Pimple Facts

Pimples infection is a non life threatening skin condition affecting our face,upper neck and sometimes chest and back too. It is estimated that around 20% of teenagers suffer from pimples(acne)and pimple scars during adolescence. People are obsessed with personal looks and go to any length to seek pimple remedy as looks are everything in this modern world. Pimple infection may affect any age group but generally affects adolescents.

All women have the urge to have beautiful looks. A face full of pimples is the dread of every woman especially teenagers as they are very particular about how they look. Of late even men have started to take interest in their appearance though they are supposed to be different. Nobody can deny the fact that a beautiful,clear face creates a favorable first impression that opens many doors of opportunities. Having a clear and beautiful face has been the pursuit of women and for a long time associated with women.

Outside the family,teenagers’ lives are limited to friends and are very much sensitive to criticism especially about appearances. Pimples infection hurts them the most due to ugly pores that almost disfigure the face. They are hurt when friends make fun of pimple scarred face and friends can be very cruel at times. This in turn affects them psychologically and they suffer from anxiety and depression.

It doesn’t take a lot to foster a negative self image in a teenager. Most of them are at least somewhat insecure about their outward appearance because of various real or imaginary blemishes. But a real condition that causes true discomfort and mars a young face is something else altogether. The fragile self image and self respect of teenagers are hard pressed to cope with the pressure exerted by the opinions of others and the comparisons with various role-models that teenagers find for themselves. In extreme cases, the negative self image turns into self hatred and the disfiguring condition is seen as a cruel instrument of self punishment for failing to rise up to some standard or other.

We have oil secreting glands called sebaceous glands under our hair follicles which produce a oily substance called sebum that is meant to keep the skin healthy. When these glands produce more oil than necessary,the skin pores get clogged and get infected by bacteria and the follicles are inflamed causing pimples.

The production of sebum is found to be directly proportional to the production of testosterone and hormonal fluctuations in women during pregnancy,menstrual cycle and menopause. It is found that those who have a family history of pimples are more prone to it. Pimple infection is a non-life threatening skin condition but leaves tell tale signs behind in the form of scars which may take time to disappear.

Pimples can occur in mild form causing blackheads and whiteheads to appear. In severe case of pimple infection,pus filled cysts are formed around the inflamed follicles which may cause pain. The main concern is that it may leave behind ugly scars which might cause embarrassment about appearance and may affect the self confidence of the patient.
