Acne Myths, Finally Some Facts
By George ForganSmith, Thu Dec 8th

Acne is a common skin condition, which can be extremely mild orquite disfiguring. Having had a rather bad case as a youngadolescent, I know the kind of socially embarrassingconsequences it can have for the victim but I also remember itbeing sore and painful, filling my life with discomfort. Itlingered a long time until I went to a dermatologist who used atype of freezing process, mechanically removing excessive pussfrom the lesions in relatively non-painful way. There were alsotopical notions. The result was total success, without scarring.

Until I went to a dermatologist, though, there was little or nogain in getting rid of this foul condition. I, like otherchildren, were subject to disturbing concepts of its origins.Although this was a long time ago, these myths have stayedaround- often causing grave delays in seeking treatment.

One of the myths is that is caused by everyday dirt andsurface oil on the skin and that the solution is frequent andvigorous washing of the skin. Vigorous washing of the face tocure is a myth. The fact is- the problems that have causedchronic are deeper, beneath the skin's surface and thatonly a mild washing of the face is in order, often accompaniedwith specific solutions prescribed for treating the by adermatologist. Vigorous washing of the face, particularly withharsh soaps, can lead to a further irritation of the tissue.There is, in part, a bacteriological condition that contributesto and it is below the surface.

Another idea is that is caused by stress. Scientificresearch seems to indicate that

stress alone probably does notlead to acne, but it may be aggravated by stress. But,unfortunately, can result from certain prescriptions thatare used to treat stress. So, if you are on certain drugsrelated to stress, you should certain talk to yourdermatologist, the appropriate type of physician for dealingwith this problem. According to Doctor James Fulton, a pioneerin the treatment of acne, lithium, a substance sometimes used inprofound psychological disorders, can aggravate an acnecondition.

Another myth that can lead to profoundly unpleasant consequencesis that one should let run its course, "grow out of it." AsI myself know too well, can linger for years and get worseand worse. At the end of my experience, my was verydisfiguring and covered my whole face and part of my neck. Itwas hard to keep my hands off this uncomfortable, scaly, itchyand sore condition. I was certainly a candidate for scarring. Ihad a kind of skin emergency and I am glad that my parents weresmart enough and lucky enough to get me to the right place atthe right time.

Can be the consequence of poor nutrition? I think the jurymay be out on this one, but, for myself, I came to believe thatmy excessive eating of chocolate and a lot of sugar productswere contributing factors to my acne. But, in my case, I did notsee any correlation before my medical treatment and it wasclearly medical intervention that helped me. There are certainlymany naturopathically oriented practitioners and some medicaldoctors that share this view, though. Not everything in medicineis a hundred percent clear cut and every victim shouldcertainly research all the alternatives.
