DIRTY HANDS CAUSE
ACNE?
Last week, I was watching a variety
show that was talking about a teenager who developed acne. The show was
illustrating how successfully their treatments have "cure" this teenager
acne breakout. It was brought to my attention when the "skin consultant" in
the show talked about how his dirty hands brought along bacteria that causes
his acne.
Acne is a condition that must
encompasses 3 criteria before it could set in. First, excessive sebum
secretion. Second, dead cells piling up. Third, proliferation of P. Acne
bacteria (not any other bacteria that you could contact via hands or
dirt).
These 3 conditions must be present
during most teenagers' puberty stage before you could see acne breakout. P.
Acne bacteria typically reside on our face even when you don't have any acne
breakout. Any bacteria that you carry via your hands during any games or
dirt are different. These bacteria do not contribute to any worsening of
your acne condition. Your acne condition would worsen are probably due to
the additional sebum and dead cells congestion that you brought along from
your dirty hands.
Typically for treating acne, therapists
or doctors will tackle the condition via 2 ways. First exfoliation-based
treatments. Second "killing" P. Acne bacteria on your face. Controlling
sebum secretion is quite difficult since it is strongly influenced by the
hormone in your body. For those who have very bad acne condition, you may
have to resort to oral treatments such as anti-biotic, hormone or accutane
pill. Which level of treatments to go for, in my opinion, depend on your
objective and skin conditions.
So, do your dirty hands' bacteria
causes acne on your face? The answer is NO!
