What is Acne

  • There is a reason its called ‘common acne’. Nearly everyone suffers from ‘pimple’ at some point in life.

  • It starts when greasy secretions from the skins sebaceous glands plug the tiny openings for hair follicles.

  • Although acne remains largely a cause of adolescence about 20% of all cases occur in adults.

  • It commonly starts during puberty between ages 10 – 13 & tends to worsen in people with oily skin.

All about acne – Diet & Exercise

There are conflicting advices about the role of diet in managing or worsening acne

Compelling evidence shows that high glycemic diet may exacerbates acne. Dairy ingestion is weakly associated. But all said the relationship remains controversial.

What we should known is that a high Gl INDEX has some part to play. But the way I would put this, however, is not to cut out sugar completely but thoughtfully. Processed & refined foods, like bread, biscuits have Gl which can increase blood sugar levels. This may trigger insulin that makes acne worse choose complex carbs like whole wheat bread, cereals , barley all of which have high fibre – the more fibre – slowly digested – slow rise in blood sugar levels

 The link with dairy is weak but definitely has a role in selective group of people.

Exercise: It is not only important for our overall wellbeing but also helps in healthy skin. It not only burns up calories helping in reducing weight but also helps in reduced insulin output. It helps in reducing stress. However sweat can irritate skin so it’s a good idea to wash your face after a workout

Subcision 

Subcision is a minor surgical procedure used for treating depressed cutaneous scars and wrinkles. It is also called subcutaneous incisional surgery.

Subcision is performed using a special hypodermic needle inserted through a puncture in the skin surface. The sharp edge of the needle is used to break fibrotic strands that are tethering the scar to the underlying tissue.

The release of the fibrotic strands and new collagen deposition caused by wound healing leads to cosmetic improvement of the scar. Subcision can be safely performed in the outpatient setting and is usually well tolerated.
