Acne- its causes and treatments

Oct. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Acne is one of the common skin problem faced by millions of people all around the world. Though it mainly affects the facial skin, it can also be seen on the neck, chest, back and upper arms in the form of pimples. Some pimples may be pus filled making it painful and irritating. Although it is regarded as a teenage disease, in some cases it may continue through the adult life. The exact reason for the development of acne is still unknown. It is supposed to be developed as a result of excess oil secretion and over stimulation of skin glands. This oil will be clogged in the skin pores together with the dead cells, thus resulting in black heads. The blackheads may then become infected, producing red, swollen and unsightly spots. If we squeeze or prick these pimples with bare hands, then it may result in permanent scars. In some cases stress, diet, vitamin deficiency can aggravate acne. Also hereditary and hormonal factors have an important role in the development of acne. Also oily make-ups are a good promoter of acne.
Treating acne
The best way to deal with acne is by keeping the pores clear. If the pores are clear then there will be no black heads and infections. You can use mild acne soap for this purpose. These soaps not only remove the dust and dirt from the pore but also deeply moisturize the skin from inside. Make sure not to rub with it too hard. It could make the condition worse. Also it gently heals all the scars if used for a long time slot. One of the widely used acne soap is Face Surgeon Medicated soap.
