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.
