Severe Acne - Causes and Treatments

Teenage acne is a normal occurrence due to the increase in hormones adolescents undergo during this stage of life. It can also continue into adulthood or appear later in life. Severe acne often includes cystic acne, where the cysts show a more prominent reaction than an ordinary zit. Cysts are red and infected, and subsequently, filled with pus as part of the body's germ fighting response.

Acne and its manifestations can be socially traumatizing. Most acne sufferers would do anything to conceal the appearance of acne. Severe acne means the degree of distress intensifies and can have harmful results on one's self-esteem.

The Role of Hormones in the Manifestation of Severe Acne

Due to puberty, the sex hormones (androgens) come out full fledge. One of the effects of these androgens, specifically testosterone, is increased activity by the sebaceous glands in making the oil sebum. Men have more testosterone than women. For this reason, during puberty, teenage men produce more sebum than women.

An imbalance in hormones (whether it is because of genes, stress, puberty or even disorders) can drastically increase the quantity of sebum being secreted. More sebum is the reason for acne. Why? The sheer amount of sebum being secreted from the sebaceous glands through the follicle to ultimately reach the surface of the skin damages the cells of the sebum ducts. The injury to these sensitive cells and the inflammatory response is what we see as acne lesions.

Severe Acne Treatment

Now that the common myths for acne causes have been dispelled, you can discover a better treatment among the many acne creams and systems. You'll need something more targeted than a scrubbing or antibacterial facial cleanser. Although bacteria and keratin buildup add to acne, solutions focusing on these factors miss the most important cause.

Find an acne treatment cream that focuses on decreasing sebaceous gland activity. You can scrub or disinfect all you want but that will not prevent the inflammation caused from within.

Alternative Methods to Improve Success

Getting severe acne under control involves more than just a topical prescription or ingestion of antibiotics. Special psychologists trained in dealing with the mind-body connection in acne are available to help you deal with severe acne and your self-image. This segment has developed as the skin is easily affected by emotions and nervous system changes, resulting in furthering acne problems. By talking through any issues you might have in connection to having severe acne, you can put an end to stress related breakouts.

Furthermore, working out can help you manage severe acne breakouts. By increasing blood circulation, more oxygen is brought to the skin. In addition, regular exercise helps improve one's mood and decrease stress levels, increasing positivity and bettering one's self-concept.

Sleep also plays an important role in emotional health and acne. Sleep loss causes additional and unnecessary stress to the body, worsening acne. Employ relaxation techniques to keep fully rested.

These suggestions can help you manage stress. Stress negatively affects the immune and endocrine systems, worsening the manifestation of acne. Keep stress at bay and succeed in becoming acne free.
