Acne is a skin disorder that creates patches and pimples, most notably on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms. Acne comes in many forms, including whiteheads, zits, pimples, cysts, and nodules. It is the most well-known skin disorder. It commonly occurs around puberty, when the sebaceous glands become active, but it can occur at any age. It is not dangerous, although it can cause skin scars. Acne risk factors include heredity, menstrual cycle, worry and stress, hot and humid environments, using oil-based cosmetics, and squeezing pimples.

Important Things That You Need To Know If You Have Acne

• Picking or squeezing your spots typically aggravates them and may result in scarring.
• Regardless of how your acne affects you, it is critical to take action to control it as soon as it arises. This lessens humiliation and helps to avoid lasting scars. Your Dermatologist will provide you advice.
• Expect to utilize your therapies for at least two months before seeing significant results. Make sure you understand how to utilize them appropriately so that you get the most out of them.
• Makeup may boost your confidence. Use oil-free or water-based products. Choose products that are 'non-comedogenic' (should not create blackheads or whiteheads) or 'non-acnegenic' (should not cause acne).
• Remove make-up and wash your skin with a light soap or a gentle cleanser and water, or an oil-free soap replacement. Scrubbing too hard might irritate the skin and aggravate acne. Remember that blackheads are not caused by improper cleaning.
• A healthy diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables can enhance both your skin and your general health.
