What Causes a Pimple?
Posted by itsaboutcash on October 31, 2007
The answer to “What causes a pimple?” can be answered in a single phrase which is hormonal imbalance. The rest of this article will give you the more complete answer.
A hormonal imbalance can excite the sebaceous glands which are located in your pores. These glands produce sticky skin oil called sebum. The problems may start when and if dead skin cells, dirt, grime or some other foreign object gets trapped in the pore by the sebum. These foreign objects will be food for bacteria. As the bacteria grows and reproduces, your body’s immune system kicks in trying to expel this infection.
The result of this activity may be a pimple that is red around the edges and it may or may not have a white head on it.
Because hormones create this over abundance of skin oil, we cannot prevent pimples BUT we can minimize the number with proper nutrition, hydration and good hygiene.
Sometimes these aren’t enough and you still experience pimple outbreaks where you’ll need to get rid of a pimple.
Because pimple outbreaks do happen, it is a good idea to have home remedies at hand and access to all natural remedies when the home remedy isn’t enough. There are many over-the-counter and prescription options but WHY would you want to introduce a chemical product that may or may not make the problem worse?
Many keep home remedies on hand and have access to an all natural acne treatment called acnezine to get rid of zits once they know what causes a pimple.
