Everyone that has been alive long enough to go through his or her teenage years, has reached a time in their life that is known as puberty. And that’s a time when skin care is especially important
Puberty, which affects everyone differently, is a time in life where the largest hormone changes and sexual growth occur. Common characterstics that are defined during this time are the development of pubic hair, voice changes, breast development in females, etc.
A common ‘side effect’ of puberty is the increased appearance of pimples. Pimples are a type of lesion on the surface of the skin that are the result of by swelled or otherwise blocked pores. Most often a result of acne, they can also be caused by other unrelated conditions as mundane as a simple bug bite. In all cases, a ‘pimple’ is just a accumulation of puss located under the skin. This puss is a concentration of dead white blood cells (and other matter) that come from from the body’s attempt to fight off this infection – whether it is acne, a disease or a bug bite.
No-one ‘wants’ to have pimples, mainly because of the negative stigma that most people have about them. This is largely due to the direct affect that they have on the way someone looks and many people have their self-worth based on their looks. Even though they may not be, pimples have the affect of making one appear ‘dirty’.
It isn’t hard to eliminate or reduce a pimple, all you have to do is squeeze on the area from both sides. This pressure on the area will cause the small section of the skin where the pimple is located to rupture, allowing the pimple to loose it’s internal puss outwards. This is the most frequently used method, however, it is not always recommended by dermatologists. Studies have shown that the action of squeezing a pimple you can actually force some of the puss and bacteria to be pushed deeper into the skin. This will, in turn, cause more infection to occur. Often times the person’s hands are dirty and this can also cause more or extended infection.
Proper treatment includes keeping the areas as clean as possible and keeping any known irritants away from the skin. In many cases, if the source of the infection is removed, the pimples will clear up themselves. While figuring out what the ‘irritation’ is during many cases of acne may be hard, it is worth trying. Often there are simple solutions that have been found to be very effective.
