Acne is common skin disorder among teenagers. It is caused by excessive production of oil by the sebaceous glands. Acne occurs mainly on the face and in rare cases, appears on the neck, chest, back and shoulders. Most forms of acne are a result of heredity or hormonal deficiencies. Stress, the use of oil based cosmetics and environmental pollutants, may also cause acne.
Acne causes blackheads, pimple, cysts and infected abscesses. Dark spots with open pores in the center are known as blackheads. Recurrent red spots or swellings found on the skin, form pimples. Blackheads can develop pustules, which form cysts up to an inch large, on the surface of the skin.
Vitamins Immune System
A suppressed immune system and poor digestion may result in a lack of essential vitamins and minerals, contributing to excess production by the sebaceous glands. Hormonal imbalances may also cause excess production by the sebaceous glands and in effect, increased acne outbreaks.
Since vitamins support the body's ability to create energy and provide basic nutrients, vitamin supplements play an important role in the treatment or spread of acne. A regular intake of Vitamin E helps maintain the skin and retards cellular aging. Zinc absorbs Vitamin A and regulates levels of Vitamin E in the blood. It boosts the immune system and helps kill harmful acne bacteria. Magnesium plays a major role in maintaining hormonal balance, a major cause of acne. Doses of selenium help maintain elasticity of the skin and boost the action of anti-oxidants. Vitamin A also prevents the spread of acne but should be taken only under the supervision of a medical professional.
Vitamins are not a cure for acne. They only play a vital role in the treatment of the overall physiology of a person. Vitamins can offset some of the causes of acne, including stress and poor nutrition.
