<tr valign="top" bordercolor="#ffffff"> <td width="50%" colspan="2"> <p class="health">Acne is a blocking and subsequent infection of the skin's pores or follicles. It is estimated that 75% of all teenagers and young adults suffer from acne. Although not as common, acne can also affect people in their 30s and 40s. <br/><br/>Contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused or accelerated by the consumption of too much fatty foods or chocolate. Instead, acne is actually caused by an over-activity of the sebaceous glands around the pores. The sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance called sebum, which normally drains over the skin's surface. Where sebum becomes blocked, bacteria forms creating whiteheads (spots) and blackheads. Acne generally occurs across the face, back, chest and shoulders where there are high numbers of these oil-producing sebaceous glands.<br/><br/>There are many different treatments for acne available on the market. If you go and see your GP they will often prescribe treatment for mild to moderate acne with a preparation containing benzoyl peroxide. There are several non-prescription based acne treatments available too, but they should be used with caution as some can block the pores, contributing further to acne.<br/> <br/>If you are looking for more information on acne then you should check out all the resources on our site. We hope that you find our acne resource useful and advise you to check back regularly as we will be adding more information on acne soon.<br/><br/></p> <p class="health"><span class="links"> </span></p> <p class="health"><span class="links"> <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-blemish.html">acne blemish</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-clear-light.html">acne clear light</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-clearlight.html">acne clearlight</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-clearlight-treatment.html">acne clearlight treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-clinic.html">acne clinic</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-clinic-treatment.html">acne clinic treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-control.html">acne control</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-cure.html">acne cure</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-dermatologist.html">acne dermatologist</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-laser.html">acne laser</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-laser-scar-treatment.html">acne laser scar treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-laser-treatment.html">acne laser treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-laser-treatment-uk.html">acne laser treatment uk</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-light-treatment.html">acne light treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-nodular-severe.html">acne nodular severe</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-removal.html">acne removal</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-scar.html">acne scar</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-scar-removal.html">acne scar removal</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-scar-repair.html">acne scar repair</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-scar-treatment.html">acne scar treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-scar-treatment-uk.html">acne scar treatment uk</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-scaring.html">acne scaring</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-scarring.html">acne scarring</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-scarring-treatment.html">acne scarring treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-solution.html">acne solution</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-treatment.html">acne treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-treatment-uk.html">acne treatment uk</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/adult-acne.html">adult acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/adult-acne-treatment.html">adult acne treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/back-acne.html">back acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/best-acne-treatment.html">best acne treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/body-acne.html">body acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/chest-acne.html">chest acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/clear-acne.html">clear acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/clearing-acne.html">clearing acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/clearing-acne.html">clearing acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/clearlight.html">clearlight</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/cystic-acne.html">cystic acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/face-get-rid-spot.html">face get rid spot</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/get-rid-of-acne.html">get rid of acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/get-rid-of-acne-scar.html">get rid of acne scar</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/get-rid-of-my-spot.html">get rid of my spot</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/laser-spot.html">laser spot</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/severe-acne.html">severe acne</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/spot-treatment.html">spot treatment</a> - <a href="../Beauty/Acne/acne-blemish.html">acne blemish</a> - </span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></td> <td valign="top" align="left" width="20%" bgcolor="#ffffff"> <table bordercolor="#3366cc" height="736" width="100%" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td bordercolor="#0066cc" width="100%" bgcolor="#365C82" height="20"> <div align="center" class="healthheaders">Advertisement</div></td></tr> <td width="160px" height="710" valign="top"> <!-- #BeginEditable "AdCode" --><!-- #EndEditable --> </div></td> </tr> </table></td></tr> <tr bordercolor="#ffffff"> <td valign="top" align="left"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left" bgcolor="#ffffff"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table><table width="100%"> <tr> <td><div align="center"><span class="marqueetable"> <marquee> <a href="http://perfectpractices.co.uk" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.diabeteschallenge.org.uk/Beauty/cosmeticsurgeryconsultants2.gif" width="475" height="77" border="1"></a> </marquee> </span></div></td> </tr></table></body></html>
