Adoloscent
Acne
Are you
looking for some inside
information on acne? Here's an
up-to-date report from acne
experts who should know.
Adolescent
acne is referred to by many
names, teen acne, acne
adoloscent, and hormonal acne to
name just a few. Whatever you
want to call it, it can be
frustrating, painful, and
embarrassing to a
teen.
Living with
acne over a prolonged period
during your teen years can be
emotionally devastating, after
all this is the age where your
appearance is most important.
Teen acne is very hard on the
ego, often resulting in teasing
and razzing from peers. Some
teens suffer from not only acne
but sever depression.

During
the adolescent years
almost every teen will
have at least an
occasional whitehead,
blackhead, or pimple.
Adolescent
acne usually occurs
between the ages of 12
and 20, and is usually
the result of
fluctuating hormone
levels.
Once
the hormones stabilize
out the acne will
normally
disappear.

So
what’s the best way to deal
with adolescent acne? The
simplest and most important thing
a teen can do, is to learn to
take good care of their skin,
keeping it clean and as oil free
as possible.
This is not
a cure but can help keep acne
breakouts to a
minimum.
Eating
healthy and drinking plenty of
water will also help by keeping
the skin hydrated and the body
flushed.
Girls
should use oil free cosmetics.
Lightly exfoliating once a week
will help open pours, and remove
dead skin debris.
If your
acne facts are out-of-date, how
will that affect your actions and
decisions? Make certain you don't
let important acne information
slip by you.
Milder
cases of acne can be controlled
by using conventional over the
counter medicines that are
applied directly to the skin.
These medications usually include
benzoyl peroxide or retinoic acid
as an active
ingredient.
Some
natural products that can be used
to treat acne are tea tree oil or
Echinacea. Wash your face twice a
day with a mixture of these herbs
to reduce the number of break
outs. Both have anti-inflammatory
and anti-septic
qualities.
In more
severe adolescent acne a Doctor
may try various oral medications
such as antibiotics, oral
contraceptives or
Accutane.
As teens
get older and hormones stabilize,
fewer outbreaks should be seen,
however some people do continue
to have outbreaks well into adult
hood. If the teen acne condition
worsens or becomes emotionally
debilitating it is important to
seek medical help from a
dermatologist.
You do not
want an adolescent to grow up
with skin and emotional scars as
a result of acne, so treat not
only their physical scars but
their emotional scars.
Knowing
enough about acne to make solid,
informed choices cuts down on the
fear factor. If you apply what
you've just learned about acne,
you should have nothing to worry
about.
