Eating Bread Too Can Cause Acne In Some People
2007-11-09 17:08:00
Eating too much of highly processed foods is said to trigger acne; and it is one of the reasons that it is said that eating too much of bread can lead to acne attacks.   It is a fact that the refined grain and sugar found in bread increases the level of insulin in the body. And past research has found that too much of insulin in the body tends to stimulate acne.   It is mainly because of the fact that white bread is easy to digest that it leads to higher insulin, and the insulin like growth factor called IGF-1. With this, you find an increased amount of male hormones in the body that causes an increase of sebum and oil in the skin.   Those on a low carbohydrate diet tend to have less acne flare-ups. So scientists infer that acne breakouts in both adults and teenagers are caused by the over consumption of unhealthy foods.   For additional proof to this statement, it has been found that acne flare-ups are uncommon in countries where most of the food is largely unprocessed. &nb...

Adult acne is caused by two, and not one abnormal factor
2007-10-28 16:25:00
Adult acne is a skin condition that affects mostly fair-skinned people of north-western European descent. It starts as erythema where there is flushing and redness on the center of the face, cheeks, nose, forehead and sometimes the neck and chest.   Research today has proven that adult acne is caused by a combination of two abnormal factors, and not one abnormal factor.   Adult acne is not only caused by a type of bacteria, but is also aggravated by the antibiotics that are used to treat its symptoms. And with the passing of time, adult acne tends to get worse.   Research has proven that it was the small proteins in the body’s host system, called anti-microbial peptides that induced acne type symptoms like bumps, pimples, redness and in increase in visible blood vessels.   So researchers looked for reasons for these patients to develop these abnormal peptides. It was found that the precursor form of these peptides, cathelicidin that guards the skin from infections was foun...

Pantothenic Acid Supplements Are Best Taken In Powder Form
2007-10-18 06:29:00
Pantothenic acid supplements prove to be quite effective in controlling and treating people suffering from chronic acne problems.   All you have to do is to take Pantothenic supplements, in four doses per day for about 2 months till you find some improvements in your acne problem.   Once you reach a point where your acne is controlled, you can reduce your Pantothenic acid supplementation till you find the right ‘maintenance’ dose for you to maintain your acne problem.   However as Pantothenic acid has to be taken in large amounts, you can’t expect to find it in the foods you eat. You will not be able to get the right amounts of Pantothenic acid with a multivitamin or B vitamin complex either.   Pantothenic acid pills are not feasible as you with pills; you will have to take above 20 pills a day. So the only reasonable way of getting your Pantothenic acid supplement is Pantothenic acid powder, which is effective in treating acne.   It is not possible to find Pantotheni...

The Connection Between Acne and Wheat:
2007-10-10 09:20:00
Though it may sound surprising, wheat products do seem to cause an increase in acne in some people. This is because wheat products like pasta, pastries, bread, nutrition bars and other products with wheat cause an increase in blood sugar, called hyperglycemia.   With this, there is an increased production of insulin and insulin induced inflammation in the follicles of the skin. With cellular growth stimulation there is an increase in cellular debris that blocks the skin follicles, and thereby promotes acne infections.   Even other chemicals in other food products get involved in cellular growth, and this tends to create acne infections.   It is also thought that it is the wheat gluten in wheat that creates this inflammation in the skin as other cases of hyperglycemia do not seem to promote any acne.   There is also speculation that candidiases tends to become pathogenic in favorable environments like a weakened immune function, that is caused by chronic acne.

The Relation Between Insulin, Hormones and Acne:
2007-10-03 06:03:00
Overeating not only makes you gain weight, it also leads to the storage of fat and an increase in oil production in the body. This often leads to an increase in the production of insulin in the body, which makes hormones of the body produce more oil in the skin.   This in turn leads to an increase of bacteria levels in the skin. One such hormone is the high levels of testosterone in the body which stimulate the enlargement of sebaceous glands in the skin, which produces more oil, and blockage of pores.   The hormone androgen also affects the production of oil in the body. Androgen is present in both men and women; with men having more of the hormones. Androgens help expand the sebaceous gland of the skin to produce more oil in the body.   With this increased sebum, the pores get plugged pores and create a great medium for bacteria to develop in the body.   The process of blocked pores leading to acne is easy to understand. There are more of pilosebaceous pores found on the face,...

How To Treat Hormonally Induced Acne In Women
2007-09-23 15:19:00
There are many different types of acne triggers which depend on different individuals. In women, there are some cases where their acne problem is triggered by an excess of androgen (male) hormones. The reason doctors usually attribute this to be the cause of acne is because of clues like hirsutism (excessive hair growth on the body or face), irregular menstrual cycles, premenstrual acne flares and increased blood levels of some androgens. In such cases, the doctor may prescribe different types of drugs to cure acne like birth control pills which suppresses the androgen the ovaries produce. They may also prescribe low-dose corticosteroid drugs like dexamethasone or prednisone that help in the suppression of androgen that is produced by adrenal glands. Then there are some doctors who may prescribe anti androgen drugs like spironolactone that helps reduce the excessive oil production in the skin of the victim. Like most types of medication, there are side effects with these antiandroge...

Isotretinoin is a great choice in helping you cure acne as it basically prevents scarring. And on completion of your course, you will most likely be cured of your acne problem. however if there is a recurrence of acne after your course of isotretinoin, the doctor may either prescribe some other medications or institute another course of isotretinoin.
