Myths
There are common myths about how to reduce and treat acne. They effect people of all ages,including children.

What causes acne.
Oil in your skin is the cause,not dirt on your face or the effected area. Over washing and too much cleansing can actually worsen the condition,according to experts. So excessive washing is not the answer to the problem. It is important to cleanse  twice a day, more than that will start too dry out the skin.

Diet - Another myth.
Another myth is foods that will worsen the condition such as Fatty Foods. Examples are chocolate and fast foods. Some people will react and have breakouts, yet others may not react or trigger breakouts.  Should you break out after eating a food type, try to avoid it in the future. Though overall Skin health can be effected by overall diet.

Stress.
Stress can actually make an acne condition worse in some people, yet not others.Although it is not really clear why this should occur,it may be possible that stress affects the hormonal balance in the body,so trggering an out break of acne.

Dermatologist and acne treatments.
The condition may clear up on its own, yet most people falsely assume acne is age related and afflicts teenagers. Anyone,women in thier 40's or babies can experience any of the various conditions,such as cystic ,rosacea ,murad or inversa. Should your present treatment or remedy not help the condition, the best expert advice of a dermatologist may be required.
