1. Pimples - Causes and Treatments
Pimples
Pimples are a condition that happens to many people.
Though they often occur during adolescents, they can
continue well into a person's 20's or longer. Though they do
not pose any health problem if taken care of properly, many
people want to find a solution to improve their complexion.
When this is the case, finding the right treatment for
pimples is critical and it does not have to be difficult to do.
Seeking the right solution is only possible if you know what
causes the condition and what treatment options are best
for that concern.
Causes
In order to treat pimples, you will need to know what is
causing them to occur. In some cases, it will not be
possible to pinpoint a specific reason, but there are often ways to improve the condition. In most
cases, three conditions occur that lead to the development of a pimple.
1- The skin overproduces an oil called sebum. This creates a moist warm environment.
2- Shedding of dead skin cells occurs more constant and blocks pores.
3- Both of these factors contribute to a buildup of bacteria, which benefits from the moisture and
the skin cells.
Because of these three conditions, pimples form. In order to treat the condition, then, it is
important to find a way to reduce any of these three elements therefore to improve the condition of
the skin. It is possible to do this with the right treatment options.
Treatment Options
When it comes to treating pimples, many products on the market could offer help. When
considering any of them, determine if they help the underlying cause of the pimples. Here are
some things to consider.
When purchasing over the counter products to use as pimple treatment, be sure to choose

2. products designed for the specific concern (over production of oils or dead skin cells).
To reduce the redness and irritation, consider acne treatment products designed to soothe the
skin. The body's natural immune system works to try and fight off the infection the bacteria causes
and thus the skin becomes inflamed and painful.
Prescription strength medications and treatments can work well. Prescription products can help to
reduce or regulate the hormones creating the over production of oils. However, prescription
medications can have side effects. Consider other products that are over the counter first.
Understanding pimples is important. For many people, these minor infections are nothing to worry
about because the body's natural immune system will handle the inflammation. However, they can
be unsightly and in some cases they can develop into severe conditions. The best way to avoid
this is to improve the conditions in the skin to reverse the conditions that cause pimples to form in
the first place. The good news is that most people can see significant improvement in the way their
skin looks by simply putting more focus on the overall care of the skin. With the right treatment,
significant improvement can happen and pimples do not have to rule your face.
