There are many days that get started off with a frightful
scream or heartbreaking dismay from both men and women. The source of this
shock and disappointment is an inflamed greasy and oily clogged up skin pore.
Acne is an unwelcome blemish on anyone's face; it can be
quite painful too. If left untreated,
acne can leave an unpleasant scar on the face, neck or back. Unlike the common
pimple, acne can be inflamed and possibly turn out to be infected.
Hormones that go into overdrive during the teen years of a
person cause acne, they produce an excess of oil deposits in the glands
resulting to this skin blemish. While they are not particularly life
threatening or are they extremely painful and disturbing they can leave
permanent scars in the affected area.
Acne usually happens around the teenage years, from 13 to
19, and usually disappears there after. Different people have different levels
or seriousness of acne infection. These will all depend on the amount of oils
and dirt the face has. While some have minor infections that can be treated by
simply washing the affected area, there are those that necessitate the
consultation of a dermatologist or a skin expert.
Acne may not seem to be a serious matter for some, but it is
an infection that can greatly affect many. There are people with acne who locks
themselves up in their rooms waiting for the acne to disappear. It is a serious
blemish that they cannot show to the world. Every year, ointments and acne
medication has estimated sales of over a hundred million dollars. This just
shows how many people are dead serious in eliminating acne.
