. When the oil and dirt are ignored and allowed to settle and build


up in the pores and hair follicles then blackheads develop. Be gentle with your skin but
clean it regularly and you'll probably see a great decrease in breakouts.

Is There a Cure for Acne?

With all the advances we've made in the fields of medical science and research, you
would think by now that there would be a simple and easy cure for acne. After all, you
can take a pill to prevent a pregnancy and get a new heart transplanted when yours is
diseased, so it would seem an easy thing to have a pill you can pop or shot you can get as
a cure for acne. Unfortunately while dermatologists and doctors have made great strides
in understanding acne and its cause and prevention, they haven't yet come up with that
magic or easy actual cure for acne. But that doesn't mean that an acne sufferer is
completely out of luck as of yet; there are many things that one can do to treat and
address this condition and both heal up breakouts and prevent new ones as well. While
some of these things might include certain products and treatment options, many of them
involve just a few simple changes in your routine and skincare regimen.

For one thing, it's not uncommon for acne sufferers to go overboard in their search for a
cure for acne and to overuse or overdo it when it comes to cleansers and topical agents.
Using soaps that are medicated every single day can only result in drying up your skin,
causing it to produce even more oil than before. Most topical agents should be used only
once per day, usually at night. Using them again in the morning and during the day can
also result in your skin becoming very sensitive and dry. As with any medicine or
ointment, any cure for acne should be used only as instructed and not be overdone or
misused in any way.
There is some controversy about how one's diet affects their acne and occurrences of
breakouts, but usually any cure for acne involves a good diet and regular physical
activity. While some think that fried and greasy foods have no connection to acne and
breakouts, others still staunchly disagree and point to those who have made changes in
their diet with good results on their skin.
Dermatologists can also prescribe certain medications, whether topical or oral, that work
as a cure for acne in extreme cases. When bacteria build up in hair follicles or enlarged
pores this can result in a pimple that never seems to go away, and some who have severe
acne on their face, back or elsewhere may need help from a dermatologist to address this.
Usually simple antibiotics work as a cure for acne in these cases as it helps to clean up
those trapped bacteria.
Usually a good skincare regimen also works as a cure for acne; using a mild cleanser that
is meant for sensitive skin only at night and a toner in the morning, along with proper
moisturizing and a light application of a topical treatment can go a long way toward
having healthy and radiant skin that is acne free.

What is Cystic Acne and How Do You Treat It?

One of the most difficult forms of acne that anyone could have is called cystic acne. This
type of acne is very severe, the roots are very deep, and it is usually the most unsightly of
all types of breakouts. What is cystic acne and how do you treat it?
All forms of acne are collections of dirt, oil and bacteria that get trapped in enlarged
pores or hair follicles and which are not allowed to escape through regular rinsing or
washing of the face because the skin forms a small barrier over these. Everyone has dirt
and oil on their face, but not everyone gets acne and certainly most don't have cystic
acne. The problem with acne is not just that collection of dirt and oil but that barrier of
skin cells as well, which shouldn't form this way over that opening. When that barrier
forms that collection grows into a small bump that we call a pimple.
Address the dirt and oil is part of treating any case of acne, including cystic acne. But
how is this condition different than regular acne and what makes it so much worse?
Most who have acne have a very small collection of dirt and oil that gets trapped in that
opening, but those with cystic acne have bacteria that go much deeper than that. It's not
just in the pore or hair follicle but goes many layers under the skin and then continues to
grow or "breed."
Remember that bacteria feed on things and when they do they grow and grown until
either their feeding source is stopped or something comes along to kill them. With cystic
acne these bacteria go so deep in the skin that they get nourishment constantly, like a
plant with very deep roots that doesn't die easily. Cystic acne is much like that; because it
goes so deep under the skin it continues to grow and breed.
Addressing cystic acne is usually a bit different than addressing other forms of acne.
With most forms of acne a simple topical ointment and good routine of cleaning can keep
breakouts to a minimum. With cystic acne you may need to see a doctor to get a
prescription for antibiotics, which address the bacteria at their source. With an oral
antibiotic you are killing bacteria from within and don't need to try and fight it on the

surface, which is usually ineffective with cystic acne.
A dermatologist can also do much to address the scars that are common with cystic acne.
Because these breakouts are so deep in the skin it's not unusual for a sufferer to have
scars that are very deep as well, but there are many options available today to correct
these and most are relatively mild and painless and are done on an outpatient basis. So
while cystic acne may be difficult and even downright traumatizing to some people, it
doesn't really need to be. It can be addressed and treated.

Getting the Right Help for Acne

It may be no wonder that many people are searching for help for acne when it comes to
their breakouts. For some, they are so frustrated and irritated by constantly waking up to
the sight of pimples and irritation that they may think that there is just no such thing as
effective and permanent help for acne, and may be ready to give up. But before that
happens, keep in mind that dermatologists and doctors have done quite a bit of research
over the past few years about acne, what really causes it, and how to treat it. Even for
very severe cases that have been around for years, there is help for acne sufferers.
It's important to remember a few things when getting help for acne. For one, don't
believe everything you see or hear when it comes to acne, especially when it's something
that is part of a marketing or advertising campaign for products that supposedly cure your
acne. Remember that these people are trying to sell you a product and as much product
as they can, so what they're telling you isn't always going to be in your best interest.

While it's true that some products can be a great help for acne, using too many at one
time or using it too often, or in very large quantities, is just going to irritate your skin and
cause dryness, redness, and peeling. It's better to use these products sparingly, just once
per day, and only on the areas of breakouts.
It's also important that when you're trying to get help for acne that you enlist the help of a
dermatologist, especially for more severe or chronic cases. A dermatologist can
determine if you have what is called cystic acne, which is a very severe form of acne that
has deep "roots" of bacteria that go for several layers under the skin. This type of acne
doesn't always respond to products you get from the pharmacy and require a prescription
for an antibiotic. Usually an oral antibiotic is the best help for acne of this sort as it
attacks the buildup of bacteria at the source and helps the skin to heal itself. Many people
who have this type of condition don't realize what exactly they have and wonder why
those topical solutions aren't fixing anything and may even be doing more damage than
good.
Another thing to remember when it comes to getting help for acne is that you can do a lot
of good with natural products. Homemade facial masks seem to help quite a few people
and they're much less invasive and harsh on the skin than many commercial products.
Using masks made with eggs, yogurt, honey, and oatmeal can clean the skin deep down
and moisturize it at the same time. You may not think that homemade masks are going to
be much help for acne but they can make a big difference in your skin's overall
appearance and with controlling breakouts.

Is There Any Way to Prevent Acne?

Getting rid of acne and pimples is a good idea; no one wants them on their face and can
be devastated every time they wake up and see one in the mirror. But better than getting
rid of pimples and clearing up breakouts would be to prevent acne in the first place. It's
something like your body weight - losing weight is good if you're overweight, but it's a
much better idea to keep yourself from having those extra pounds in the first place. So
how do you prevent acne and are there any guarantees that you won't break out ever
again?
First, of course there are no guarantees that you won't ever have a breakout, no matter
what you do to prevent acne. Everyone's body is imperfect and trying to keep it perfectly
clean and blemish free is just going to result in frustration. Virtually everyone on the
planet has had a pimple at one time or another, and it's not the end of the world for
anyone. But by following a simple skincare regimen and taking care of yourself overall,
you can have much more success if you want to prevent acne and can the least amount of
breakouts.
Being gentle when you clean your skin is important as many make the mistake of using
products that are too harsh and of scrubbing too vigorously, thinking this will help to
prevent acne. In reality, your face is likely to overcompensate for this by producing even
more oil than before and by causing more breakouts. Your skin will also no doubt be red,
irritated, dry and flaky, which can be almost as unsightly as the acne itself! When trying
to prevent acne it's much better to use a cleanser that is mild and even meant for sensitive
skin and to be gentle in how you cleanse. A gentle toner may be better for oily skin than
an astringent, which contains a lot of alcohol and so will dry your skin excessively. A
toner can bring your skin back into balance when it comes to how oily it is.
It's also best to not use acne products if you don't have actual pimples or breakouts, even
if you're trying to prevent acne. These products are meant to address the dirt, oil and
bacteria that form acne but if you don't have pimples then you're addressing a condition
you don't have when you add these solutions to your face. They don't stop acne before it
starts but are meant to dry up pimples after they've formed. Using them when you don't

have a breakout is no way to prevent acne.
A good diet and regular physical activity is also important when trying to prevent acne.
Your skin needs nourishment just like the rest of your body and gets this nourishment
from what you eat and drink. Physical activity also means increased blood circulation
which brings vital blood and oxygen cells to the very outermost layer of your skin, which
keeps it healthy and radiant.

How is Rosacea Different From Acne?

Acne is a very difficult condition for anyone, young or old. But of course acne is not the
only problem that one can have with their skin, whether it's the skin on their face or
anywhere else. Cysts, moles, and rosacea are also very common problem that many
people have, and what is unfortunate is that most people just don't know the difference
between these things. They put acne medication on their cysts or think that moles are
blackheads, and so on. One of the most common mistakes they make in this area is
confusing rosacea for acne itself. If people don't get a proper understanding of what the
difference is between these conditions it's very possible to not only ignore acne at the
source but to actually make the condition even worse; especially with rosacea can the
skin become inflamed and irritated if it's not treated properly. But how is this condition
different from acne and what can you do to address it?
Acne is a very unique condition of the skin wherein dirt, oil and bacteria get trapped in
hair follicles or pores and a thin layer of skin or a skin cell forms over it so that it can't

get washed away. This then grows into what we call a pimple. Because pimples are
usually red and the area around these breakouts is typically also red, itchy, and inflamed,
it's easy to see how it can be confused with rosacea and vice versa. But it's important to
understand that rosacea is not acne because it is not a collection of dirt, oil and bacteria.
Instead, rosacea is a condition wherein the skin becomes red, irritated and inflamed. It
can also be somewhat dry and scaly. A person can have small bumps with this condition,
but these pustules are not the same as acne. As a matter of fact, using acne medication on
rosacea can actually make the condition worse, since most topical treatment options for
acne are very drying and contain harsh ingredient such as peroxide and alcohol. Imagine
adding any of these to an open wound or scrape you have on your skin - obviously this
would just make it feel much worse!
The best way to understand rosacea is to compare it to a skin rash. There are many
reasons for rashes, and those with this condition can inherit it from their parents or just
have it develop over time. While there is no overnight or quick cure for rosacea, most
that have this condition are encouraged to have it treated as it does seem to get worse if
ignored. Many also understand that it's difficult to cover or hide rosacea, but with the
right treatment options it can be lessened. It's also important to be sure that you really do
have rosacea and not eczema or allergies; these too can also be treated with the right
course from a dermatologist. It's also important to be sure that these conditions don't
spread and become worse as well.

Some Quick Tips for Treating Acne

Believe it or not, treating acne is not as difficult as some people make it out to be. Many
people are under the false assumption that to really address breakouts, you need an entire
arsenal of cleansers, toners, astringents, topical agents, and so on. While all of these
things may be helpful and even necessary in some cases and under certain circumstances,
it's also true that treating acne usually boils down to a few simple steps and important
factors. Let's review some of those simple tips here.
For one thing, keep in mind that using far too many products for treating acne can only
irritate your skin, leaving it red, blotchy, itchy, overly dry, and so on. You can also wind
up with a lot of dry skin flakes because of this, and of course dry skin over acne only
makes the problem worse. A better course for treating acne is to use a very mild and
gentle cleanser just once or twice per day, no more. Follow that with a light moisturizer
and then just use acne medication in the spots where you have the most breakouts. This
way you're not overdoing it when treating acne and won't harm the rest of your skin on
your face or make the condition worse.
Many people skip the part about moisturizing when treating acne, assuming that their
breakouts are caused by too much oil and so moisturizing only makes the problem worse.
In reality, if your skin is too dry or you're stripping too much oil from it then your skin
might overcompensate by sending the oil glands into overdrive, producing even more oil
than before. Using a light, water-based moisturizer can actually help with treating acne!
Your skin knows that it's getting the moisture it needs so it slows down the oil glands in
many cases.
Not doing things that are harsh and rough on your skin is also important when treating
acne. It's easy to be frustrated and even angry at your acne and your skin, and those who
do often find that they are very rough with their skincare regimen, using rough loofah
sponges and other items, or scrubbing too vigorously. This only serves to irritate your
skin and may stimulate those oil glands even more, since oil is the skin's natural
protection against such rough treatment. When treating acne it's better to be gentle with
your skin than it is to be rough. When you're gentle, your skin will have a chance to heal
itself and this means it can address the acne problem.

And of course there's no reason you shouldn't consult with a dermatologist when treating
acne. There are many new products on the market and new treatment options for you.
These treatment options are usually much less harsh and invasive than they were at one
time, and of course any medications or other treatments you get prescribed are usually
more effective than anything you may purchase at the pharmacy or over the counter.
