Skin Concerns: Acne
What Is Acne?
There are a lot of us suffering due to an unwelcome guest – Acne. It is a very common issue faced by millions of people worldwide, including older people and not only young adults. Acne is easily mistaken by some as a normal skin infection, or something that you just have to live with, but that shouldn’t be the case. Acne is actually quite complex and it occurs due to an interaction between changing hormones, sebum and a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes. This is one of the main reasons why seeking professional advise is always recommended as home remedies may not always solve the problem correctly.
Skin Concerns: Acne
What Causes Acne?
The most common problem area for acne is our face, followed by other areas like arms, neck, back and chest which are less common. Acne also leaves behind some issues like pigmentation and scarring, which could just as worse to deal with. You get scars when the skin does not complete the healing process completely. Another side-effect of acne is Post-inflammatory-hyperpigmentation (PIH) which causes dark spots due to increased pigment production. These are treatable through chemical peels or even safe advanced lasers. Although, we recommend visiting an expert dermatologist to get your acne and its cause correctly diagnosed and get recommendations accordingly as it could be a variety of reasons like hormones, lifestyle, stress or heredity. In order to avoid permanent scarring on your skin, you should seek professional advise and get your skin back on track, and looking beautiful!
