Author: Darren W.
The world is filled with people who spread rumors, and most of
them are baseless. they are spread so there is something to talk
about even though there is no logic nor does the news make any
sense. Experts immediately find ways of putting these to rest,
especially when connected to medical conditions. For something
as simple as acne, there are numerous rumors and myths floating
about. Some of these have no basis, and not scientifically
proven and Doctors and dermatologists who are qualified try
throwing light on these issues to protect the patients'
interests.
Some of the most popular myths about acne are,-
1. Acne is caused because of stress
This statement is only partly true, stress is not a sole cause
for acne, but it does trigger acne and at times when the boil
gets aggravated it could be due to high stress. When a person is
stressed out, his body increases sebaceous glands functioning
which leads to excretion of oil. For a lady who is trying to
conceive, she might worry each day about whether she is pregnant
or would she ever get pregnant or not. This will add to stress
that builds up inside her system and is released in the form of
acne.
If , on the other hand, a women wants to put off getting
pregnant and begin using oral contraceptives, they should
consult their doctor to understand the effects and benefits of
the same before taking them. In order to prevent acne, people
are often advised to get involved in some activity that will
help control the stress levels and keep them relaxed.
2. Food items leads to acne
There are no direct connections between food and acne, and this
has been a research for quite sometime now. However, if a person
adopts eating of regulated healthy diet, their skin condition is
known to be better than others. For people who rely on fast
food, French fries, aerated drinks, greasy oily food or even eat
out regularly, the amount of oil extracted will lead to acne or
pimples frequently.
3. Cosmetics connected to cases of Acne
A small zit on our face wrecks our life and spoils our day, and
we will not rest till we have found a solution. All it does is
hampers the looks, and leads to scars. This cannot classify acne
as a cosmetic based disease. However, excessive use of cosmetics
and make up will cause acne, when the person does not know the
proper method of applying and removing the make up. They need to
understand that their skin too like them needs fresh air, and
this is possible only by washing their face before going to bed
after a party.
4. Dirt and grime leads to acne
Dirt will not directly lead to acne, but it might be the reason
if there is too much dirt or grime on the skin and it gets mixed
with the oil secreted. When the follicles on the skin cells get
blocked, it leads to acnes.
