The Risk of Depression in Teens Suffering From Acne.

There is a great amount of skin clearing products that will actually help get rid of bumps, blackheads, and whiteheads. Today eighty percent of teens struggle with acne and over fifty percent of woman who are over the age of 25.

It’s about time we have many options to help with skin problems. It is not an exaggerating statement to say that teens suffering from acne can become suicidal. It can cause low self esteem, shame and embarrassment which can lead to social isolation. Dealing with acne actually doubles the risk of depression and teen girls are twice as likely to suffer from depression than boys.

If you have or know a teen who is suffering from acne take it very seriously. More than half of high school students see acne as being a sign of poor hygiene when it is actually a medical condition. It can be caused by puberty or even too much saturated fats.

Acne can in fact be beaten. Try starting out with benzoyl peroxide. It will help kill bacteria and unclog those pores. It can actually work better than prescription antibiotics at clearing up blemishes. Try this step for at least a few weeks. If this is not doing the job try complimenting it with a product that contains salicylic, glycolic or lactic acid. This can be purchased from any local drugstore, will calm inflammation and defeat the dead skin cells. Give the pair another few weeks. During this treatment keep the teen from squeezing and picking at the pimples. This can lead to an infection, cause scarring, and make the situation worse.

If these treatments are followed correctly and not working a dermatologist should be called. The doctor may try things such as prescription drugs, laser treatments or chemical peels. Meanwhile trying a healthier diet could also be beneficial. Try eating lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Eating healthy can clear up skin and help prevent acne.

If a teen you know or love is experiencing acne and mood changes pay close attention. If depression is suspected call the doctor. Also teaching stress reducing techniques could be helpful. Taking a walk or meditation are great ways to reduce stress and learning how to downsize stress when you are young could be a life long benefit.
