Acne medication and pregnency and how to get rid of acne scars on your back

Thus you will have people mistakenly attributing their acne to cosmetics, or food, or hormonal changes, or certain drugs, but the truth is that these are merely triggers and not the causes of acne. As Dr Waite says, "People experience hormonal changes at many stages, such as puberty, menstrual periods, pregnancy, or even in times of intense anxiety. Similarly, people who perspire excessively may attribute their acne to sweating, but these do not create acne, they just help bring it out."
Acne scars. The FDA has just approved the wrinkle smoothing Fraxel laser for those unsightly "pits". In clinical trials, acne scars were significantly reduced within three months for 92% of subjects. The Fraxel penetrates deep into the skin's middle layer, where it breaks up scar tissue and stimulates collagen production to fill in the indentations. And because only about 15% of the skin is treated at one time, you can go to work the next day with your face only a little red. The cost starts at about $500 a session, with four to six sessions required.
Fact: A blackhead is actually a collection of dead skin cells and sebum that has created a worm-like plug inside the pore. The top portion of this impaction is not covered by a layer of dead skin cells. It is actually exposed to air. The black top of a blackhead is misunderstood as dirt. Exposure to air changes the oil impaction in to a dark brown or black color. The process is much similar to a slice apple exposed to air that turns brown. Blackheads are a result of an excess of oil within the follicle.
