What Is Responsible For Acne?
Good question, actually.
Up to 85 percent of all adolescents and young adults suffer from Acne Vulgaris, or common Acne in layman’s terms. Ergo, you are not alone – Acne is a very common condition not just in Western civilization but all over the world for that matter.
If you are wondering what exactly causes Acne, then your guess is as good as mine, but there are some factors that may lead to a person undergoing this awkward condition. Many people believe, for instance, that Acne is hereditary, so it might be safe to wager that you will eventually get Acne (if you haven’t yet) if this is something your relatives had way back in the day.
Most notably, there is a link to a change in hormonal activity, such as menstrual cycles and puberty. Not too long ago, the cause of Acne was largely traced to the copious production of sebum. When the skin’s sebaceous glands are performing in overdrive, this results in a large secretion of fats, which include an oily substance known as sebum.
However, it appears as though the narrowing of follicle channel, where the hair is rooted in the skin, is also a major factor causing common Acne. But this is not the only factor that could lead to a person suffering from such condition, as Stress, allergies to bacteria, anabolic steroids and a large build-up of dead skin cells could also play a role.
While many people believe that Acne is related to the foods we eat, such as fatty, guilty pleasures like pizza, French fries and potato chips, it has yet to be officially confirmed. One would probably have to experiment by eating different foods until he or she is able to positively assess whether his/her Acne is adversely affected or not.
Refined sugar, not cholesterol, may have a more visible effect on Acne than other food groups. This is because Acne is much rarer in countries and cultures that are virtually untouched by our indulgent Western culture – hey, admit it, it is indulgent! These are cultures and countries whose general diets have a low glycernic level. However, if the reduction of high glycernic foods, such has soft drinks, sweets and white bread, has a significant effect on alleviating Acne disorders has yet to be proved. Keeping a low consumption of these kinds of foods will influence your general health for the better.
One of the most notorious Acne myths is that it is influenced by our hygiene, or lack thereof. Since dirt is not one of the causes of Acne, you will not necessarily get it if you are just about as clean as Pigpen from the Peanuts comics. If the humor and irony is lost on you, the reader for some reason, then we can just say Acne is the result of blockages in your hair channel that cannot be cleaned out in a rudimentary way. In fact, anything more than a gentle cleansing can cause new lesions by damaging or over drying skin.
