Millions of Americans are plagued with the skin disorder acne, and all are interested in finding ways to prevent acne from affecting their skin and ways to treat current pimples, lesions, and scarring. Acne is a skin disorder that results from increased hormone levels in the body that catalyzes a production and secretion of increased sebum, or oil through the skin pores. Acne results when this sebum clogs the pore and bacteria and dead skin cells from the skins surface enter the pore. The result is red pimples and lesions on the skin~s surface that causes embarrassment to all and scarring and disfigurement to many. Because of this, everyone with acne is interested in knowing exactly what causes the lesions and pimples on their faces, backs, necks, and shoulders.

Doctors are not exactly sure what causes acne, although changes in hormones do not affect the onset of acne. For instance, individuals in puberty have increased hormones, pregnant women, and women who start or stop birth control pills. The change in hormones affects the way the pores on the face secrete sebum, which can cause acne. Also, acne may be hereditary because in many studies of individuals with acne other family members in previous generations also were plagued with the disorder. Regardless, acne is an annoyance to many.

There are many myths regarding acne and what causes it to develop as well. One myth is that eating chocolate will give you acne. This is completely untrue. Another is that greasy foods will give you acne as well; also, untrue. Researchers have found that food does not seem to affect whether individuals develop acne or not. Stress is also blamed for creating acne and blemishes; however it has no bearing on your skin either. Basically, acne is a result of increased hormones that affect the sebum gland that creates too much sebum and clogs the pore, which leads to a pimple.

There are many myths about what causes acne, none of which are true. First, eating chocolate or greasy foods will not cause you to develop acne. It might cause you to gain a few pounds, but acne no. Apparently, food does not have an impact on whether an individual develops acne or not. Stress is also said to lead to increased zits and pimples, however stress does not have an affect on acne either. The only things doctors have been able to pinpoint are increased hormones and the way the sebum reacts to this.

Dermatologists are the doctors who treat skin disorders, including acne. Most of the time dermatologists prescribe medicated creams to treat the pimples and lesions on the skin~s surface and occasionally an oral pill as well. The dermatologist will work with you on your particular case and which treatment method is best.
