Without Acne Treatment Boston May Experience Scarring

By Christopher Powell


Pimples are the bane of the lives of many people, particularly teenagers and young women. Many dread the very idea of leaving home with a face that resembles a battlefield. Many sufferers will go to great lengths to hide their pimples and they will spend large amounts in various treatments. Unfortunately, pimples will affect most people but with proper acne treatment Boston patients will soon be able to face the world again.

Most people have misconceptions about what it is that causes pimples. They therefore base their precautions against pimples on erroneous data. Pimples are not caused by stress. They are not caused by dirt and they are not caused by sweat either. It is interesting to note that even the consumption of sugar, carbonated drinks and food that is generally considered to be unhealthy do not cause pimples.

Pimples is caused by a variety of factors. Some people are exposed to chemicals that cause their hair follicles to become clogged. Cosmetics can also produce the same result, especially if the face is not cleaned thoroughly when make up is removed. There are some strong indications that the disease is hereditary. Experts advise that it is best to use only cosmetics that are water based.

There are countless ointments, pills and other treatment methods for dealing with pimples. Many sufferers spend large amounts on remedies without any positive results. The best solution is to see a dermatologist. He will be able to prescribe medication or treatment that has been proven clinically. For women, for example, the use of oral contraceptives has been an extremely efficient treatment. Antibiotics also often work well and the use of Retinoids will help prevent the follicles from clogging up.

Other, more invasive therapies are also becoming very popular. Their are various types of light therapies that make use of blue light that are said to be effective. Critics say that these therapies are not clinically proven. In some cases dermatologists will use special tools to remove white and black head but this may cause scarring. Chemical peels are commonly applied, even though they can cause redness and irritation.

For most people pimples are nothing but a temporary irritation. Many others, however, suffer from scarring. Laser resurfacing can help to make the scars less noticeable and soft tissue fillers will achieve the same results. Chemical peels can remove the outer layer of skin, thereby removing superficial scars and minimize the severity of deeper scars. In very severe cases dermabrasion may be the only solution.

There is no precaution or remedy that can provide absolute assurance that pimples will not develop. A number of things can however be done to make the appearance of pimples much less likely. Using water based cosmetics is one of the simplest ways to ensure that the follicles do not become blocked. The face should also be cleaned with a mild cleaner at least twice a day.

Nobody wants to walk around with pimples. The unfortunate truth is that most people will have to suffer this condition from time to time. Luckily, dermatologists can do much to speed up recovery or to hide the appearance of pimples.
