What Is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition comprising of inflammation
due to excess oil or sebum produced by the glands together with
dead skin pores. These two in combination, clog the pores resulting
in inflammation, which may become purulent whiteheads or blackheads
due to bacteria in the area. If the inflamed or clogged pore
runs deep into the skin, this area may form a cyst. The cyst
typically is only painful or colored when it becomes infected.
As you can see from the above description there are many causes
of acne, falling into four categories, namely: bacteria, hereditary,
hormonal or dogged pores. The sebaceous glands secrete oil naturally
in response to an increase of testosterone in both men and women
at puberty.
Acne typically affects 80-90 % of adolescents of sexes, boys
more than girls. Acne can develop later in adult years. Acne
usually affects the face, chest back and sometimes-upper arm.
Acne can also be found in infants due to the activation of
sebaceous glands in utero. Acne can be a chronic problem or
resolve spontaneously after 4-5 years as noted in 70% of acne
sufferers. The incidence of Acne at age 40 years is about
1% for men and 5% for women.
Acne is not caused by dirt, a diet with too much sugar or
caffeine although these can aggravate it. Other factors that
can affect acne include over exposure to certain weathers,
stress, hormonal changes, oily skin, endocrine conditions,
certain tumors and response to certain medications or drugs.
Acne Treatment
Since acne is often hereditary it can not be prevented, but
good skin toileting or cleansing can improve the condition by
reducing further lesions. Certain medicinal ointments, cleansers
are recommended when the condition becomes uncomfortable or
unsightly. These include sulfur amongst other chemicals. Since
Dead Sea Salts have a high sulfur content they are useful in
the cleansing required to purify the skin of acne sufferers.
Antibiotics and hormonal or steroid medications are prescribed
in severe cases. However other management is always advisable
first as these medications all have negative side effects.
Acne can have adverse psychological effects, as ones body image
is greatly determined during puberty and adolescence. To assist
in developing a sense of control, self-esteem and good body
scheme, it is possible to assist the body to restore healthy
balance with balanced diet, exercise, plenty of water, rest
and a balanced diet as all these assist in enabling the body
to remove toxins and restore natural health necessary to enhance
spontaneous recovery from this condition.
