Lets Dispel Some Acne Myths


It is the bane of a person's existence. Everybody gets it;everybody hates it. And once you have it, prepare to betormented, embarrassed and humiliated. Such a small bump, so muchat stake. So what is this little bundle of horror? What elsebut the dreaded pimple!

A pimple, or acne as some people calls it, is a dreaded red,swollen bump in the face. Nobody is spared from having it. Maleor female, American, Chinese or Puerto Rican, they all havegotten it at some points of their lives and may even still haveit. It is like a universal language; it is like a right ofpassage in a person's life. Acne is a result of the hormonesaction on the skin's oil glands (the sebaceous gland) which leadsto clogged pores and outbreak of lesions like pimples, blemishesor acne. Acne commonly occurs in the neck, face, back, shouldersand chest because the sebaceous glands are most abundant in theselocations. But the important question we should be asking to beable to avoid this dreaded "disease" is, "What causes this painin the neck called acne?"

Unfortunately, the causes of acne cannot really be determined(unless your parents or their parents are acne infested too thenthere's a big, big chance you'll be called acne face by yourpeers and classmates) thus the acne myths are born! These mythsclaim to be the cause of acne. We shall enumerate them here.

Acne Myth Number 1

Acne is caused by not washing your face often and not scrubbingit hard enough. Many believed that acne is caused by dirt anddust in the face and by washing your face two-three even fourtimes a day or even by scrubbing your face hard can prevent acne.Wrong, wrong, wrong! It is true that dirt and dust is unsightlyto the face and washing the face is the way to eradicate them butwashing often can actually irritate the skin more. Washingshould not be done more than twice a day. More than twice isenough to strip the face of its natural oils making it dry.Also, scrubbing can cause inflammations. Washing the face shouldbe done as gently as possible with the gentlest facial scrub.

Acne Myth Number 2

Improper Diet can cause acne. Certain foods that are oily likeFrench fries and junk food can cause acne to erupt in our face.But scientific studies have not discovered any connection betweenthese two. So this means that food does not cause acne. Thougha proper and healthy diet is always good for our system, eatinglike a pig won't make pimples a permanent resident in your face.So feel free to eat your favourite Lay's, French fries andchocolates anytime.

Acne Myth Number 3

When you're stressed acne tends to pop on your face like popcornpops from a kernel. Not true. Stress is a part of our dailylives and believe it or not it is not a contributing factor tothe acne residing in your face. Only severe stress treated bythe doctor MAY cause acne to erupt only as a side effect of thedrugs a person may be taking. If this is the case, consult yourdoctor immediately.
