Understanding Acne
By Vincent DeLuca
As a kid, you hear a lot of things about acne. Everybody has their opinion on what causes it or how to stop it. My nana insisted that it came from a teenager having premarital sex. My papa said she was crazy. Everybody knew that was the result of eating too many sweets. My mamma didnt care who was right or wrong as long as I didnt make her a grandma before I was married and all of the Cannoli was eaten.
My family joked a lot about at my expense, but the reality is that most people really dont understand what is and where it comes from. Everyone knows the myths about acne, but few know the truth.
Acne is the result of natural oil that your body produces becoming clogged in your pores. Once the pores or hair follicles are clogged, bacteria starts building up and mixes with the oil. This leads to the bumps, zits, pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads that we commonly refer to as acne.
Doctors know that this is the process by which takes place. From this information, they have developed several treatment options to help clear up over a period of time. However, no one knows for sure how to prevent or completely stop it from occurring in the first place. Because of this, there are countless myths and old wives tales floating around.

much chocolate. If you have a huge zit, you obviously havent been drinking enough water. Pimples are simply a matter of cleanliness. If you wash your face more, then you wont have bumps. Of course, my favorite myth is the one that says since occurs most often during the teenage years. It is a sign that teenagers are having premarital sex.
Hysterical right? I know. The truth is that these are myths and not scientific facts. Yes, if you change your diet, your may subside for a while. Sure, if you reduce your stress level and drink more water, you may see an improvement in the condition of your skin. However, what works for one may not work for another.
That is why it is so important to talk with your dermatologist about what treatment options and preventive steps can be taken based off of your unique skin composition. By understanding what is and what habits trigger in your skin, you can put an end to the myths and start regaining control over your appearance and self esteem.About The Author: Vincent DeLuca is author of Healing Health from Home and owner of Heavenly Orchards, an herbal eatery and spice for life store.
