Acne is a skin condition that causes embarrassment to many people. Young and old can suffer from acne. For some, it causes a lifelong suffering and shyness caused by the unsightly pimples and often the resulting permanent scars. The scars are not only skin deep, but reach into the person's very soul. Perhaps the most painful aspect of acne is the taunting from schoolmates. Here is some information about acne:
Acne is a disorder that causes outbreaks of skin lesions commonly called pimples. It is caused by the skin’s oil glands making too much sebum, an oily substance, which leads to plugged pores. It also can be caused by the rapid production of a bacteria P. acnes. Acne FAQ

What causes Pimples? What causes Blackheads?
Acne lesions occur mostly on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. It is
the most common skin disease. Although acne is not a serious health threat,
severe acne can lead to disfiguring and permanent scarring.
You can help prevent acne flare-ups and scars by taking good care of your skin:
Clean your skin gently with a mild soap or cleanser twice a day, once in the
morning and once at night. You should also gently clean the skin after heavy
exercise. Avoid strong soaps and rough scrub pads. Harsh scrubbing of the skin
may make acne worse. Wash your entire face from under the jaw to the hairline
and rinse thoroughly. Remove make-up gently with a mild soap and water. Ask your
doctor before using an astringent.
Wash your hair on a regular basis. If your hair is oily, you may want to wash it
more often.
Do not squeeze or pick at acne lesions. This can cause acne scars.
Avoid getting sunburned. Many medicines used to treat acne can make you more
prone to sunburn. Many people think that the sun helps acne, because the redness
from sunburn may make acne lesions less visible. But, too much sun can also
increase your risk of skin cancer and early aging of the skin. When you’re going
to be outside, use sunscreen of at least SPF 15. Also, try to stay in the shade
as much as you can.
Choose make-up and hair care products that are “non-comedogenic” or “non-acnegenic.”
These products have been made in a way that they don’t cause acne. You may also
want to use products that are oil-free.
Avoid things that rub the skin as much as you can, such as backpacks and sports
equipment.
Talk with your doctor about what treatment methods can help your acne. Take your
medicines as prescribed. Be sure to tell your doctor if you think medicines you
take for other health problems make your acne worse.
Use only oil-free and water-based makeup. Don’t use greasy or oil-based creams,
lotions, or makeup.
