Imagine this scenario. You have a hot date with your boyfriend
tomorrow. But today, you woke up in the morning and found yourself
in the mirror with big pimples (jerawat) on your lovely face! Some
of you might scream in horror and some might just accept them as
normal. Whatever it is, acne or pimples are definitely any girls
worst nightmare and some may treat acne as one of their major hot
date spoilers!
Pimples are known in the medical world as Acne vulgaris. It is
actually an inflammatory skin disease caused by changes in the
pilosebaceous units of our skin. It is common in teenagers reaching
puberties but it can affect anyone up to the age of 40. There’s no
way you can really control acne, it will come and go as it desires
and that’s what makes them really irritating at times.
Nobody is quite sure how and why some people get acne more often
than others. It could be partly hereditary but several factors are
known to be linked to acne:
Hormonal activities such as menstrual cycles and puberty
Stress
Hyperactive sebaceous glands
Bacteria clogging skin pores
Accumulation of dead skin cells
Bacterial infection in the skin pores that causes allergy
Skin irritation
Use of steroids
Use of medications that contains halogens
Exposed to high levels of chlorine compounds
They are many acne medication products in the market today. No
one can be quite sure which products would be the best since it has
been recorded that some individuals have shown better responses to
certain products where others don’t. So, finding a good medication
for acne, pimples or taking care of those blemishes on your skin
would require some trial and errors. Once you had figured out the
best type of medication, stick to them like glue.
Now, what is your level of acceptance on acne? Do you find them
normal or do you find them horrifying?
