Acne
Acne is a common
skin condition in teenagers and young adults.
It makes spots
appear on the skin, usually on the face, back and chest. There are six
main types of spots caused by Acne: blackheads, whiteheads, papules, nodules,
large cysts and horrible pustules. My friend at school has acne, but its
just mild. About 80% of people aged 11 to -30 will be affected by it.
Acne is most
common in girls aged 14-17 and boys aged 16-19. It is caused when tiny
holes in the skin get blocked. Smoking, certain medications and some
cosmetic products may also cause Acne. However it is less common now for
cosmetic products to trigger Acne as they are now tested so they don’t cause
spots.
Teen acne is
caused when the levels of a hormone, called testosterone, go up. This happens
in puberty. Treatment for Acne depends on how bad it is. It can take
months of treatment before the symptoms get better. If you only have a
couple of blackheads or whiteheads then you can use cream that contains benzoyl
peroxide.
