Separating Fact From Fiction About Acne

By Edwin Edson


Research the condition thoroughly if you want to manage a complex ailment like acne. This is really true when there are plenty of untruths roaming around about acne. For this reason, we will be taking a close look at some commonly held beliefs about acne and debunking some of the myths about it. Many people think that it is okay to pop pimples on their face. Even though this might get rid of the pimple temporarily, this will only make your acne much worse in the future. That's because squeezing can push bacteria and infected skin further under the skin. Basically, this will allow your pimples to spread. You can also get scars on your face by popping your zits. Simply put, you should not want your face to have lots of scars. Even though this might seem too appealing to stop, never pop your zits. Put on any appropriate medication.

Other than this be as gentle as possible with infected areas. Do not infect your zits and squeeze them. Wash them gently when you wash your face.

It is still unclear as to whether or not acne is caused by stress. There is little evidence that the hormones in your body are triggered by your levels of stress. This will cause acne. Stress may not be the root cause of acne. But, it could make the condition worse. One way or another, stress is not good for you. So, try to figure out how you can reduce your stress levels. In addition, you should not allow your acne to get out of control on stress you out. This can happen when someone has a severe case that's hard to get rid of. Try to get rid of it. Do not forget that your acne problem will get better.

Should you worry about getting acne if you eat fried and junk foods? When you ask this question, there will be many answers that will back up both sides. While there are some doctors and researchers that will want to debate the subject, there is some proof that junk food is bad for acne. There is also some studies that show that some people suffer from acne when they eat or drink dairy products. This is on a case by case basis, because people have different reactions to food. But, everyone will agree that junk food should not be eaten in large amounts. If you eat a lot of chocolate and you have acne, you may want to experiment and stop eating chocolate for a while and see if this helps. Until more research clarifies this, you can only go by your own experience.

In conclusion, there is still lots of research being done about acne. Until more is known and a permanent cure is found, we have to be satisfied to work with the knowledge we do have and the treatments that are most effective. Many people have the wrong impression when it comes to acne. Acne has both good and bad theories going around about it.
