ACNE (Pimple) Problems

Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged. Sebum (oil) prevents skin from drying, and dead cells plug the pores and cause whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples. The outbreaks occur on the face and sometimes appear on the back, chest, and shoulders. Acne causes emotional distress and often scar the skin. Many times, the appearance of acne on the skin are indicative of underlying ailments that need medical attention. Other times it can be an inflammatory disorder of the skin. Acne causes inflammation, redness, swelling, and pain. Hormonal changes that occur in boys and girls during adolescence cause sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum which causes a rise in the number of acnes.

Symptoms

A person can experience acne anywhere on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. Signs vary in intensity.

• Whiteheads are closed plugged pores,
• Blackheads open plugged pores
• Papules small, red tender bumps
• Pimples are papules with pus at the tips
• Nodules are largely solid, painful bumps
• Cystic lesions painful, pus-filled lumps under the skin.

Treatment

Modern science treatment for acne includes prescribing medicines, topical medications, or different therapies that clear the skin. But also increase the risk of scarring. Neurotherapy treatment works best for acne as the pressure application techniques help restore and maintain the hormonal balance, thus controlling the secretion of glands and helping regulate the intensity of acne.
