Understanding Acne
Common Myths
1. Diet and Acne:
- No scientific evidence links diet directly to acne.
- A study in the U.S. found chocolate consumption did not affect acne. A balanced diet is advisable, but food doesn’t directly cause acne.
2. Contagion:
- Acne is not contagious. Experiments injecting pus from one spot to another did not spread acne.
3. Dirt:
- Acne develops beneath the skin. The black in blackheads is melanin, not dirt. Over-washing might not significantly impact acne.
4. Hormones:
- Acne isn’t caused by excess hormones but by sensitivity to normal hormone levels. A study from Leeds found no significant hormone level increase in acne patients.
5. Growing Out of Acne:
- Acne usually resolves in 4-8 years, typically between ages 14 to 22. However, a small percentage over 40 still experience acne. On average, it lasts about eight years.
6. Acne vs. Spots:
- Acne is the medical term for spots. However, not everyone with occasional spots has clinical acne. About 15% with 'spots' need medical treatment.
7. Stress:
- Normal stress doesn't significantly cause acne. Only extreme stress events might exacerbate it, but treatment usually helps.
