Health - Acne Overview and Information
Overview of Acne
Acne is the most common form of skin disorder in America.
Millions of people suffer from acne everyday. Although teenagers
and young adults are more susceptible to have outbreaks, older
adults who are going through menopause or pregnant may also
suffer from acne as well.
Acne is caused by an increase in hormones that produce an excess
of sebum which keeps hair follicles moisturized. A bacteria
called Propionibacterium acnes uses this sebum as nutrients and
infects the skin pores creating pimples and pustules.
Acne can be treated by a dermatologist or a host of over the
counter remedies. Many times acne can be difficult to treat
because there is rarely a one size fits all medicine or
treatment that works for everyone. Many people will experiment
with what works best, by trying different cleansers, medicines
and facial lotions. There are a host of great products on the
market including natural treatments to rid yourself of acne.
Many pharmaceutical companies have products for the treatment of
acne and there are several new types of acne medicines up for
review by the Federal Drug Administration.
If you are suffering from a mild case of acne it is extremely
beneficial to try over the counter or natural remedies. For
severe sufferers of acne is advised that they seek a
consultation with their dermatologist or physician.
