Although often treated as a trivial matter that everyone experiences, it is important to note that if ignored; the sites of acne can become infected, possibly creating scars or pockmarks that can become permanent - especially on the face or back. If you get acne - and the above figures indicate that most probably you - you do not want it to become an ongoing problem or leave unsightly scars.
Acne is actually a skin condition called seborrhea or dermatitis seborrhea. Buttons occur when the sebaceous glands of the skin, become contaminated with toxic, fat consisting of a combination of dirt, dead skin cells, excess sebum oil, acid waste, bacteria and other toxic materials.
Normally, the sebaceous glands release oil through the pores on the surface of the skin where it works to keep your skin moist and lubricated and protects the environment. If these pores become clogged, it means that the mixture of toxic oil cannot be deleted from your skin, causing swelling or buds that swell as more toxic oil is produced. Finally, the pressure inside the pores accumulates to the point where the walls burst under the skin and the oil is discharged. If infected, the button will also attract white blood cells that actually kill bacteria. If these white blood cells also digest the collagen around the rough edges of the pores broke then it can lead to permanent scarring.
To avoid acne scars, then the best advice is to keep the skin clean and fat to reduce the risk of clogged pores, in the first place. If you get the buttons - and you - keep them clean and dry. Do not give them a chance of becoming infected. Refrain from touching the areas of acne on your face or the back (or elsewhere). Unfortunately, it is often an instinctive reaction to touch buttons unconsciously uncomfortable - so make sure your fingers are as clean and germ-free as possible. Whatever you do - do not press the buttons or black spots just because it provides an opening that is extremely easy to surrounding bacteria entering the wound. Further infection, increased swelling and a greater chance of scarring will result. Even if you do not tighten, the pressure can build up in the buttons to the extent that they eventually break on their own - but it causes less damage to surrounding tissue and is less likely to force the infection deeper into the skin.
There are many unproven theories as to why acne occurs first. Acne is a complex disease - even if it seems like rashes on the skin, it can indicate problems elsewhere deep within the body. Acne can be caused by toxicity in the colon, poor food digestion, liver problems or other conditions that lead to excessive levels of toxins in the blood. Sometimes, these toxins must be eliminated through the skin by the sebaceous glands. Hormonal changes associated with puberty can also cause an imbalance in the production of oil in the sebaceous glands - in a much greater extent in some individuals than in others.
Unfortunately, you have little control over it - so focus on the factors that you have some control. Numerous studies have shown that good skin hygiene, a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and consumption of lots of pure water will reduce the chances of suffering from severe episodes of acne. Avoiding stress and getting enough exercise and sleep may also be beneficial.
Some treatments for acne - skin creams, astringents and other preparations - can be extremely effective for some people in reducing the incidence and severity of acne. It is a matter of trial and error to see what combinations to suit your skin type and circumstances the best.
