Acne Advice For People Wanting Blemish Free Skin |

Acne is a disorder of the skin that affects adults as well as
teens. It occurs when follicles, or pores, become blocked. Oils,
naturally present in skin, are unable to drain and become
blocked inside the follicles. Before long bacteria begins to
grow.
Skin blemishes referred to as blackheads and
whiteheads then begin to appear. When the oil and bacteria that
is trapped remain below the skin, the blemish is referred to as
a whitehead. A blackhead occurs when the oil and bacteria are
partially exposed. The color of the blemish turns black due to
pigmentation within the skin. Blackheads usually last far longer
than whiteheads due to the fact that it takes longer to drain.
It is believed that hormones, diet, stress and vitamin
deficiency may play a role in the development of acne. While
acne includes both whiteheads and blackheads, there are a
variety of types of acne that range in severity.

include
common pimples with inflammation apparent below the surface of
the skin as well as blackheads. Small red bumps that have no
'head' may also be present and are known as papules.
Acne Vulgaris in its most severe form includes lesions that are
known as nodules and cysts. These are normally much larger than
mild or moderate acne and may be more painful. Nodules are
usually small and hard, below the skin and do not contain pus
while cysts do. Scars can appear if Acne Vulgaris is not treated
correctly.
A gentle cleanser and a benzoyl peroxide
cream can be effective in treating mild to moderate forms of
Acne Vulgaris. Avoid overwashing; gently cleansing the face in
the morning and at night should be sufficient. Taking care not
to touch your face during the day and using oil free cosmetics
may also help. Extreme caution should be used in trying to 'pop'
pimples, as this can result in scarring. Papules (small red
bumps with no head) should never be popped or squeezed.
Acne Rosacea can easily be confused with Acne Vulgaris and
often appears to be quite similar. Most people who suffer from
Acne Rosacea are adults over the age of 30. A red rash along
with bumps and pimples signal the presence of Acne Rosacea,
which normally appears on cheeks, nose, forehead and chin.
Blackheads are normally not present with Acne Rosacea. This type
of acne can be quite serious because when it is left untreated
it can actually cause |
