Acne Affecting Teenagers

Decent Essays
Affecting many teenagers around the world, acne is a skin condition that causes self-esteem issues and corrupts overall quality of life. According to definition, acne is merely a skin condition that occurs when a hair follicle is clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Although it may not seem like a life- threatening infirmity, waking up one day to find an unattractive, red bump on the face can cause the same detriment to one’s confidence as a severe disease.

    • 2 Pages

    Severe acne on the face, chest, and back can cause permanent changes in the skin that we refer to as acne scarring. When pores become clogged with bacteria, oil, and dead skin, it causes inflammation and swelling of the pore. Follicle walls in the skin break because of this swelling. During the repair process, new collagen fibers are formed; however, this process does not return the skin back to its original condition. Once the repair process is complete, it is common to see permanent acne scars as a result of the skins inability to return back to its original smoothness.…

    Valerie Ulene’s article “Plastic surgery for teens” and Camille Sweeney’s article “Seeking self-esteem through surgery” are both focusing on the same two issues, that plastic surgeries for teens is a growing tendency and whether they should be permitted. The point of view in the two articles seems to be slightly different.
