Acne Pandemic That Started with Covid-19

It is an important health problem that affects both the world and our country and social life; We are in the process of a pandemic that affects all businesses and people, small and large, economically and is still ongoing.

The whole world is in a great change and transformation!!

This important health problem is very serious. It has caused people to lose their lives and continues to do so.

For this reason, protective measures are very important.

Both the pandemic process itself and the stress it creates, as well as the measures taken, may cause an increase in some skin diseases or It also caused triggering.

The serious increase in acne is quite remarkable.

Acne is a disease of the sebaceous glands. It occurs due to excessive oil synthesis in the skin. The main basis that causes acne are the black and white oil buttons, namely comedones, that develop due to excessive oil synthesis. Acne occurs when bacteria are added to these.
 

Increased oil synthesis in our skin is the most important cause of acne. Stress is the most important trigger that increases fat synthesis. Perhaps the most important reason for the increase in acne during the pandemic period is the stress we experience during this period.

Apart from this, we can say that the use of masks facilitates the development of acne, black and white spots (comedones).

We observed that intensely inflamed acne developed in the areas under the mask

 

In addition, the fact that people stayed at home and neglected skin cleaning during the quarantine period during the pandemic can be seen as another reason.

In addition, many people may have tried treatments, masks and oils that are not suitable for their skin while staying at home, which may have triggered the formation of acne.
 

WHAT SHOULD YOU NOT DO IF YOU HAVE ACNE? ?

Since acne creates an unpleasant appearance on the face, people with acne often want to cover this situation with foundation and powder. This makes the situation more difficult; It increases acne by causing the face to become more oily. You should never use foundation.

Do it second most frequently. The wrong thing to do is to squeeze the pimples. If you squeeze, feel or touch your acne, a bigger and worse acne will come back. In addition, the risk of scarring from squeezed acne is also very high.
 

MISKNOWN ABOUT ACNE

--Eating fatty foods, nuts, and chocolate increases acne. There is no scientifically proven data between food and acne. Of course, eating fast food and eating unhealthy will negatively affect acne. However, we cannot show nutrition as the cause of acne. However, eating healthy is beneficial for our skin health as well as our overall health.

--Sun is good for acne. A little sun is good for all our health. However, it is wrong to sunbathe so much that you burn and to believe that acne will go away with the sun. On the contrary, it may cause blemishes and acne to worsen.

--Acne is caused by not being clean. Acne is a sebaceous gland disease. It is formed by excessive fat synthesis. Of course, acne gets worse on skin that is not cleaned and washed well. However, when we look at patients with acne, we see that they wash their faces more often to get rid of acne than people without acne.

--Tonic is good for acne. On the contrary, since the tonic will completely remove the oil on the skin, rebound may lead to more oil synthesis. It would be better not to use tonic without the doctor's recommendation.

--Exfoliating is good for acne. Acne treatment begins with the treatment of comedones. In other words, acne cannot be cured by scrubbing the outer surface. On the contrary, it may cause skin irritation and negative pressure, causing acne to increase.

 

Does acne have anything to do with food?

It has not been scientifically shown that acne has a relationship with food. But unhealthy eating, processed foods, packaged products and fast food not only affects our entire health, but also our acne. If we eat healthy, our acne will also improve. But food alone is not the cause of acne.

HOW IS ACNE TREATED?

 

We start the treatment by cleaning the comedones, that is, the oil buttons (black and white spots) that cause acne. In other words, we eliminate the cause of acne at the beginning of the treatment.
