Acne is a general term but the truth is it can appear under many forms, some of
them mild and some of them severe; it is really important that you determine the
right type of acne you suffer before starting any treatment in order to remove
it as soon as possible and avoid acne scars.
Acne scarring appears after a period when pimples
have been systematically squeezed or torn. Acne scars get to be very profound sometimes
and the truth is that if they don’t disappear after 10-12 months, most probably they never will.
This is an aspect that
you should keep in mind when you are tempted to burst a pimple if it looks to ugly;
it is not easy dealing with this problem but it takes a lot of patience going through
it and escaping without any sign.
The most common acne lesions
are comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts; they usually appear on the
face, chest, back, or neck. Treatments are available in many forms, depending of
the gravity of the acne form (see our acne treatment systems effectivness comparrison chart ); you can escape from acne with home made solutions
or you will be forced to treat your acne with laser. There are solutions for everyone
and the most important thing is not to give up; acne has existed for centuries and
it is not a tragedy if you suffer from it: there are efficient treatments to heal acne, now more
than ever before, because of the modern science.
Over the time, doctors were confronted with patients that have worsen their acne
because of misleading information;
there were many adolescences that couldn’t wait to pop a pimple in order to make
it disappear quicker; as we said above, this will not only provoke other pimples
to pop-up but also will leave scars. There are many teenagers that don’t quite follow
the doctor’s advice in order to heal acne; if the dermatologist says it is important to keep the skin
clean and in order to do that you have to gently wash your face twice a day, they
understand that as powerful as they scrub their faces or as often as they do it,
they will get rid of acne much faster;
unfortunately that isn’t true because everyone knows that abusing of a method, no
matter how effective it is if used properly, it will have serious side-effects.
Another myth that circulates among teenagers affected
by acne is that sun exposure dries out the pimples and they go away; although it
may seem right it is actually very wrong. Many adolescences try to expose their
skin as much as possible to the sun in order to “naturally burn their pimples”,
not knowing that not only the acne will come back even more powerful that before
after a long sun exposure, but the sun rays will cause premature aging and skin
cancer in cases of abuse.
So, don’t be afraid to try an acne treatment but do it moderately; follow the exact
advice of your doctor or the exact instructions written on the label because even
if it doesn’t seem that way, the most powerful weapon against acne is patience.
