Dispelling The Myths About Acne
One thing about acne, everyone seems to have an opinion about what causes it. Unfortunately, that’s usually all they are, opinions. The good news is that we have made substantial progress over the years in separating fact from fiction.
Scientists and researchers have done studies about acne, what causes it, what helps to prevent it, and what you can do to treat it. This research has gone a long way to dispelling the myths many have long held on the subject of acne; the top five of which I cover below.
Myth One: Acne is caused when you don’t stay clean, or wash your face. If you believe this myth, and wash your skin hard and often; it can actually make your acne worse. In fact, Acne is not caused by dirt or surface skin oils.
Myth Two: Acne is caused by what you eat. There is no scientific proof. Scientists have researched this and found no connection between what you eat and acne. Pizza, french fries, chocolate, soda, fried foods, or any other food; none of them cause acne or affect your skin in any way. Although eating healthy foods is good for your health and your figure, it has little or no bearing on whether or not you develop acne.
Myth Three: Acne is caused by stress. Scientists have determined that the ordinary day-to-day stress is not a factor. Although there are some medications that can attribute to acne as a side effect of the medication.
Myth Four: Acne is a cosmetic disease. Acne is a skin disease that has an effect on men and women. In severe cases the lesions can leave scars. Scientists do not place it in the cosmetic disease category; but in the skin disease category.
Myth Five: You just have to let acne run its course. You’ll grow out of it — it’s simply a fact of life. The fact is, most cases of acne can be cleared up. If you ignore it and do nothing; then yes, it does take longer to clear up. Or, in some cases the acne lesions become severe and that can lead to scarring.
If over the counter medications haven’t worked, going to a physician or dermatologist is recommended. Although scientists haven’t found a cure for acne, or pinpointed why some people get acne and others don’t; with all the medications available today, there is no reason why people should have to suffer with acne, or the scarring it can cause, as much as in days gone by.
