Acne Overview
Acne is a red, irritating skin rash that is almost universal among
individuals going through puberty in industrialized societies. It can,
however, occur at all ages. Typical acne affects the skin of the face,
chest, and back and rarely the neck and upper arms of teenagers and
young adults.
Because acne typically occurs during a time of dramatic physical and
psychological changes associated with the development of one's body
image, it can exacerbate social withdrawal and even depression. Left
untreated, severe acne can lead to disfiguring scarring which can be
difficult to treat.
- Several myths exist about acne.
- Acne is not a result of uncleanliness or infrequent washing. In other words, acne does not result from too much dirt on the skin or in the pores. Too much scrubbing may actually make acne worse.
- Acne is not caused by eating "fast" foods, chocolate or high-fat foods.
