For years, modern medicine has diligently sought out a specific cause
for acne. Many people who are lucky enough to avoid serious acne
problems mistakenly think of acne as only a "skin disorder". However,
anyone who has suffered through even a single acne outbreak can tell
you that the emotional toll it burdens you with is as aspect of this
disorder that simply can't be ignored.
It's good to know that modern medicine is moving ever closer to
figuring out the cause of this chronic skin problem. Once determined,
more effective treatments can also be developed in order to help
people quickly end the pain and embarrassment that often accompany
acne. And with studies estimating that nearly 90% of people suffer
from acne, it's good to know that at least some progress is being made
in analyzing this wide-spread skin problem.
Most researches think that there's not just a single cause for acne
but that it is triggered by a range of related conditions. These
factors include excess oils and bacteria on the skin, hormonal
factors, genetics and other factors that contribute, either in whole
or in part, to the development of acne....
