I got stressed and now I have pimples all over... How can I treat them effectively?

Acne is a small, reddish, swollen bump that appears on the face. It occurs when hair follicles or oil glands become blocked and can also appear on the back or arms. Acne can develop not only during adolescence but also in adulthood.

 

Acne can also occur in people in their 50s. Based on information from American portals such as Yahoo!, we explored the reasons for acne, the role of certain foods and stress in causing acne, and effective ways to treat it during the summer.

 

 

What causes acne? According to the Mayo Clinic in the United States, the most common cause is excessive oil production that clogs pores along with dead skin cells. This creates an ideal environment for bacteria that cause acne to thrive, leading to inflammation and infection.

 

As adolescents transition into adulthood, excessive androgen levels and hormonal fluctuations are explained by experts to increase sebum secretion, leading to clogged hair follicles and inflammation. Standard treatments for mild to moderate acne include benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics that kill acne-causing bacteria, as well as topical prescriptions like retinoids and salicylic acid (usually in the form of cleansers) that remove oil and dead skin cells.

 

Skin care is also important.

Experts say, "Washing your face twice a day, in the morning and at night, can significantly reduce the risk of occurrence," and "exposure to air pollution and high humidity can lead to inflammatory acne."

 

 

How long does it take for acne to appear?=On average, it takes about 2 to 6 weeks for acne to surface on the skin. Experts say, "Each person's skin reacts differently to rashes, oil, and dust."

 

☆ Does stress worsen acne?

When you experience stress, acne is not just a coincidence. Several studies suggest that stress can trigger acne.

 

The body releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and inflammatory cytokines to cope with stress factors. CRH promotes the production of oily substances called sebum, which can clog pores and cause acne.

 

Does applying toothpaste to acne make it go away?

Toothpaste is a popular home remedy. Experts say, "Toothpaste contains ingredients like calcium carbonate that dry out the skin and shrink pimples," but also warn that "silica, the abrasive component in toothpaste, can worsen inflammation and make the face appear more red."

 

Experts recommend wearing masks containing sulfur or benzoyl peroxide when going to bed. These masks help absorb excess oil and dry out keratin that clogs pores.

 

Is adult acne more difficult to treat?

The American Academy of Dermatology reports that adult acne is increasing, with 15% of adult women experiencing acne. Experts say, "Some adult patients say they never had acne in their teens," and "these patients may have hormonal changes as the cause."

 

For example, some women entering menopause may develop acne due to decreased estrogen levels and increased testosterone levels. Adults with cystic acne or hormonal acne can be prescribed medications that block the hormones responsible for acne.

 

☆Does tanning help eliminate acne?

When the sunlight is strong and the weather is dry, it can help with inflammatory health conditions. Experts say, "Tanning is not recommended because it negatively affects melanoma and skin cancer."

 

There is a red light therapy for acne performed at dermatology clinics as an alternative to tanning. This treatment helps repair the tissues beneath the skin. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect that reduces redness.

 

☆Does chocolate and pizza cause acne?

The relationship between acne and eating habits has been a subject of debate for years. Some people can eat fried foods and chocolates without any issues, while others develop acne after consuming certain foods.

 

Consuming foods high in sugar (especially white sugar), processed foods, or greasy foods can increase the risk of inflammatory acne. Experts say, "There is some evidence that dairy products like milk and cheese can affect acne."

Because of the hot weather and stress, which is the root of all illnesses, I developed pimples on my face. When I touched them, they turned red and inflammation occurred, so I used a mask pack to soothe my skin and got acne patches for my child.
