I. Causes of Pimples According to Wikipedia, pimples are caused by the accumulated dead skin cells and sebum that contain bacteria. The bacteria feed off the sebum and produces a substance that causes an immune response, leading to inflammation of skin. The most vulnerable parts of the body are the skin, back, chest and shoulders. The idea was back up by www.acnecaretips.com. According to www.wendysacneproductreviews.com/causesofpimples.html, another cause of pimples can be over washing. Over washing acne can actually produce more pimples. Sweating can cause acne to worsen. Pores can become blocked from excess sweat that cannot evaporate. Always take a shower after sweating. However, the information from www.medicinet.com/acne/article.html, state that sweat does not cause acne, therefore, it is not necessary to shower instantly after exercise for fear that sweat will clog pores.
II. Effects and Complications of Pimples According to Wikipedia, pimples can lead to significant swelling and may appear on the back and chest. According to www.acnecaretips.com, severe acne can affect many facets of a person’s life, causing great deal of embarrassment and stress. Having skin full of pimples may significantly limit one’s social life. Although acne is not considered to be a life threatening disorder, the psychological impact of acne can be quite profound as it affects the most visible parts of your body.

III. Prevention of Pimples According to www.kidshealth.org/teen/your_body/take_care/skin_tips.html, do not scrub your face. Over washing and scrubbing can cause skin to become irritated. Avoid touching your face with your fingers or leaning your face on objects that collect sebum and skin residue like your phone. Touching your face can spread the bacteria that cause pores to become inflamed and irritated. To keep bacteria at bay, wash your hands before applying anything to your face.

According to www.medicalnewstoday.com, popping pimples can push infected material further into the skin, leading to more swelling and redness, and even scarring. To avoid complications, baby your face and do not pop pimples. Another information from www.medicinenet.com/acne/article.html states that to be able to avoid having pimples use a natural antibacterial, non-oily face wash such as those containing tea tree oil or a clay mask containing Echinacea. Don’t use oily cosmetics.
IV. Treatment of Pimples According to www.medicalnewstoday.com, it is effective to wash your face about twice each day, not more often. Make sure you have a mild soap. Wash gently, do not scrub the skin. Experts advise the use of lotion which contains Benzoyl Peroxide. These ideas were back up by Wikipedia, saying that common over-the-counter (OTC) medications for pimples which contain Benzoyl Peroxide and/or Salicylic Acid and antibacterial agents such as Triclosan are effective in treating skin with pimples. Both medications can be found in many creams and gels used to treat acne through topical application. Both medications help skin slough off more easily, which helps remove bacteria faster. According to www.belomed.com/index.php/services, facial and peels are the best maintenance regimen for the skin that help improve target problems such as pimples.
