Acne treatment is a very popular topic among teenagers and adults who suffer from this skin disease, from person to person the opinion of what is the correct treatment seems to vary considerably. With so many opinions of discussion is going around especially on the web, it is necessary to provide some of the facts when it comes to acne formation and treatment, let's take a look at some of them.

-- Acne

This is a common term used to define pores which have been blocked by sebum which has mixed with bacteria and prevented the skin from breathing and acquiring oxygen as it normally should. There are many types of acne and they all appear to be different, some of them are: Comedones (also referred to as blackheads or whiteheads), Pustules (small inflammation of the skin caused by the formation of pus), Nodules (these are solid and very painful lessions which may extend deep within the skin and are known to get visible scars), Papules (this is a small elevation of the skin caused by the reaction to acne, they do not contain pus), etc.

-- Dirt

It is a very common myth that dirt is the main cause of acne, the fact is that dirt does not trigger acne however, it does contribute to worsen the problem if it exists. Just like we use our longs to breathe, our skin also breathes through the pores and if they are blocked by either cosmetics or dirt there will be skin problems.

-- Diet

A person's diet can either contribute or eliminate skin diseases such as acne, milk and diary products contained hormones which can create an imbalance in our body and trigger acne flareups, a diet which is based on a moderate intake of carbohydrates as well as small portions of glycemic foods can help contain acne. Likewise, a diet which is high in proteins can help decrease acne related problems by as much as 50% in the long run. Always consult with your dermatologist before switching your diet in order to control your acne problem.

In addition, chocolate has been said not to be a main cause of acne according to the American medical Association

-- Causes of Acne

There are several causes for acne, they can be related to hormone imbalances during teenage years as well as in adulthood, high G.I. foods as already mentioned, bad cosmetics, the use of steroids, stress, genetic history, and abnormal accumulation of dead skin cells, certain types of medications, etc.

-- Acne Treatment

The obsessive behavior of continuously bursting whiteheads does not help when it comes to eliminate acne, on the contrary it contributes to elevate the problem.
Being exposed to the sun light by an extended period of time can worsen acne.
Products which contain benzoyl peroxide are very effective to help contain acne flareups.
Daily cleansing of the skin and exfoliation are the most basic and effective form of acne prevention and best of all the costs are relatively low.
