Getting To The Bottom Of Acne Causes |
|
It would be safe to say that all of us, at one point or
the other in our lives, have experienced the pain and embarrassment of
acne. While it is a very common occurrence, especially in the teenage
years, acne causes a great deal of fear, embarrassment and even
depression among people. Most people are not sure what causes acne in
the first place. Even medical professionals have only a handful or
reasons to attribute to acne causes. But all of us suffer from it and
the pharmaceutical industry profits a great deal from the numerous
lotions and potions that consumers hungrily consume to deal with acne.
While there could be several acne causes, the most commonly
attributed one is that of poor hygiene. This is however, not an acne
cause and should be treated as the myth that it is in reality. Actual
acne causes could range from hormonal imbalances in the teenage body to
the blocking up of a hair duct. Other common acne causes include the
infection f the sebaceous gland, excessive oil secretion and even
combination of the above. In some rare cases, acne causes could be
attributed to poor or ineffectual diet. But whatever the acne causes, it
is better to visit a dermatologist to find out the exact source of the
acne and to find out the best way to eradicate it.
Most people, myself included, choose to ponder over the acne causes in the comfort
and safety of their homes before they do the obvious thing. They go down
to the nearest pharmacy to procure one of the several acne treatment
products available. And to be honest, the shelves are full of them!
American and global pharmaceuticals are well aware of the nearly
obsessive compulsion of all human beings to get rig of acne. And they
have left no stone unturned to provide us with as many remedies and near
remedies as possible. But turning to these products without determining
the acne causes could result in more harm than good.
After all, what is
the benefit in spending a fortune in acne treatments if you don’t know
what causes acne in the first place. As discussed, the acne causes are
many. And are different from one individual to another. So what works
for a friend or an acquaintance need not work for you. Unless one is
able to consult a dermatologist to ascertain the acne causes, there is
no sure way of finding the solution. And the best thing is that when the
dermatologist is able to identify what the acne causes are, there might
just be a miracle prescription drug that will cure you of all acne just
like that. Imagine the money and the heartache saved in the process!
