Acne Treatments

I personally suffered from acne for about 10 years and it made me want to hide away from people as I felt they would constantly look at it and judge me. Now I realise that no matter how bad you think it is, people generally don't see it or don't think it's that bad! This site is my attempt at helping some people overcome their fears of acne and finding a few new ways to try and treat their acne so they can improve their quality of life.

Acne (Acne Vulgaris) affects almost everyone at some point during their lives and can have a massive effect on a person's confidence especially those who suffer from it at a younger age. The causes of Acne are much better understood now than what they used to. Acne is most commonly caused by the P.Acne bacterium which is naturally occurring in the skin. The bacteria live off oil and sebum naturally produced by the skin as well as dead skin cells. Sometimes the oil, sebum and dead skin cells can accumulate in hair follicles (commonly on the face, neck and back) which lead to an increase in bacteria which in turn leads to a spot, black head or white head.
