Separating Fact From Fiction About Acne

By Edwin Edson


There are a lot of different ways that people treat acne, and they have to, because a lot of people have the condition. There are quite a few myths and misconceptions about acne, and people often have the wrong idea about what causes it. To help you gain a better understanding of acne, we'll be discussing some of the common myths that are often spread about it.

Other than this be as gentle as possible with infected areas. Do not infect your zits and squeeze them. Wash them gently when you wash your face.

You can't catch acne from another person who has it. You can't get it from kissing someone who has it or even sharing their soap. There isn't a contagious element to acne at all. Acne is not a germ or virus that can spread from one person to another. It's the coexistence of bacteria and hormones within the body that cause acne. There are certain factors, such as diet and stress that even experts debate when it comes to whether or not they can contribute to acne. However, the experts all agree that it isn't contagious.

Should you worry about getting acne if you eat fried and junk foods? When you ask this question, there will be many answers that will back up both sides. While there are some doctors and researchers that will want to debate the subject, there is some proof that junk food is bad for acne. There is also some studies that show that some people suffer from acne when they eat or drink dairy products. This is on a case by case basis, because people have different reactions to food. But, everyone will agree that junk food should not be eaten in large amounts. If you eat a lot of chocolate and you have acne, you may want to experiment and stop eating chocolate for a while and see if this helps. Until more research clarifies this, you can only go by your own experience.

Quite often, nothing you try as remedies work, even over-the-counter medications, and that is when you try the dermatologist as a last resort. And if your doctor gives you prescription medication, the same rule should be followed-stick to the recommended dosage. Acne sufferers are different ages. It's best to learn as much as you can about this condition so you can treat it more effectively. Keep in mind that you must not make assumptions when it comes to acne. Keep in mind that eliminating acne will not be easy. So just get used to it and do everything to get rid of it.
