What Can You Do About Acne?
Acne is a distressing skin condition which causes pimples.
The eruptions
Acne may not be a serious or life-threatening ailment, but it causes a lot of psychological and even emotional problems. A few or occasional pimples may not be as distressing a whole crop of them. While it is usually the face which bears the brunt of an acne attack, this skin condition can occur in other places of the body, including the back, where it may even be unnoticed for a long time, unless you wear back-baring clothes.
Acne affects the younger population more than adults, though some adults do develop acne later on in life. It also affects more women than men. While in some people acne is a temporary condition, in others it becomes permanent and occasionally acne, or its many treatments, can even leave scars, so one has to be very careful.
Why does acne occur?
Almost everybody even with a clear, blemishless skin will have a brush with an occasional pimple or an outcrop. But for some, skin with acne is the norm. This usually happens in adolescence because of excessive hormone activity. The hormones activate the sebaceous glands and enlarge them, thus making it easy to trap excessive sebum.
