Ways To Deal With Acne
A bad breakout can be traumatic and inconvenient at any age. Almost everyone suffers from some form of acne at some point, and the hormonal changes that occur during puberty make teenagers especially susceptible to blemishes. Acne affects everyone differently, 
from a few scattered pimples that eventually clear up on their own to inflammation that leads to painful swelling and redness.
The important thing to remember is that acne is a normal part of life. Knowing how to deal with breakouts when they happen can help to prevent scarring, as well as the social anxiety that can make acne sufferers want to stay home and hide until the skin clears up!
Acne Breakouts - What You Need to Know
Some forms of acne are worse than others. Your Cincinnati pediatricians at Mid-City Pediatrics treat young patients suffering from acne. They also offer tips on the best methods for maintaining clear skin and preventing pimples and blemishes.
Clear Skin Facts and Myths
Contrary to popular belief (and well meaning grandmothers everywhere), habits like eating chocolate or poor hygiene do not cause or make acne worse. While eating a healthy diet and staying active are important factors to maintaining overall health, acne results from hormonal changes and the over-production of sebum (oil).
When excess oil from the sebaceous glands mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria, it can block hair follicles, leading to small breakouts - and, in some cases, to the inflammation that causes more severe redness and painful swelling.
For the more severe cases, Mid-City Pediatrics recommends making an appointment for treatment. While popping a pimple might be tempting and seem like a good short term solution, the best option is to see a skin care professional to avoid scarring. Over-the-counter treatments with salicylic acid can help to calm irritation between visits to the dermatologist or pediatrician.
