Improve Your Social Life - Get Rid of Your Pimples

Posted by acnetips

Everyone that has graced our earth long enough to go through his or her teenage years, has reached a stage in their life that is called puberty. Puberty, which affects everyone differently, is a time in life where the largest hormonal and sexual changes occur. Common characterstics that are defined during this time are the development of pubic hair, voice changes, breast development in females, etc.

A common ’side effect’ during puberty is the more frequent appearance of pimples. Pimples are a commonly occuring lesion on the surface of the skin that are the result of by swollen or otherwise blocked pores. Most often a result of acne, they can also be symptomatic of other unrelated conditions such as smallpox or even some bug bites. A ‘pimple’ is just a accumulation of puss located under the skin. It is a concentration of dead white blood cells (and other matter) that results from the body’s own natural battle to fight off this irratation - whether it is acne, a disease or a bug bite.

Noone that I have met likes pimples, mainly because of the negative stigma that most people have about them. This is largely due to the direct affect that pimples have on one’s appearance and many people derive their sense of worth based on the way they look. Even though they may not be, pimples have the affect of making one appear ‘dirty’.

It isn’t hard to eliminate or reduce a pimple, all it takes is to squeeze on the area from both sides. This pressure on the area will cause the small section of the skin where the pimple is located to rupture, allowing the pimple to loose it’s internal puss outwards. This is the most frequently used method, however, it is usually discouraged by skin care authorities. Studies have shown that the action of squeezing a pimple you can actually force some of the puss and bacteria to be pushed deeper into the skin. This will, in turn, cause further irritation to develop. Often times the person’s hands are dirty and this will also be the cause of prolonged infection.

Proper treatment includes keeping the areas as clean as possible and keeping any known irritants away from the skin. In many cases, if the source of the irritation is removed, the pimples will clear up themselves. While figuring out what the ‘irritation’ is during many cases of acne is difficult, it is worth trying. Often there are simple solutions that have produced very good results.
