If we have teenagers at home or can remember when we were teenagers, we know that everything seems tobe happening around those years between childhood and adulthood. One medical issue that related speciftcalIv to that age group is the problem of acne Acne usuall) begins in the 1-2 years prior to pubcrt). but is at its worse during adolescence It is caused by a hormonal stimulation of the oil glands along with the over-growth of germs on the skin. The pores get clogged with germs and oil. then inflammation occurs, leading to acne blimps. There arc tw o types ofbumps. open comcdocs (blackheads), andcloscdcomedocs (whiteheads). Although blackheads can be unsightly, they arc easily managed and inflammation rarely occurs. The Whitehead is the lesion responsible for the problems seen with acne The pore opening is too small to release its contents: the oil. protein and germs form a small abscess (pus pocket) under the skin after inflammation sets in These abscesses may become bigand may lead to scarring if not treated appropriately Stressful events and hormonal changes increase oil production on the face and may lead to flare ups of acne The primary sites of acne arc the fact, chest, back and shoulders It seems to be worse in the winter and better in the summer: Most ' acne bumps heal without difficulty. but more severe forms of acne can; scar Scars look like sharply.' punched-out pits; the severity of! the scarring depends on the depth! and intensity of the inflammation! involved. J The treatment of acne must be; individualized to the patient. For! most mild cases, topical Benzoyl! Peroxide (like Oxy-10) or Retin-A J works well. For moderate cases, a ; combination of these two. along ; with a topical antibiotic solution ! works well. For more severe cases. ! a physician may prescribe an J antibiotic to take by mouth to help ; control the acne One thing worth mentioning is ! that there arc no medical studies to \ indicate that your diet plays a ; significant role in acne. For many < years, chocolates, sodas and sweets ! were thought to provoke acne. This J has not panned out in the medical | studies. For those few patients who < attesl to flare ups of their acne ! followingcerlainfoods.it is best to \ eliminate them until treatment is ; complete. We must remember as parents ! that acne can have a detrimental ! psychological effect on a teenager. ; lowering their self-esteem and j confidence This should prompt us ' to make sure they arc washing. ! their face properly and getting | medical attention if needed.
