Products on the market that claim to make acne go away may do the trick but they contain many harsh ingredients, such as alcohol, that strip the oils of your skin. Some of these acne treatments and cleansers may cause the skin to become dry in areas that were treated. You may have solved the acne symptom where it was occurring, but now you have another symptom to resolve and that would be tight and flaky skin. You may then decide to buy another product that will fix or cure the symptoms of tight and flaky skin. As a result, you may develop greasy skin because the moisturizer was too greasy. Then you have to fix another symptom of shiny and greasy skin. It is a vicious cycle and in the end you may end up buying more products and wasting your hard earned money. You want to use an acne treatment that has herbal extracts and essentials oils with antiseptic properties to help nourish your skin so you can be blemish-free.

There are many myths as to the causes and effects of acne. The most popularly held is that it can be caused by not washing or by having dirty skin. Many health professionals disagree with this as a primary cause. Although having clean skin is helpful and maybe even more so when you have acne, it is not generally believed that washing, or not washing frequently enough has any great effect on your likelihood of suffering from acne.
Another of the popular beliefs on the causes and effects of acne is that eating badly and consuming too much fat can encourage it. Although not thought to be a direct cause good food will benefit your skin and eating well can make a positive contribution to your health and well being.
Acne is mainly brought about by the sebaceous glands. Most of the causes and effects of acne are related to these glands being too active. They produce an oily secretion for the skin, but their normal levels of activity can be affected by the hormone testosterone. Although it is normally though of as a male hormone testosterone is in fact present in women as well.
It can cause an excess of production by the sebaceous glands and this, in turn, can lead to the pores of the skin becoming blocked and possibly infected. This can lead, in some people, to acne and all its distressing symptoms. Spots on the face are the most common and obvious signs that someone is suffering from acne.
If left untreated acne can also result in the inflammation of the spots and it is possible for cysts to form under the skin. If they burst they can also cause infection in the area around the cyst. This can lead to the scars that some suffers of acne are prone to.
But although it can be a very distressing condition there it no need to panic. There are many treatments available to help you combat the causes and effects of acne and the best person to consult is your local doctor or skin care specialist. There are many doctors that specialize in this area and your local physician should be able to help you with a recommendation. With the right treatment the symptoms can be reduced greatly and the possibility of scarring lessened. So seek the right advice and you may be on the way to improving your acne soon.

1) Acne:
Acne is one of the most common skin disorders in the world. It generally occurs when dead skin cells and oil block the pores of the skin. In its common form, “acne vulgaris” (or pimples), this clogging results in the appearance of red and swollen blemishes in the skin. These inflammations occur mainly on the face, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. There are other forms of acne that aren’t that mild. These can appear as - blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, papules or cysts.
Blackheads- These are caused by the hardening of oils in the skin pores due to the excess oil produced by sebaceous glands (the skin’s oil producing glands). The tip of the clogged pores, that is exposed to the air, turns black (due to oxidation) resulting in the formation of blackheads.
Whiteheads- Whiteheads are white raised spots that show up around the cheekbone, nose, or where the skin is fine. The formation of whiteheads is very similar to that of blackheads except that these occur where skin is delicate and the clogged grease does not get exposed to air. Therefore, there is no darkening of the tips (due to oxidation).
Pustules, Papules- Pustules are small pus-filled inflammations on the skin surface. These commonly occur on face, shoulder and the back. Papules are deeper inflammatory lesions that are raised and solid. In comparison to pustules, they take longer to heal and are known to result in scarring.
Cysts- Cysts are thicker, yellow pus-like inflammations. Quite often, papular or nodular acne results in the formation of a cyst. These inflammations may occur one at a time, or they maybe more than one over the common acne areas - face, neck, back, chest and shoulders.
There are treatments available for each form of acne. But, since the severity of the condition varies by individual, you are advised to consult a dermatologist to determine the best course of action.
The remaining 4 skin disorders Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea, and Skin Cancer will be discussed in a separate article.
