Having clear skin undeniably helps boost one’s self-esteem. When you look good, you are also more likely to feel good -and also more confident in going about everyday life.
Unfortunately, the road to clear, smooth skin isn’t always, well, a smooth ride.
Acne, for example, is one of the most common skin conditions that affect both men and women from their teens until well into adulthood. Left unaddressed, these breakouts can lead to irritation, scars, and low self-esteem.
What Causes Acne?
Treating acne can be tricky since there can be various reasons why breakouts happen. The most common causes are:
- Excess oil production
- Clogged pores from the build-up of dead skin cells, dirt, makeup, etc.
- Bacteria
- Inflammation
Aside from these, hormonal changes brought about by puberty or pregnancy also trigger acne. Moreover, certain medications (e.g., drugs containing testosterone, lithium, or corticosteroids) are also known to cause acne breakouts.
A poor diet may also have a negative effect on your skin. According to studies, carbohydrate-rich food like bread, fries, and bagels may worsen acne flare-ups.
And of course, stress. While stress doesn’t cause acne per se, if you already have an existing breakout, stress can make it worse.
Treating Different Forms of Acne
Acne can come in different forms depending on the severity of your condition. You may experience one or a combination of the following:
- Whiteheads
- Blackheads
- Small red, tender bumps
- Pimples
- Large, solid, painful lumps
- Painful, pus-filled lumps
Normally, acne clears on its own. In some instances, applying topical treatments or oral medication also helps.
If these remedies don’t work though, it’s time to seek medical help and check other possible solutions for treating acne like laser acne treatment.
