What Is Acne?
The real cause of acne can actually be a blend of several factors that we’ll discuss here. Note that the contents here are not presented from a medical practitioner, and that any and all health care planning should be made under the guidance of your own medical and health practitioners. The content within only presents an overview of acne research for educational purposes and does not replace medical advice from a professional physician.
Melanin: Substance that gives hair and skin its color
More preventative measures include using a lip gloss that promotes a matte finish instead of a high gloss for less pore-clogging; note the more the shine, the more then comedogenic content and the more the pores can clog. Beware that eye creams can contain heavier concentrations of moisturizers than regular creams and lotions, meaning they have greater potential to clog pores in the surrounding facial areas. Additionally use caution with hair styling products that contain oils, alcohol and adhesives that should be kept away from skin and from seeping into pores along with perspiration during workouts; especially watch hair gels and mousses so that they don’t cause clogging around your hairline. Use care when choosing fragrance and scented cosmetics, too, and opt for “hypo-allergenic” or “fragrance-free” versions where possible to avoid allergic reactions and skin irritations (a sampling 3-day test behind an ear is recommended).
Nodules are more likely to leave permanent scars than other types of acne Most serious scarring is caused by more severe acne, and the best way to deal with it is to get treatment soon after the acne appears If you have nodules, see your doctor or dermatologist right away He or she will assess your acne and will probably prescribe some combination of topical gels or creams The doctor may also prescribe antibiotic pills, oral contraceptives for some teen girls with acne (the hormones in birth control pills can help control acne in some cases), or other medication such as isotretinoin if the acne is severe
Isotretinoin (Accutane) is a very strong chemical taken in pill form It is used only for severe cystic acne that hasn't responded to any other treatment Accutane must NEVER be taken just before or during pregnancy There is a danger of severe or even fatal deformities to unborn babies whose mothers have taken Accutane while pregnant or who become pregnant soon after taking Accutane You should never have unprotected sexual intercourse while taking Accutane Patients who take Accutane must be carefully supervised by a doctor knowledgeable about its usage, such as a pediatric dermatologist or other expert on treating acne Your pediatrician may require a negative pregnancy test and a signed consent form before prescribing Accutane to females
