As we are all aware of, there are emotional effects caused by acne.
More than those obvious red bumps on your face, there are effects
of acne that could not just be healed by any cream or acne solution
and that is the emotional scars left by acne. Well, no doctor or any
expert dermatologist could provide you with the best answers to
this problem on acne.
According to studies, acne is very common when one is on his teenage
years. For teenagers experiencing the pains of acne, it is very difficult
to face the social impacts of acne. There are these marks of shame,
depression and even self-pity. As a parent of a teenager who faces this
problem, you could be one of the greatest helps. What could you do?
You could do a lot.
Remind your child that acne is temporary.
As a guardian, you need to be there and give the encouragement to your child.
You would probably see him or her so down due to the way people and criticisms
pinch him or her. Tell that it will not last for long and that it would be
successfully surpassed. Never stop to explain the importance of moving on
despite the negative reactions from others for their words are not that
important at all.
Bring your teen to a good dermatologist
Do not wait for your teen’s acne problem to get worse before you go and
see a dermatologist. The earlier the better, this may be cliché but very true
for this matter and you could realize the truth behind this. You need to
find the dermatologist who deserves your trust. Be with your teen as you
have visits to the dermatologist. Also, help your teen follow the reminders
and instructions of the dermatologist.
Guide your child to do the right things
There are some things or acts that may worsen acne. See to it that you are
near your teen to remind that those are not the right thing to do and it
would just cause bad effects. Explain the cause and effect of acne problems
and be sure t answer questions that your teen has.
Boost your teen’s self-confidence
Self-confidence plunges down when all those mocks and teases arise.
The effect to your teen would be bitter. Be there to boost the esteem he or
she has inside. Be generous with praises but do not use them just to flatter.
Tell your teen about how wonderful his or her talent is. This would be a lift
to his/her morale.
You are a parent, and you could help out your teen feel better through the
misjudgments of the society towards people with acne. This is just a stage;
it would surely be put to an end. Be there and support your child like no one could.
Misunderstanding Acne
When those reddish things on your face start to show up, you may think
that it may have been caused by this or that. You may even blame it to the
most unreasonable reason. Well the best thing for you to do is to stop these
misunderstandings. When you stick with them, it would not help you find
the right treatment for your acne.
These are the common things we think of when it comes to the cause of acne:
The most misconception is that it is fine to have acne especially when you are
a teenager. Common people would connect it to puberty or to adolescence.
This is not a fact. Well, there may be some reasons such as the changes in
hormones as one is in that stage. But there is falsity when people say that
acne is for teenagers only. As we could see or read on some researches, there
are also adults who experience the same acne problems as adults do. Age does
not matter when it comes to having acne as long as you keep your face clean,
you would not be prone to have it.
Another thing that has been believed to be the cause of acne is daily stress.
Most people, young and old, believe in this wrong thought. There is no direct
connection between stress and having acne for it the stress caused by your
daily life and all other stressful activities you may think of. There has nothing
to do with whatever root of stress in your work or studies. There has something
to do with the way you treat your skin. When you do not keep your regimen to
keep your skin healthy, you would probably have that acne that you are
scared to have.
When most people think that acne is just a physical problem, it is but you should
also know that it is also an emotional burden. There are a lot of emotional impacts
that could be caused by having acne. On of the top most effect is having low
self-esteem. As you live in a superficial world like ours, you would really feel
insecure whenever you feel like having those eyes staring at your face. People
with acne are so timid for they may just be tagged as “ugly” by others. There is
a need for you to take care of your skin and face.
The most common misconception about acne is that it could be acquired from
eating oily food. Desserts, chocolates and all those oily food must not be blamed
for eating such food but for not taking good care of your skin. Well, you must
see to it that you maintain that right way of keeping your face clean and healthy.
You have to know the real causes of acne; just do not resort to the wrong conceptions.
They could just harm you instead of helping you out in getting rid of acne.
And, you know what could be the effects of those red tiny humps on your face.
Pregnant Women and Acne Treatment
Treating acne is really the right move when you have it, but not at all times.
There are stages in the life of a person when you could not treat acne anytime
you want to. And, this is during pregnancy. As we know, this is a delicate
stage in a woman’s life and it is that phase of a woman’s life that she must
show extra care for herself. When she feels the need of treating acne, she must
see to it that she equips her self with the right information.
This must also be remembered by those who may also get pregnant. The
following are some medications for acne that are not good for use during
pregnancy for they are harmful for the fetus:
First is Hormonal therapy that may include estrogen, flutamide, and spirolactone.
They are a big no. They are harmful and may lead to some problems for both the
mother and the child. Better see it as a threat
Another one that would just put a pregnant woman’s life in danger is Isotretinoin.
This has negative effects as well especially for pregnant women or those that are
breastfeeding. This could cause severe health hazards on both mother and the fetus
inside her womb. It is advised that a woman on the process of taking this must be
monitored by the expert. Those who are trying to be pregnant must ignore the use
of this for it may just trigger negative effects not only for you but most especially
to your child.
And, also if Oral tetracyclines which could be of doxycycline, tetracycline and
minocycline, must not be an option at all for it would not do you any good. As
tested and proven, pregnant women or those that are breastfeeding must ignore
the use of this for it may just give those bad side effects that would nothing else
be but a threat to your life and to your child. The topmost effect is permanent
discoloration of teeth or bone disorders.
And the last one to ignore is topical retinoids such as tazarotene, adapalene and
tretinoin.
Just like the above-mentioned means, this could just be another hazard to you
and your baby’s health. So, whether you are pregnant or not, it is not wise to use
all these mentioned.
For all of you who would like to treat their acne but are pregnant, why must you
risk your life and the life of your child just to have a prettier face?
There is due time for treating your acne and during your pregnancy is not one of
the safest times.
Acne Treatment
Every person knows the value of our face. The better it is, the more advantageous
it gets. Before anything else, it is the first thing others look at whenever they see
you. In general, our confidence relies on our contentment to our physical appearance.
When one thinks he or she looks good, the confidence really exudes.
For growing up, the growth of pimples is really a major concern. For those who
do not have problems involving the face, congratulations! For those who are crying
over it, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel!
Is acne your problem? Are you spending too much money for chemical remedy?
Do you want to apply a remedy but you are afraid it may be harsh? Try the natural
way of treating your acne. You do not have to go that far… The treatment is right
in your home. The doctor is right within you.
The most effective beauty tip of all times is: drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Hydrating your body will help you get rid toxins. Love your body and love your skin.
Healthy and clean acts may also help. Make sure that you do not leave makeup
products on your skin because it contributes to clogging your pores, causing more
pimples and blackheads. Do not sleep with make-up on. Also, keep your hair away
from your face. Hair contains oil that may create breakouts to your skin.
Wash your pillow case and towels. They are absorbent and they absorb even
acne-contributors too. Lastly, never prick your pimples. You do not want your
face to be as dirty as your fingernails, right?
Eating healthy food because when you have ACNE would be best in order for
you to cleanse yourself not only outside but also inside. It would indeed help if
you lessen your oily or fatty food intake. Eating food rich in fiber is a remedy.
Moreover, in order for you to maintain a healthy skin, eating food that is considered
anti-oxidants would matter a lot. Food rich in Vitamins A, B and D as well as
those rich in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, chloride, magnesium, zinc, iron
and sodium.
When you maintain a diet which is high in beta-carotene and zinc, it would also
be of help not only prevention but as well as in the healing process and anti-scarring
of acne.
Beauty is skin deep. Yes, but having beautiful skin will make you feel more
beautiful for your self.
How Acne effects You in Society
“Some people think that the physical things define what’s within…
So full of the superficial…”
We could not deny the fact that in this world of beauty magazines,
you would always feel that there is a need to look good. What would
you feel when there are red oily humps on your face? Of course, this
would matter much.
When one has ACNE, it would definitely cause an effect that would let
the person not only feel a certain “missing ____” inside. Not only that,
the following are even worse outcomes brought about by having ACNE
in connection with the present society:
Social withdrawal
Decreased self-esteem
Reduced self-confidence
Poor body image
Embarrassment
Feelings of depression
Anger
Preoccupation
Frustration
Higher rate of unemployment
There are 3 key points to consider in seeking for the best way of solving acne problems:
Solution takes time so never resort to “fast-promise” remedy. Bear in mind
that it will not get healed over night; it is a case of patience and dedication.
Patience to wait for the right time to heal and dedication to do one’s regimen
for treatment are all needed.
Not all methods will work for all. Do not think that the method for A and B
are also good for you. Each of us has a unique skin type so consider all options
and be keen in choosing one.
You may need a dermatologist’s advice. Do not experiment this time. Acne is a
sensitive skin problem so it needs delicate way of treatment. Seek the expert’s
help or else you will end up with a worsen condition.
Society favors those who look good. We do not have to look perfect in order to
meet that standard. We just have to have the confidence and it could be obtained
if one feels comfortable with his or her self. This is achieved when you get the
healthy skin you want.
Fighting ACNE
Acne is a common skin problem not only in the USA but in many parts of the world.
For many, they resort to the use of medicines in order to get rid or even prevent acne.
It has to be taken note of that there are natural and easy ways to get rid of such
a skin problem. We would be pleased to share with you tips that would let you be
acne-free.
The following are the steps to take in order for you to keep your skin free from
skin problems:
Water therapy
You could prevent acne by drinking at least 2 liters of water a day, this would
keep you hydrated and let you overcome having too much clogged up pores.
When you drink this amount of water, you could shed dead cells properly.
Healthy diet
Eating vegetable and fruits would not only keep you healthy over-all but it
would let you have healthy skin specifically.
Natural for beauty
With so many beauty products, you would be tempted to try them with the
hope that their promises to make you look great or keep your face smooth and
healthy. Without you knowing it, they could harm your skin. They could even
lead your skin to some disorders. Instead of using such chemical-based, you could
try the natural things or products with natural components. One great example
is soaps with tea tree oil.
Stress? Out!
As shown by studies, there is a greater chance of having ACNE especially after
puberty. This is a stage when hormonal changes are at their peak. The more you
get stressed, the more your body would react to it. Relax, when you control stress,
your body could produce more cortisol, which is helpful against acne or its agents.
Not much coffee
Caffeine is identified to cause more stress by producing stress hormones in the body.
This is not healthy for your skin, stress would aggravate acne.
Take these as reminders; you would surely be acne-free!
Not All Scars Tell a Great Story
Acne is such an ugly thing to have not just when it is all-red and loud,
that people could notice it and tell you how bad it looks. But, the pain
of having the scars of such a terrible ski problem would surely bother
any person. The bad outcomes of having acne do not stop when the red
bumps are gone. Though the acne is out, the scars are so obvious and they
would surely be noticeable.
Are these scars bothering you? If they are, there are available means so
that you could get rid of them. Well, these processes may really cause you
to spend some amount but as attested by most who tried the following methods:
1. Collagen injection
2. Autologous fat transfer
3. Dermabrasion
4. Microdermabrasion
5. Laser Treatment
6. Skin Surgery
7. Skin grafting
8. Treatment of keloids
And who could be able to have the above-mentioned treatments? People who
are affected with acne from various ages for as long as it comes with the
dermatologist’s prescription could have the said treatments. How widespread
is acne in the world?
According to studies, acne is one of the most widely affecting skin problems
most especially affecting the United States. For Americans, 40 to 50 million
of them are facing this kind of problem. Moreover, most of those who experience
acne are those young people at the age of 11 until those adults aging 30. The
most common portions affected are the face, chest and back.
You could not just choose whatever treatment you want to have; there is a proper
treatment for the type of scar you want to treat. It is a must that you have the
right information and of course you seek the help of an expert for the determination
of the type of scars you have so that you would also be guided in choosing the right
way of treating your scars.
The right way of treating acne scars must be determined well so that you could be
able to have the results you want to achieve and definitely get the most out of the
money you spend.
TLC for Skin with Acne
When you have acne, you have to give extra care to your skin for as you know,
there are factors that changed your skin from those who have normal type.
As recommended by the experts, you have to treat your skin affected with acne
with more care and more caution. There are some helpful tips you must consider
in order for you to gradually get that acne cured or if not at least, not let your
condition turn even worse.
These are the things you must do and embrace as habits that you may be able to
achieve better skin.
*The simplest way is by washing and cleaning your skin gently.
There are gentle soaps that would surely wash your skin mildly. You are of course
not allowed to use soaps that are that strong for they may leave harsh effects on
your skin. Toners and cleansers are not also recommended for they have active
components that may worsen your skin’s condition. When you feel the need of a
toner or a cleanser, see to it that it has an approval from your dermatologist or
else you would just cry more and have even the worse acne condition.
Always see to it that you do not use skin products like skin scrubs for they would
surely harm your skin. Be very careful in treating your skin, if you would not, you
would definitely regret the outcomes. So, be disciplined and do not risk the health
of your skin just for temporary things.
*For men, shave carefully
In order not to increase the possibility of harm that your skin might get due to the
things you do or the products you use. Well, for men who shave off their skin hair,
it is very advisable that they shave carefully and use cream or soap before doing so.
The soap or cream would make the hair softer. Be sure to choose the right shaver as well.
Shaving is a really hygienic routine and sees to it that you do it properly without
harming your skin. You have to remind yourself of this for it is really very important.
*Choose cosmetics carefully.
This is a special condition when you have acne. Cosmetics must be chosen well most
especially, they are recommended by your dermatologist. When you have cosmetics
that are needed to be changed, you need to switch to products that are oil free and
are noncomedogenic. But, there are cases that the use of cosmetics is of no good at all.
So, in this case, it would be best to leave your skin free of cosmetics.
These are just some of the things you need to consider as reminders for those who
have acne. The right caution and care would surely give you the best results.
Treating Acne at Home: Save Your Money!
Is acne your problem? You do not have to consider it as a problem. There are more
things to prioritize and not letting that acne bother you that much for it would
not help at all. Well, another point we have to consider is how to treat acne.
With the treatment, money matters. This means that of course, you have to
have some amount of money for the treatment.
Well, when what you have is not enough, you could have the most reliable home
treatments. These would be saving you from having worse acne without having
to spend so much. What are these means? Are they safe? Yes, they are safe steps
in treating your acne problems and they would not let you experience all those acne
terrors or bad outcomes of trying to get the remedy for acne.
These are worth your trial for they are really effective and you could just be at home.
But, take note that these guidelines are only for mild acne problems and if you have
a more complicated situation, you have to seek the help of a professional.
First, if washing does not seem to be very helpful for you, then it is high time for
you to use benzoyl peroxide. This could be found from face wash, bar soap, topical
cream or gel. The reminder you have to take note of is that you must not over use
this solution for it may leave your skin super red or super dry.
One thing that you would notice as you try home remedies, the results may be slow.
But, you need to be patient about it. The results you are expecting to have may be
achieved like after a couple of weeks after you use them on your skin. Be really careful
with this for you would surely be hurting skin if in case and it may even lead to a
worse effect.
Have you heard about salicylic acid? It is another thing that you could use. And this
could be found in facial washes or facial pads. This could be very helpful to helping
your pores be unclogged and prevent the growth of pimples or even the case of acne.
Again, you have to be very careful in using it too so that you would not have even
those very bad outcomes.
These two: benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are very useful treatment aids you
could use. But, be very keen about them. Use them well.
When it is Not Fun to be a Kid
There is this so-called stage in our life when we experience the numerous changes
in us be it physically or other aspects. It is named as puberty. Then, it is followed
by that crucial stage called adolescence. There are a lot of physical changes that
occur during these stages. One of the most common physical changes and even a
physical problem for young people who experience such problem is acne.
Well, it is a myth that only teenagers, or let us call them adolescents who only
experience having acne, but to make it clear, acne is possible for all ages and whoever
the person is. But, the stages mentioned make the younger ones prone to acne for
they experience this physical change involving some parts of their system. These
physical changes are of course brought about by internal processes or even changes
as well.
What then causes acne?
Acne is caused by bacteria. It happens when our pores get clogged up with too
much sebum produced be our skin glands.
As we are all aware of, young people are not that very particular with being hygienic
and the care for face is one that is neglected. With this, acne occurrence is faster and
more possible. Teens experience a lot of hormonal changes; one of these many changes
is that teens produce more sebum from their face and when not properly cared, skin
disorders may happen. ACNE is one of the possible cases.
Around the world, this has been a common skin problem. There are remedies; there
are herbal solutions down to chemical solutions. ACNE should not be taken so hard,
when one tries options for remedy, it would surely be cured. Seeking the help of an
expert would of course be a great help.
For teenagers, it is also good to ask your parent or guardian to help you out in knowing
what is best for you and your skin problem.
There are also angles that connect the possibility of having acne to parents who had
their own acne experiences too.
Whatever the roots may be, see to it that you, as a teenager take good care of your skin
by giving the right amount treatment and not just let your skin problem get even worse.
I really do hope this post helps many of your young people with your problems of
acne, we all face this terrible problem growing up but some of us have more severe
problems then others so all the help we can receive is greatly appreciated since we
are so fragile in our teens when this skin problem hits us the hardest.
