Acne And Diet There Are Other Issues As Well

By: Allison Thompson

Although a number of people think acne and diet habits are closely linked this is not the sole cause for having this skin condition. In this article we take a look at some other factors which can contribute to a person suffering from this particular skin condition and how it can be treated.

Today what actually causes a person to suffer from acne is unknown. But many doctors believe there are a number of different factors, which contribute to a person suffering from this skin condition. Below we take a look at just what some of the factors are.

1. Overactive Sebaceous Glands - These glands are located deep in a person's skin and produce an oil known as sebum. However overtime hormonal changes take place in a person's body and this will often result in these glands becoming enlarged and producing large amounts of oil. Because of this the pores of the skin find it very difficult to cope with these additional amounts of oil and so become blocked and the spots associated with acne begin to appear.

2. Skins Pores Become Blocked - As you will see from above one of the reasons that the pores on a person's skin becomes blocked is that the serbaceous glands are producing to much oil. The problem is further exacerbated by the oil not actually being able to flow freely and ends up becoming trapped before it reaches the skins surface. The more oil that becomes trapped under the skins surface will push that in front of it up and zits and pimples then begin to appear on the skins surface.

3. Normal Skin Bacteria Activity - Even though acne does not actually develop because of a bacterial infection, it can actually play a major role in making the condition much worse. Normally our skin has a bacterium (known as Propionibacterium Acnes) on it, which helps to prevent harmful bacteria from getting into our skin. But when the pores of the skin become blocked this bacteria then produces chemicals, which cause the sebum oil our bodies produce to alter. This results in your skin becoming irritated and inflamed and which results in acne being present.

4. Inflammation Of The Skin - All the above causes can contribute quite easily to a person's skin becoming inflamed. But another reason why a person is suffering from acne is that their immune system is trying to deal with a foreign substance, which could either be bacteria or the excess oil that the body has produced.

Yes the wrong kind of diet can certainly contribute to a person's acne becoming far more severe than it is currently. However as mentioned above there are other factors which will need to be taken into consideration as well. By making changes to your diet you can help to greatly reduce the condition but it will not cure it altogether. To do this you will need to try one of the many different treatments that are now available.

There are plenty of solutions and creams available such as Zenmed, Proactiv and Murad. But if you want to try something completely different and which requires you to make changes to your diet it may be worth your while considering reading a book called "Acne Free in 3 Days".

As previously mentioned when it comes to this particular skin problem it is not just your diet, which may be causing your condition, rather there are several other factors to consider as well. However, when it comes to acne and diet issues certainly avoiding certain foods, such as those high in fats may well help to reduce the condition rather than curing it altogether.
