Acne knows no boundaries as it can occur on the face as well as on the back (often called “bacne”), chest, shoulders, and even buttocks of people or simply wherever there are sebaceous glands. The acne that is seen on the body is called body acne.
Causes
Other than the usual acne causes – hormone imbalance and stress – body acne is also aggravated by excessive perspiration and clothes that are tight fitting on the skin. This is one of the reasons why physically active people are plagued by body acne sometimes. Men who use steroids may also contact back acne as a side effect.

Vilantae Review 2007-04-26 12:20:10 Vilantae was a not a very famous acne treatment in Europe or America until a few years ago; it has been very popular though, among the people of Asia, and the explanation is that the principles of its formula are the ones from the Chinese medicine.
The problem with Vilantae is that there aren’t many people willing to try it because the recommended dose is a number of 20 pills a day, if getting rid of acne is the goal. The majority of people decide to search for another alternative because it’s very clear that even though they would escape from acne they would most certainly get a stomach illness from all those pills that would bomb their organs during the acne treatment.
Vilantae controls the body’s overproduction of oil by supplying amounts of d-Calcium Pantothenate, which forces the enzyme Coenzyme A to break down fatty acids and eliminate excess oil. Unfortunately, our bodies need to be "trained" to absorb the necessary levels of d-Calcium Pantothenate. T

Adult Back Acne 2007-05-17 18:54:17 Almost all men and women are affected by acne at least once in their life. Acne
on face is most common but no wonder that adults are also suffering from back acne. The official statistics say that adult acne affects 25% of all adult men and 50% of all adult women. Sounds indigestible?? These are only official statement but the survey says almost all people suffer from either facial acne or back acne once upon a life-time.
Although the causes of adult back acne are unknown, it is believed that the occurrence of acne has something to do with sebum, a secretion by sebaceous glands beneath the skin. The adult back acne is occurred when the sebaceous gland is overactive and aggressive during the period of adolescence and adulthood.
The more care should be taken about the adult back acne compare to that of facial acne. This is because the back acne is unseen and not noticeable in day-to-day routine; on the other hand, facial acne troubles you every time you see yourself in the mirror! Thes Read more:Adult

.
It is quite difficult for normal eyes to judge whether it is scar or something else. In dermatology, there are so many spots that may look like scars but in real they aren’t. Some of them include macules which are also known as “pseudo-scars” and post-inflammatory pigmentation. The real acne scars which are the visible reminder of injury or hurt to the body are caused by response of the body to inflammation which is caused by sebum, dead cells bacteria. These all clog the sebaceous follicle and give place to develop the acne and later to acne scars.
The scars can be broadly classified into two categories; scar caused by loss of tissue and scar caused b Read more:types

The back acne can generally happen to age group 10-40 or even after that. There are different names for back acne like ‘bacne’ (back –acne), ‘zits’ and sometimes hickey in slang.

These glands are more active and aggressive around the puberty. The main function of these glands is to keep skin healthy and moist enough through out the life.
Sebaceous glands regularly and continuously produce and secrete sebum through the openings called as pores in the skin. Due to one or the other reason, when there is an excess amount of secretion of sebum these pores and hair follicles get blocked or clogged. This clogging makes an impedi Read more:Acne

Dermabrasion Procedure 2007-05-19 12:04:18 Dermabrasion has been used since 1905 when a German dermatologist used the technique for the treatment of post acne scars. The procedure is known to doctors as “surgical skin planning” and “non-chemical peel.” Currently, plastic surgeons use dermabrasion for the treatment of scarring related to acne, a condition known as “rhinophyma” (often referred to as the “W.C. Fields’ nose”) and for acne, rosacea, tattoos, chicken pox, scars, skin growths, multiple pigmented birthmarks, blotchy brown or liver spots, keloids and sun damaged skin.
Dermabrasion and dermaplaning help to "refinish" the skin’s top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping. The treatments soften the sharp edges of surface irregularities, giving the skin a smoother appearance.
Dermabrasion is most often used to improve the look of facial skin left scarred by accidents or previous surgery, or to smooth out fine facial wrinkles, such as thos Read more:Procedure
Chemical Peels - reducing serious acne scar 2007-05-19 09:31:58 Laser resurfacing, dermabrasion and chemical peels are three most common procedures for reduction of serious
acne scar.
Chemical peels, also known as chemical resurfacing, are techniques that employ chemical treatments to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. Chemical peels produce controlled injury to the skin which promotes growth of new skin with improved appearance. Chemical peels are used for the treatment of photoaging (from sun damage), wrinkles, scarring, acne, precancerous lesions, and discoloration (or dyschromia). Many different chemicals are used for chemical peels and include glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, “Jessners” solution, and phenol.
The different degrees of injury to the skin is produced by different chemical solutions. There are two layers of the skin; the inner layer is called the dermis and the outer layer, the epidermis. Deeper peels (e.g. phenol peels) produce injury within

Home and Over-the-Counter Acne Medications 2007-05-23 07:54:14 Acne is the most common skin disorder known today. In United States alone, nearly 60 million people are infected with acne, where 85 per cent of teenagers suffer from it.
Skin experts and practitioners recommend several natural acne treatments. Here are some that we have compiled just for you.
1. Avoid touching your face. Stop putting your hands by your face! I am often guilty of this resting my hand on the side of my head while reading. Also rubbing or bracing your chin is another common problem when thinking. Avoid rubbing, touching, or itching your skin with your hands. Your hands contain a lot of bacteria that can cause acne flare-ups. It is probably one of the most difficult things to avoid since much of the hand to face contact throughout the day we are unconscious of. Make it a habit to avoid hand contact and be conscious of it during the day to avoid bacteria.
2. Wash your face twice a day (thrice at most) with gentle and unperfumed cleanser. Avoid using soaps as they contain Read more:Counter

Control Your Chest Acne 2007-05-23 07:00:47 Acne is a medical condition caused due to the over activity of sebaceous glands, and is usually seen in youngsters aged between 14 and 25 years. Acne knows no boundaries as it can occur on the face as well as on the back (often called “bacne”), chest, shoulders, and even buttocks of people or simply wherever there are sebaceous glands.
Studies have shown that at present, approximately fifty-four percent of the female population in their adulthood are suffering from various forms of acne problems. These problems may include pimples, blackheads and epidermal cysts.
As teens, people acquire acne because of some genetic factors that may have left them prone to this condition. However, in adulthood, acne may come not only from the genetic factor, but also from the hormonal changes, stressful lifestyle, urban pollution and various preparations and medications such as birth-control pills. Since hormonal changes, like that induced by menopause, are more drastic in women, they are Read more:Acne

Acne Treatment During Pregnancy 2007-05-23 05:03:02 Acne in pregnancy is very common, whether you have previously had acne or not. It is most common in the first three months while the levels of hormones are increasing. Progesterone is more androgenic (male hormone-like) than estrogen and causes the secretions of your skin glands to increase, which can lead to more acne. After the first trimester, progesterone is produced by the placenta and not the ovaries, so acne usually clears up after this time. Here are some tips to treat acne during pregnancy:
Plan Before You Get Pregnant
If you are planning to get pregnant, it is important to discuss your acne treatments with your doctor. Many of these can harm the unborn baby. These include tetracycline antibiotics, oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane, Accutane) and topical retinoids (tretinoin, isotretinoin and adapalene). Erythromycin is the only antibiotic regarded as being safe in pregnancy, but it may not be very effective as m Read more:Acne

Photodynamic Acne Treatment 2007-05-23 04:22:42
Photodynamic therapy has been proven successful in the treatment of moderate to severe cystic acne. Photodynamic AcneTreatment
(PDT) is a process by which a photosensitizing agent (Levulan®) is applied to your skin. A Photosensitizing agent is a special solution applied to the skin that is activated by a specific wavelength of light, which “turns it on.” Levulan® has been used extensively for the treatment of a variety of different skin conditions. Levulan® is a 20% solution of Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA). ALA is a “natural” product found in all humans throughout the body.
What are PDT’s advantages?
There are several advantages of photodynamic therapy over other forms of facial rejuvenation. For example, PDT is less destructive (and therefore less painful) than many of the deeper peels and lasers. There is also minimal recovery time. It is also a proven technique for the treatment of precancerous lesions. Thus, depending on the technique
Women and acne 2007-05-27 05:30:10 Women and men are very different creatures when it comes to hormones and the entire system of psychological and physical effects deriving from it. One good example for this statement is acne. The accelerated hormonal development in boys almost always results in acne, but this is not the case for girls. Women often develop acne for the first time in their 20s or even later.
Of course, the fertility cycle and the hormonal changes it triggers throughout the body is often the cause of sporadic acne outbreaks in women, although the exact process is poorly understood at this moment. High levels of androgens are the likely cause for premenstrual acne, since it is known that androgens regulate the oil production in sebaceous glands. The more androgens around, the higher the risk of clogging pores with excess sebum.
Women have less chance of developing the kind of acne that plagues men, but they also have a harder time getting rid of it. During pregnancy, women suffering from acne must get by w Read more:Women

Exfoliation versus ClearPores 2007-05-30 13:03:09 Acne is the common enemy of almost all teenagers and of a good number of adults, too. Although acne involves physical pain only in the most severe cases, the condition has a negative psychological impact because of its high level of visibility. Acne is right there in your face, where everybody can see it. Every mirror is a reminder that your skin is working against you and that you cannot escape it. In a world obsessed with physical perfection and social interaction, acne is not a burden easily born. Early breakthroughs in the use of various substances and the large number of patients willing to try anything has been the basis of finding new methods of curing acne, whether permanently or temporarily.
One of the best ways to fight mild cases of acne is to speed up the natural exfoliation process of your skin. Exfoliation is the process by which the topmost layer of your skin, which contains many dead cells, is removed by mechanical or chemical means. Clearing away dead skin helps preven Read more:versus
How to Properly Wash Your Face 2007-05-30 12:44:47 Face washing is often the core of beautiful face. Before you apply all those cosmetics or medications for your acne, experts always tell you to wash your face.
Cleaning is essential in maintaining beautiful and healthy skin. And since we always want to put our “best face forward,” here are several tips that we compiled on how to properly wash your face.
Remove every trace of make-up/cosmetic on your face. Use cotton ball and moisturizing cream to avoid damaging your skin.
Use lukewarm water. Avoid using too hot and too cold water that can dry out your skin. This will also open the pores for deeper cleansing.
Avoid strong or harsh soaps/ cleansers. Strong soaps can dry your skin and strip off natural lipids. Choose soap that are mild if you prefer soap, or you can always choose cleansers that are soap- free, non- comedogenic, and mild like Cetaphil, Burt Bee’s or Neutrogena.
Massage face by gently rotating upwards your middle ring and pinky fingers. Remember that ha
Antioxidants and Skin Care 2007-05-30 11:46:19 Antioxidant is a popular term in all health care articles. We always encounter such a term whenever we read or browse health articles in the papers, books or magazines. Moreover, almost all advertisements and commercials of beauty and health products always mention antioxidants.
The question to ask ourselves to be able to understand the sudden hype about antioxidants is to know what it is and what can it do to our body.
Antioxidants
are chemicals that prevent the oxidation of other chemicals. In biological systems, the normal processes of oxidation produce highly reactive free radicals that can readily react with and damage other molecules which may continue to damage even the body’s own cells. Antioxidants play the housekeeper’s role, "mopping up" free radicals before they get a chance to do harm in your body.
Although all the hype about antioxidants slowing down the signs of aging and promoting skin rejuvenation do not have a solid scientific basis, most skin ex Read more:Skin Care
Get Radiant Skin with a Healthy Diet 2007-05-30 11:41:28 The skin is the body’s largest organ and it covers you from head to toe. Just like the other organs, your skin also needs proper care and nourishment to look and feel healthy and avoid premature aging. There are a lot of products in the market that all promise to make your skin softer, smoother and more radiant. These expensive products may come in various forms, such as lotions and creams, pills and tablets. People with skin problems usually spend a fortune just to buy these products, but they do not get their money’s worth.
The cheapest and most effective way to have healthier skin is not through the products mentioned in the previous paragraph, but by changing your diet. Not all people know that the food you eat is reflected on your skin. If you eat fatty food, the tendency is that you will have oily and pimply skin. If you learn to eat nutritious food, your skin will have a glowing and radiant look.

Getting Rid Of Dark Spots on Your Skin 2007-05-30 11:19:30 People want smooth, clear and even complexion. Naturally, nobody wants their skin to be synonymous to a Dalmatian…unless they are trying to set a trend on that, to which I very much doubt if it would work.
The sad truth is, even with regular cleansing, some people still develop dark spots, also called hyper- pigmentation by dermatologists. It is characterized by pockets of discolored skin that remain even after pimples or skin bumps have disappeared. Hyper-pigmentation can be caused by many factors that can be external or internal. Among internal factors, we have certain illness such as Edison’s disease and some hepatic problems. If someone is taking too much iron, for instance, it can cause darker areas on the skin. Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause also have a role to play. The deficit of certain vitamins and minerals such as calcium and vitamins A, E and B also can cause hyper-pigmentation.
The common culprit is the increase in melanin that occurs after ski
The lasting effects of teenage acne 2007-05-30 06:40:53 The teen years are a trying time for any person. Although the worries and cares of adulthood are still far into the future, the teen is not exactly a happy and relaxed person. The carelessness and ignorance of childhood makes room for rebellion and questions about one’s values and place in the world. Looking for their own road through life teens feel insecure and, often enough, misunderstood. Unfortunately, if the search for a place under the sun is not enough, teenage
rs also have to deal with other problems, such as acne. This unsightly condition is the bane of many teenagers because of the effects it has at psychological level.
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
