Technorati Tags: Acne, Scars

When I was in high school I suffered from something that is a normal, natural part of growing up. I had severe acne. I was teased all through school and some of my fellow students gave me the unforgettable and highly disgusting nickname “zitsface”. When I think about my high school days it makes me really feel bad. I had acne. Most of the kids had acne. but I had acute acne. I remember how desperately alone I felt and how I tried everything I could get my hands on to get rid of my boils, zits and pimples.

A common misconception is acne. is the result of poor hygiene. I believed that and for a time and created my own cure. I scrubbed and used alcohol and harsh soaps and cleansing agents. I even tried abrasive cleansers like Clorox® but I soon found out that what I was doing only made it worse. I showered several times a day and washed my face as often as I could get to a sink but all it did was make my fingers wrinkle. I now know that poor hygiene causing acne. is a myth and that washing my face continually only made my acne. spread, still I continued to scrub thinking if I just scrubbed a little more it would eventually work.

My mother insisted that acne. came from eating sweets especially chocolates, my favorite candy, but that was another fallacy. I stopped eating candy completely but it made no difference at all. Since I was a skinny kid and didn’t need to lose weight the lack of sweets in my diet did absolutely nothing for me.

I heard about an acne. remedy came from a friend’s grandmother. It was a mixture of herbs and yogurt that you smear on your face. It was messy and embarrassing and I felt stupid but I was so tired of being called zitsface that I would have tried anything. The herbs like turmeric that I mixed with the yogurt made my face turn yellow which made my acne.look even worse than it already looked. My piers saw the discoloration and my nickname zitsface was reinforced.

My sister’s answer to my acne problems involved her girlie lotions and potions. These seemed to work for her minor breakouts but it did nothing for me. That didn’t stop her from chiding me about using her creams and potions and thick night mask pastes.

A friend told me to buy some over the counter cream and apply it liberally and then seal it with ice bags so that it caked solid on my face. It was probably an inferior acne remedy or it could have just been the numbing coldness of the ice, but the combination of the cream and the ice made my acne. worse than it had ever been.

My sister continued to insist that if I just listened to her and used her creams and lotions I would be clear faced in no time, after all it had worked for her. For some the best acne remedy for acne. is time.

Many acne sufferers clear up when they reach maturity. The lucky ones get through it without scars or any evidence of a once colorful nickname like zitsface but I was not one of the lucky ones.

I suffered with acne. well into my 20s and even into my 30s until I found a program that made some sense. If you suffer from acne. like I did you may find this program interesting. Check it out below.

Acne vulgaris is the result of excessive production of  bacteria that normally play an important role in protecting our skin from other micro-organisms and creating sebum for the lubrication of the surface of our skin.

Those bacteria become a problem when  excessive sebum production, triggered by hormonal upswings during puberty or toxins from food we eat cause them to multiply rapidly. As their flow outside is blocked and sebum accumulates within the sebum canals swelling and inflammation is a result.

The main use of salicylic acid is to reduce the symptoms of mild acne. Acne is caused by excess oil production and skin cells shedding in hair follicles. This blocks the follicle and provides a place for bacteria to grow, resulting in inflammation and a pimple. This over-the-counter treatment works by slowing down the rate at which the skin cells shed, and breaks down the material that creates the spot.

You can combine salicylic acid with a variety of other substances to increase its’ acne fighting properties; one good example is retinol. However, you should not combine this acid with sulfur, benzoyl peroxide or resorcinol as this will be too irritating for the skin. It will stimulate oil production, making your condition worse.

You will often find salicylic acid used in chemical peels used to reduce the appearance of mild acne scarring, and to generally purify the skin. The concentration of this acid will have an impact on the effectiveness of the peel. Up to 20% can be used, but this may cause extensive skin peeling for around three days, and may be too strong to be used in weekly peels.

Salicylic acid can be used as a remedy for various other skin conditions. It is often an active ingredient in anti-dandruff shampoos, and is used to treat skin disorders such as psoriasis. It also has collagen boosting properties that make it ideal for slowing the development of wrinkles.

Applying this topical treatment in gel form to warts and verrucas has two benefits. Firstly it softens the layers of skin that make up the wart, enabling removal with a pumice stone. Secondly it irritates the wart or verucca, which stimulates the immune system to fight harder to get rid of it.

So what are the negative effects of salicylic acid? The first you may have heard about – it can cause birth defects when taken by pregnant women. The truth is that women would need to take large doses of this acid orally for their baby to be in any danger. Even so, it is advisable for pregnant women to avoid using it, as it does penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream to some degree. Another potential side effect of salicylic acid is that it can cause hyper-pigmentation, when used in high concentrations on darker skin.

Overall it is a fairly safe and cheap way to treat mild skin complaints. As a rule you should always start with a low concentration of the acid, and build up if it is not having the desired effect. You should also ensure that it only comes into contact with affected skin and not healthy skin when used in higher concentrations.
