What’s the difference between having acne and just having typical teenage skin?
October 5th, 2011
When teenagers get pimples, they are actually getting acne on their skin. Teenage skin is more prone to acne, since it secretes more oil than the skin of other age groups. As puberty progresses and a teenager grows older, that skin oil lessens to a normal level, and acne frequencies decrease.
Some adults do have acne problems, depending on their body chemistry and hormonal issues. If someone’s skin is naturally oily, the chances of acne are much greater, depending on how often they cleanse their skin. A pimple forms when one of the skin pores becomes clogged with dirt and oil. This causes the body to inflame the site as a natural defensive mechanism to prevent further bacterial invasion of the pore. This inflammation is a pimple when it is surrounding a skin pore.
Pimples should never be popped or squeezed. The best treatment for a pimple is to basically keep the skin clean and try to allow it to heal naturally.

What is the best way to minimize scarring?
July 31st, 2011
Scarring on any part of your body can not only be unsightly, it also lasts for life. It may have been an unavoidable injury, or it might even be caused from a pimple or acne. Whatever the case may be, there are a few simple guidelines you can follow that will minimize scarring. The first tip is to keep the area clean. You want to make sure you absorb an excess blood which can extend the scar. Next you want to make sure you compress the wound or the opening. You want the gap where the wound is to be as small as possible so there is less likely a chance of a bigger scar forming. For pimples, you want to leave the pimple alone for as long as possible before popping it. Opening a pimple prematurely will cause bleeding and leave a scar at the site of the wound.
How do I get rid of zits and pimples on my face with household products?
May 2nd, 2011
The best way to get rid of zits and pimples is to use plain warm water and soap to wash your face daily. The skin blemishes should clear up on their own within two weeks. If you really are having a problematic zit, you can try putting toothpaste on it overnight to help dry it out faster. This is a remedy which is recommended by some people.
Zits and pimples are basically inflammation sites on the skin which arise when dirt and oil clog a pore. This can trigger a small infection, and the pore inflames as a protective response against further bacterial intrusion. You should never try to pop a pimple and penetrate the pore’s protective shield, since this can make the infection worse, and the pore could inflame even more. Popped pimples also result in acne scars, which can remain on the skin for life, depending on the severity of the pimple which was popped.
