Just How Bad Can it Get?

Teenagers are a mess of hormones and still busy learning how to cope socially. It would be wonderful if we could say that they all come out of it in one piece. But, too often, their lives are made difficult by the way they interact with their peers. Any young person is vulnerable if something marks him or her out as different. Hopefully, that distinguishing characteristic will be short-lived. The group will quickly forget and move on to the next topic of interest. But acne can come and stay as an all too visible feature. If the mass reaction is unkind, this can seriously damage the victim’s self-esteem. This type of situation can rapidly pass through routine bullying and become intensely personal. As parents, this can create several quite different headaches. The first is keeping your child safe. It can sometimes be difficult to decide whether your child is being affected. Some seem to to be almost completely oblivious to the bullying. Others fall apart when the glances they dread come their way. They have seen it happen to others and their anticipation and fear magnifies the mild reality into a crisis. Emotional support is part of the job-description of being a parent. But how far should you go on the medical front? The options are to: • ignore the medical side and wait for the hormones to settle down; • use over-the-counter (OTC) products; • refer to your local healthcare provider; or • consult a dermatologist.

They are really useful because they release an oily substance to keep your skin supple and, more importantly, waterproof. Just think how embarrassing it would be if you became waterlogged in the tub. Which emergency service would you call? If there is too much androgen (those are the male hormones) in your body, the glands can produce too much oil. This confirms your deepest suspicion that all your problems are caused by men. This builds up and blocks the pores. Pimples are the result. If bacteria infect the pores, you get the usual swelling and sometimes painful redness. So here we go with the stark fact. Women do produce androgens but, you will be pleased to know, only in small quantities unless something goes wrong. The first sign of this is facial hair. But this is relatively rare and material for a different article. (more…)
