– but do you know which type
of acne that you are suffering from? You may have heard
of acne rosacea for instance, but there are several
other types that you should be aware of
Given that there are , knowing about them will help you
get the treatment that is right and specific for you.
Identifying the type of acne that you have is important
so let us continue by taking a look at the various of
types, and you will be then be identify the type of
acne that you suffer from
Exploring the acne spectrum. Broadly
speaking, let's start with adult acne, which can be
caused by a diverse range of factors, such as hormonal
imbalances, pollutants, elements related to stress and
responses to medications of different kinds. These are
just a few of the.
Research has indicated that there may be a definite
link between hormonal disturbances and the eruption
of acne in women between the ages of 30 and 60 years.
Next on the list is Acne Cosmetic,
which as the name suggests, is related to the kind of
cosmetics you may have used which perhaps did not agree
with your skin. In this kind of acne, your skin and
pores have reacted adversely to various ingredients
contained in your cosmetics.
Then there is Acne Congoblata, which
is normally caused by hereditary factors. This kind
of acne causes severe scarring on the face and back.
Worse still, there isn't very much that you can do about
it.
Acne Detergens, as is evident from
the name, is caused by the irritant effect of soaps
and cleansers on the skin.
Acne Excoriee is the direct result
of acne sufferers picking at the pimples on their faces
and bodies. This is one of the worst things that anyone
suffering from acne can do.
Then there is Acne Fulminans, a rather
serious form of acne, in which the eruption is accompanied
by fever and bodyache. This kind of acne mainly affects
males and erupts suddenly. Other symptoms of this kind
of acne include a high white blood cell count, as well
as loss of appetite and deep scarring.
You may have had enough by now, but unfortunately,
there's more as this ghastly list goes on and on.
Acne Keloidalis is generally found
among people of African stock. Most of the eruption
in this kind of acne is concentrated around the neck.
Acne Mallorca is the result of too
much exposure to the sun.
Acne mechanica is caused by friction
between bare skin and different materials such as clothing,
bag straps etc.
Acne Medicametosa occurs as a side
effect of some medications. These include oral contraceptives,
as well as other drugs that contain potassium iodide,
potassium bromide and chlorine.
Acne Neonatorium is also commonly known
as baby acne. It is caused by the transfer of hormones
from mother to child, which stimulates the secretion
of sebum in the baby's skin.
Last on the list is Acne Pomade, so
called because it is brought about by the use of oils
found in hair care products. What happens here is that
this oil is transferred from the hair to the forehead,
where it ultimately irritates the skin and clogs pores,
causing acne to develop.
Generally speaking, it is a good idea to in any case, and particularly
if you are suffering from acne.
Now that you know the whole sordid tale, you will be
in a better position to judge which and take appropriate precautions.
Before you recoil in horror at the different kinds of
acne you are up against, remember that you only need
to identify the one that concerns you.
Don't forget that you can look to your doctor or
your dermatologist, perhaps both, for guidance on
how to tackle your problem. It's not as bad as it
looks, so do cheer up!
