Baby Acne: An Introduction
2008-04-13 19:19:00
Sometimes, even small babies might develop acne due to lingering hormones carried over from the mother after delivery. These hormones will cause irregular activity in the sebaceous glands, causing excessive production of skin oil. The baby continues to get these hormones after delivery through breast milk.  Around 20% of all newborns have acne-neonatorum or baby acne. Do not worry too much if your baby has pimples.  Though there are some common causes of acne in babies, adolescents, and adults, it must be clear that baby acne requires a completely different approach in treatment. This age group has the most careful treatment because of the young age. Baby acne affects more boys than girls. Most babies have acne attacks after they are 3 weeks old, though there are cases where babies will be born with acne. Most of the acne in babies is in the form of papules or pustules.  Papules are the red bumps on the skin while pustules are simply whiteheads. They will usually be filled with p...

Back Acne: Causes And Treatments
2008-04-10 18:08:00
Nearly every human has to deal with an acne problem at least once. Acne is a problem that occurs all over the world with no exceptions. Though it is nothing more than a skin condition that occurs for normal reasons and is easily cured, it is the embarrassment caused during the teenage years that gives it such a powerful image. At an age when people are becoming increasingly aware of their looks, an acne outbreak is a cause of major concern. Though acne is mostly considered and, indeed, advertised as a facial problem, it can also appear on other areas of the body. Similar to facial acne, there is no single known cause for back acne and it is believed to be caused by some of the same factors, or a similar combination, that result in facial acne. This involves overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands in the skin. The excessive oil production in these glands is triggered by hormonal changes experienced during puberty and also by females during pregnancy. Regardless of the hormona...

Common Acne Myths Solved- Your Guide To Acne

But what myths stem from actual truth- and what myths are complete fabrications? Popular Myths On Acne Diet is, scientists say, part of a good acne fighting regime. But as myths go, it is said that foods like pizza can cause acne. But in many studies, there just hasn’t been any proof. It is long believed that a good diet can help influence acne- but certainly not enough to cause major breakouts in most cases. Interestingly enough, other comfort foods such as chocolate or fried food has also been associated with acne. Studies show that this, too, could not be proven. It has been said that greasy foods often leave greasy residue on one’s hands- and then the residue can travel to one’s face simply by laying one’s palm on their cheek.

Cystic Acne
2008-04-07 17:06:00
Acne is a problem that is well known all over the world because it hardly spares anyone. Most acne first appears during the teenage years when appearance is suddenly important as children reach puberty. Thus acne cause lots of needless embarrassment and can seriously affect self-esteem. Sometimes acne can continue right up through the early 20s. Acne may be mild or severe and might take the form of pimples or cysts. Though it mostly appears on the face, it is quite common for acne to show up on the arms, back, and chest. The common form of acne is merely annoying and temporary but the severe cases can lead to permanent skin scarring and pitting. Cystic acne is the most severe form of acne and needs to be treated as early as possible.  Cysts are basically lumps under the surface of the skin. The lumps are made of skin tissue and pus but unlike pimples (blackheads and whiteheads) they do not break the skin surface. Cysts are responsible for blotched skin, uneven color, scarring, and ...

Adult Acne
2008-04-06 16:04:00
Adult acne is not as rare as people often assume. It happens frequently that an adult will wake up one fine morning and see something in the mirror that will put them back 10 years when they were facing puberty. The bad thing about adult acne is that age does not make it easier to bear. In fact, adults often feel worse than teenagers if they contract acne. Acne is related to the sebaceous gland in the skin and this gland can malfunction at any age. The oil on the skin is called sebum and is secreted by these glands. The gland is also attached to hair follicles. Sometimes the hair follicle gets stuck in the sebum along with dead skin cells and pretty soon you have bacteria thriving in there. This creates acne lesions. It is estimated that 20% of all females between 25 and 40 will suffer from adult acne. This recurrence of acne is attributed to several causes. In most cases it is simply a tendency to develop acne. If you had it as an adolescent, you are likely to have it again if you...

The Causes of Acne
2008-04-05 13:03:00
Poor hygiene is among the leading causes of acne development. Other common causes include hormonal changes and genetics. There is a common misconception that unclean skin leads to acne. This is completely false because acne appears on skin but its development begins in the glands. Because of certain hormonal changes the secretion of oil increases. This sebaceous gland opens at the surface of the skin but is located below it. When it begins secreting too much oil, the individual ends up with an acne condition. Oily skin leads to clogged pores and that is why too much oil is recognized as the leading causes of acne. A pore clogged with oil becomes a good breeding site for bacteria that manifest as blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. Some skin types are naturally oily and these are indicative or extreme hormonal activity. The dead skin cells will clog the pore and provide even more food for bacteria and the upshot is an acne breakout.  In cases of extreme acne, regular antibiotics an...

Your Next Step in Skin Fitness is the Acupuncture
2008-04-05 05:52:00
by Sara Musfeldt The practice of inserting filiform needs into specific spots on the body and then manipulating those needles is a technique that many practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine have done for centuries. Many of us comprehend the practice, acupuncture as it is called, to balance the body’s energy, or qi, which can be beneficial in relieving pain and nausea among other things. What many of us don’t know is that when it comes to skin fitness, acupuncture can work wonders. Acupuncture is commonly used in treating eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, and acne. In most cases, practitioners will advocate a combination of diet and herbal supplements to complement the acupuncture treatments. Many claim that for acne specifically this combination of treatments can be more effective than benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics. The acupuncture needles used in treating acne can be put on or near an actual pimple, but usually they are put on the body at key points that are know...

Looking For The Best Acne Skin Care Product?

Finding the best acne skin care product is becoming harder and harder with all the products available on the market. The Best Acne Skin Care Product s - What are the Ingredients? Acne is often the result of a particular cycle in our body. You see the role of the Sebaceous gland is to keep our skin moisturized by releasing oil onto the skin. For people subject to acne this oil often blocks the skin pores causing the oil to be trapped under the skin. This is what is usually called a pimple. For the vast majority the process ends there but for some people this is just the beginning of an acne outbreak. The acne breakout occurs when the oil trapped under your skin attracts bacteria that are called Propionibacterium. Those bacteria will then feed on the trapped oil causing it to grow. When the white blood cells attack the bacteria, the end result is red...

6 Effective Ways To Remove Acne On The Back
2008-04-04 17:08:00
by Angela Neo Bacne is a term coined for back acne. Like other forms of acne, back acne can be pimples, cysts or blackheads. It can affect anyone of any age and gender. There are several ways to treat back acne as well as prevent it from appearing. 1 - Use an acne body wash instead of soap. An acne body wash is made specifically to remove bacteria and to prevent acne from occurring on the back. Usually an acne body wash is strong than a facial wash as the skin on the body is thicker and requires a stronger solution. 2 - Use a dry towel to pat on your back dry after shower. Do not rub on the acne area as this may aggravate it. 3 - It is best to wear cotton clothes whenever you can.

Can Acne Scars Be Treated?

Scars left behind by acne are a double pain. First, you had to spend a long time to get rid of it and then the scars remind you every minute of what you went through. Is there any effective acne scar treatment? When you think of removing acne scars, you have to run through what acne is and what causes it. Acne is caused by the accumulation of excessive oil coupled with dead cells in the hair follicles. Then skin pores become clogged. This clogging promotes bacterial growth that shows up in the form of tiny red bumps or pus-filled red bumps called ‘pimples’.  The main bacteria responsible for acne are called Propionibacterium acne. Hormonal interplay during puberty triggers excessive oil production adding to the growth of acne.  There are many kinds of acne: Mild acne - considered to be those common white or blackheads, which most of us have suffered at some point or the other in our lives. Moderately severe acne - pimples that have a red and inflamed appearance, a...

Considering The Benefits of Microdermabrasion
2008-04-03 21:42:00
by Mary Bentley Many people have now heard of the skin care treatment called microdermabrasion as it is one of the most popular skin care treatments in both Europe and America at the moment. Microdermabrasion employs the use of a special machine which creates a strong circular flow of air down a tube out through a wand and onto the face and then back up into the machine. Fine medical grade aluminum oxide crystals are mixed into the air to remove the top layer of dead skin cells which are collected, along with the crystals, back into the machine. Microdermabrasion is described as a non-invasive cosmetic procedure and, as such, the treatment carries little or no risked when it is performed by a professional who has been suitably trained and fully understands the nature of skin. Although the process is simple and can now be performed, using professional techniques, in the home with equipment costing as little as $200 the professional machines are far more powerful and, obviously, produ...

Acne cause and Treatment
2008-03-28 18:45:00
Acne is a very common skin disorder affecting most young people in early puberty. It is caused by inflammation of the small oil glands called the sebaceous glands that surround the fine hairs on the face and chest. The severity of acne increases and, typically, reaches its peak around the late teen ages of 17 to 19. For most people, acne tends to go away by the time they reach their mid-20s; however, very sensitive people may continue to have the disorder until they reach their late 30s or in their 40s.
