When I turned 13 years old my Life changed, like a good many people I have been the victim of acne vulgarism (what an appropriate name I just called it bad acne) the medical term for pimples. It has made me aggravated, made me cry, and made me angry, lonely and really hated myself. Millions of people each year are afflicted by it, and it makes recluses out of a good many teenagers. It doesn't just affect teenagers I still get acne and I in my forties and I have some friends that just started getting acne as adults.
Pimples are caused when your pores get clogged and the fatty material made by the sebaceous gland accumulates, and a "bump" appears under the skin-or perhaps a whitehead or a blackhead (a come done). Not only does it sound bad it is bad. Blackheads are not caused by dirt but by the discoloring effect of air on the fatty material in the clogged pore. Acne has a little to do with diet, I change my eating habits and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and I still had zits. If this substance becomes infected a pimple results.
As anyone can tell you the worst thing to do is to push or "pop" a pimple. I used to do this and believe me it seems to work but its not worth it cause you can scar your face bad. Because this will not only cause more, but can result in life long scars. No matter what you see on TV or a friend tells you, don't pop a pimple. I know, I made the mistake and I'm still regretting it. But there is hope, I finally found something that works.
But not too long ago I discovered a way to lessen the intensity of my outbreaks, although it stops short of completely curing them. But it keeps them on the down low and you really start to feel good about yourself.
Changing you eating habits can help fighting zits. I totally avoid grain products, most especially bread, corn, cereal, and other pastries, (also potatoes) and to still get all my vitamins I add wheat germ and brewer's yeast to yogurt or milk and fruit. Brewer's yeast does take time to acquire a taste to however, and can be found at most if not all Health food stores. Also cutting down on fatty foods helps a lot
Acne not a joke the above methods may appeal to you or it may not. Use your own judgment and see what is right for you. Once you get rid of Bad Acne you life will change, I know my has, I have more confidence and I sad high.
