Teenager’s biggest contention is Acne. Already they have the pressure in high school, and now they have sores and pimples erupting everywhere on their faces and quickly spreading to the neck and back areas as well.

Numerous myths have been exposed about acne, but still people are ignorant about them.

Myth number one: Greasy and fatty foods cause acne. This is completely untrue, but one used the most. Chocolate has also been named a villain, also not true. You can have a breakout if you’re allergic to these, but why would you be eating them then?

The second most commonly used myth is that if you don’t have good facial hygiene it causes acne. Acne is not cause by a lack of facial hygiene. It is advisable to have good cleansing habits, but acne is cause by bacteria under the skin, not on top. The best way to treat acne is to start on the inside.

Third, there is a myth that states that stress causes acne. Only on rare occasions has this ever been proven to be true. Extreme stress has been shown to cause outbreaks in many people already prone to acne outbreaks, but not in the average person. Normal, everyday stresses that we all experience-whether we are teenagers or not-do not contribute to acne outbreaks.

Fourth, another myth states that acne is not a serious problem and does not need to be treated. While this may appear to be true on the surface, acne is more than just a cosmetic issue. Acne left untreated can leave serious scarring on one’s face, affecting the way they look for the rest of their life.

If you think about a celebrity that has acne scars, you will probably remember that it was the first thing you noticed when you first saw them, and also the first thing you remember when you recall their face. Yes, acne can cause self-esteem and confidence issues in a big way.

Lastly, the myth that you cannot do anything about acne. Children suffering from acne would go untreated, because for years their parents were under the impression that it was a part of puberty and that they had to go through it. Little did they know that it could have long term effects. Luckily today, there are many acne products that are being marketed that have proved to work effectively.
