Acne is one of the most popular health problems faced by adolescent teenagers. Most teenagers are quite conscious about their looks. Acne is very embarrassing and very hard to get rid of. Since acne appears on the face itself, it becomes a big concern. The face and upper neck are the most normally affected, but the chest, back and shoulders may have acne as well.

The following points show how the outbreak begins:-

(i) In the beginning stages, there are small pimples or zits that appear on the face. These pimples are observed more in the pores on the face, because they are the external openings of the sebaceous glands. Apart from that, the pimples can also appear on the shoulders, arms, back and chest.

(ii) On the face, the pimples are more observed on the cheeks, forehead, nose and the chin. Pimples can be painless, or they can be itchy with pain.

(iii) The pimples may appear as small pinheads, which grow with time. Pus may develop in them and the pimples become hard. If pus develops, then the pimples get a yellow color on the surface.

(iv) Within a few days, the pimples erupt and dry off. This leaves behind a pockmark, which causes imperfection of the face.

(v) During an outburst of acne, the face becomes oily. The person may be depressed due to the eruptions on the face. There is also increased sweating on the face, making the whole face look more undesirable.

You need to be taking the subsequent precautions:-

(i) Observe the dietary regulations given above.

(ii) A daily bath is essential. Special awareness should be paid to the face. Wash the face with water and mild soap at least twice a day and once after returning home from outside. After each washing, rub the body with a towel to remove the dead cells from the surface of the body.

(iii) Try to expose the skin to fresh air and sunlight often. This will help in opening the pores on the skin and lead to better circulation.

(iv) Perform in constructive activities like exercise and yoga in the youth. This will prevent thoughts of sex entering into the mind.
