Acne, The Bane Of Teenagers

Acne, The Bane Of Teenagers

By Chris Snow

One of the biggest and probably the only curse of teen age are the bouts of acne that appear on the youthful skin of adolescents. Acne is a prolonged skin problem that induces inflammation in the oil-producing sebaceous glands. Acne can strike on any one or all areas of the face, neck, back or chest. It can surface anytime between the age of ten to thirteen and plague a teenager for the next five to ten years. Acne is not gender specific and can annoy both young men and women alike. The causes, however, may be different in both cases. Boys have a higher tendency to contract severe acne which can be long lasting. The young women on the other hand, are prone to acne caused by certain hormones which are linked to the monthly cycle of menstruation.



In both cases, however, it causes torment for the young one, whether they are nubile nymphets or humongous hunks. It makes them conscious of the red blob on their faces and it lowers confidence in a world which lays so much stress on the physical appearance of a person. Many teenagers have been subjected to ridicule because of zits that adorn their face or neck. And most of them have had harrowing experiences with the various acne treatments for teenagers that are suggested to them by friends and well-wishers. If you are one of them, read on and find out the various options available for acne treatments for teenagers.



The various acne treatments for teenagers vary depending on the method of application. The OTC or Over-the-Counter products do not need a prescription and are mainly astringent lotions, acne cleansers or pimple ointments. These work by removing the white heads or black heads that cause pimples. This form of acne treatment for teenagers helps by shedding the skin. Such products should be used for a period of six to eight weeks before deciding whether they can work for your type of acne problem.



The oral or antibiotic acne treatments for teenagers can be obtained only if prescribed by a medical practitioner. The topical antibiotics which need to be applied on the skin are particularly effective and help fight the bacteria that affect the pores in the skin. The oral antibiotics, however, are acne treatments that can have an impact on the entire body and can induce several side effects. Both these forms of acne treatment for teenagers are highly recommended.



Vitamin A derivatives assist in solving the acne outbreak by preventing skin cells from bunching. This acne treatment for teenagers needs to be applied once a day for it to show positive results. They do have some side effects such as dryness of the skin, redness, irritation and even sometimes birth defects.



Acne can be the bane of youth and if anyone can provide a permanent solution for this problem, the teens will surely hold him in high esteem. In reality though, each of these possible acne treatments for teenagers needs to be evaluated and chosen based on the one that best suits your individual needs.
