Acne
Acne: More Than a Cosmetic Problem
People of all ages can develop acne, but many treatments are available.
Many believe stress and eating greasy foods can cause acne, but that's not the case.
Your skin is covered with many tiny holes, commonly referred to as hair follicles or pores, which contain oil glands that help keep skin and hair moisturized. During puberty, hormones can cause the skin to make too much oil, resulting in clogged pores, also known as pimples. If the top of a pimple is dark, it's called a blackhead; if the top is white, it's called a whitehead.
Acne symptoms include redness around pimples and small red bumps. If a clogged pore breaks open, additional swelling and red bumps can occur; acne that is deep in the skin can be especially painful. Most pimples occur on the face, but can also appear on the neck, back, chest and shoulders. Acne and acne scars often result in depression and stress.
Several factors can trigger acne. As previously mentioned, hormonal changes in adolescence increase the skin's oil content. Likewise, high humidity, sweat and stress also aggravate acne. Certain medications can contribute. Additionally, some scientists believe genetics plays a role: if a parent had acne as a teenager, his or her children are likely to have acne. Table 1 lists common acne myths.
People of all ages, including babies and elders, can develop acne. Even people in their 30s, 40s and 50s can develop acne. Up to 80 percent of people ages 11 to 30 have acne outbreaks, with 27 percent having severe acne, often leading to scaring. During adolescence, acne is more common in boys; in adults, acne is more common in women. At 40 years old, 5 percent of women and men still have acne.
Acne and Diet
Diet, as a cause of acne, has been controversial. Chocolate, pizza and nuts don't appear to cause acne, while there is some evidence that diets high in refined sugars and dairy products may be related to acne. There is a stronger connection between skim milk and acne compared with other dairy products: People who drink two glasses of skim milk daily have a 44 percent greater chance of developing acne. White bread, rice, potatoes and pasta may likewise play a role.
Treatment
Treatments focus on four goals:
Acne Scars
Acne scarring ranges from mild to severe, the latter being associated with deep tissue scars. Laser skin resurfacing, dermabrasion, chemical peels and the use of fillers are four procedures used to treat acne scars. Laser skin resurfacing removes skin layer by layer, with precision, so that skin cells formed during healing give the skin a tighter, younger-looking surface. Dermabrasion, also called sanding, removes layers of skin, as well. Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to make it "blister" and eventually peel off; the new skin revealed is usually smoother than the old skin. Fillers, which are injected, "plump" up scars and bring them closer to the surface, thereby making them less noticeable. The effects of fillers last between six and 18 months. Acne surgery is another treatment option. The surgery involves lifting the scar to make it less noticeable. Over time, some acne scars fade. Your doctor may use medications to prevent scarring. Bellafill was recently approved to treat acne scars. Isotretinoin is also very effective in treating and preventing scars; however, because isotretinoin can cause birth defects, it's not used in pregnant women.
Acne, left untreated, can lead to scars, depression and stress. Early treatment is critical to obtain the best results and minimize or prevent scarring.

| Table 1: Acne Myths |
|---|
| The following are not true: |
| Adults don't get acne. |
| Wearing makeup causes acne. |
| Eating greasy foods causes acne. |
| Stress causes acne. |
| Scrubbing gets rid of acne. |
| Poor hygiene causes acne. |

Treatment
Treatments focus on four goals:
- Heal existing acne.
- Prevent new lesions from forming.
- Prevent scarring.
- Minimize psychological stress and embarrassment.
| Table 2: Acne Medications |
|---|
| Oral antibiotics. |
| Topical antibiotics applied to the skin. |
| Medications called spironolactone and isotretinoin. |
| Retinoic acid cream or gel. |
| Azelaic acid applied to the skin. |
| Other agents, such as sulfur and benzoyl peroxide. |
| Table 3: Tips for Managing Acne |
|---|
| Wash your face twice daily after sweating. Perspiration worsens acne. |
| Use your fingers to apply gentle, nonabrasive face cleaners. Using a washcloth or sponge may irritate the skin. |
| Avoid scrubbing acne. |
| Shave carefully. |
| Shampoo regularly. If you have oily hair, shampoo daily. Also, keep hair away from your face. |
| Avoid wearing hats, headbands and baseball caps. |
| Avoid touching your face, which may cause flare-ups. |
| Choose makeup carefully. Select oil-free products, and never leave makeup on overnight. |
| Avoid sun and tanning beds. Some acne medications result in the skin being very sensitive to sunlight and tanning devices. |
| Find the right OTC product for your skin type. These creams, washes and soaps work in different ways to reduce oil production in the pores. |
| Consult a dermatologist if OTC products are ineffective. |
| If acne depresses you, talk to your doctor. |
| Don't squeeze or pop pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. This can lead to scarring. |

5 acne treatments
5 Acne Treatment Tips You Can Use Today
Luckily, there are a number of things you can do everyday to make sure your skin is less prone to flare ups. Here are five tips for taking control of your acne starting today.
1. Exercise - Keeping in shape can help fight acne by fighting off negative stress levels that can come from negative self-esteem and depression. However, some safeguards need to be in place to ward off acne that can result from your workout routines. Watch what you put on your body with regards to clothing, sports gear and equipment.
For example, tight lycra and nylon exercise outfits might look great in the movies and on magazine models, but if you are susceptible to acne problems, avoid these synthetic fabrics that tend to trap in body moisture and heat resulting in a bacteria frenzy. Instead, choose loose clothing made of cotton or natural blends to allow more air to get to your skin.
And when you are finished with your workout, get out of clothing wet from perspiration or water sports. Shower and change into dry, clean clothing. And keep your sports gear and equipment clean, too. Dirty headgear, for instance, can irritate forehead areas prone to acne problems. So toss headbands into the washing machine after workout sessions.
2. Cosmetics - To avoid pore-clogging and skin irritations that are similar to acne and that can contribute to acne, use products labeled noncomedogenic or oil-free. Shimmering facial colors can contain a flaky mineral called mica that can cause skin irritations and clog pores. Other additives in coloring that can cause similar reactions are coal tar derivatives, carmine and heavy cream in blushes.
More preventative measures include using a lip gloss that promotes a matte finish instead of a high gloss for less pore-clogging; note the more the shine, the more then comedogenic content and the more the pores can clog. Beware that eye creams can contain heavier concentrations of moisturizers than regular creams and lotions, meaning they have greater potential to clog pores in the surrounding facial areas.
3. Diet - Studies show that diet does not play a role in either the cause or the treatment of acne. However, what is recommended for acne preventative care is this: what is best for your body is best for your skin, especially since your skin is the largest organ of your body. So remember to watch your diet and consume healthy vitamins, minerals and other supplements. This will help to prevent and help conquer acne breakout.
4. Hygiene - A healthy skin regimen should include no harsh scrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause possible skin irritation or possible over production of oil to replace what has washed off, clogging pores in the process. Products with gentle exfoliation ingredients are OK to use; i.e. not scratchy nut or fruit shell pieces that can tear skin. And skip alcohol products when possible; these can take off the top layer of your skin and cause your glands to product more oil, clogging pores in the process.
If you do spot acne-troubled areas, do NOT mess with them. Remember that these are already weeks in the making, and squeezing or picking blemishes can force the infected area to regress back inside, further troubling the region and possibly leave a scar. If necessary, seek help from a dermatologist for alternative treatments.
5. Shaving - Shaving for both genders is actually an excellent way of exfoliating or removing dead skin to help with the prevention and spreading of acne instead of leaving the remains to clog pores. And for some light acne cases already in process, shaving can help rid whiteheads and blackheads from the face. A word of caution: for areas with infection or high inflammatory activity (redness, sensitive, open acne, sores, etc.), do not shave. Or at the very least, use a shaving cream for sensitive skin!
