Acne is a nagging problem especially for women, with its surprising appearance and the lasting scars that it causes. Howsoever you abhor it, acne is an undeniable part of most teenagers' lives and a fair amount of effort must be put behind battling these ugly little things and checking their reappearance.

When the sebum secreted by skin glands reacts with bacteria, it causes an infection, which is referred to as acne. When this infection is being healed, a protein named collagen is produced under the skin. When the collagen is in surplus, there is a protrusion and when its generation is below normal then it results in tiny craters on the skin. Acne scars develop in both these situations. Teenagers are usually the worst affected from acne as the hormone levels shoot up during puberty resulting in more sebum discharge.

Among the common reasons of acne infection are application of beauty products that are not compatible with the kind of skin, taking contraceptive medication, intake of medicinal drugs, and hereditary factors. Various other reasons such as anxiety, improper food habits, and even pollution can result in acne. But as against what a majority of people believe, researchers have not found any relation between spicy food and acne.

Although a number of creams and herbal products are sold in the market to cure acne, it is advisable to seek medical help if the condition worsens or continues recurring. It is also better not to pierce the acne with sharp- edged objects or to put any kind of pressure on it as it makes the infection get worse.

Many sufferers now resort to many cosmetic treatments to make the scars disappear and regain a glowing skin. Surgery and laser treatment are two of the most effective methods of permanently getting rid of acne scars, but many other new cures are also available these days. You must talk to a good dermatologist or skin surgeon who can assess the skin type you possess and suggest a suitable treatment.
