Dr. Brian Evans Discussing about Pimples

Dr. Brian Evans is a plastic surgeon in West Hills, California and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center and San Joaquin Community Hospital. He received his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and has been in practice for more than 20 years.

Brian Evans MDis a Board-certified plastic surgeon whose private medical practice has been divided between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and the care of the burn-injured patient. Here is what Dr. Brian says about pimples:

Our skin is full of pore after pore. A pimple is the result of a blockage of the skin’s pore. Due to its destructive and obtrusive nature pimples are all but desired. Since our skin is full of so many pores, pimples are quite common throughout the United States and even the world. Pimples are most prevalent during the adolescent years due to the enlargement of pores as a common part of the puberty process.

Causes of Pimples - A natural process of the skin is to produce sebum. This production takes place within the pores in the sebaceous glands. As the outer layers of the skin continuously shed, dead skin cells clog the pores causing blockages. The excess of sebum harbors various bacteria which in turn cause infection.

The body’s primary natural defense against any type of bacteria is white blood cells. White blood cells build up behind the blockage and destroy the bacteria to thus

prevent infection. The build-up of white blood cells is what causes the appearance of ‘whiteheads.’

How to treat your pimples - There are a number of treatments available for pimples, whether they are over-the-counter or prescription medications. Research is continuously being conducted to further the fight against this unsightly nuisance.

Over-the-counter medications -There are two common ingredients in over-the- counter medications: salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide works by bringing additional oxygen to pores, which creates a more hostile environment for bacteria to grow in. A major side effect of the use of benzoyl peroxide is the drying out of skin. Some common side effects of Benzoyl Peroxide include dry, itchy skin, redness, flaking and burning of the skin. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid.

Prescription medications - Only severe cases of acne should require the use of prescription medications in which case it is best to consult a doctor.

Acne is not just a teenage problem!

The teenage years are notorious for causing breakouts and acne, and most women are happy to know they’ve left those problems behind—or have they? Adult acne is a common problem in women of all ages. A better understanding of the causes of acne will help you understand why—and what you can do about it.

Like adolescent acne, adult acne is often caused by hormonal imbalance. Many women break out every month at the onset of their period, and acne is a common symptom of PMS. Acne is also associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that causes irregular or absent menstrual periods due to ovulation irregularities.

In women over 35, the hormonal fluctuations that orchestrate our periods tend to become more dramatic and unpredictable as you enter perimenopause and approach menopause—which can exacerbate hormonalacne. Many women who haven’t had a breakout since their teens or early twenties suddenly find themselves battling acne in their 40’s.

Does stress cause acne?

Dr. Brian Evanshas come across many times, when his clients ask him this question. When you’re stressed, your body produces cortisol. Cortisol vamps up the processes that help us deal with stressors, like converting protein to energy and releasing glycogen, and suppresses peripheral processes like digestion, cell regeneration and endocrine regulation. Unfortunately, most women are burdened with chronic, unrelenting stress, calling on the adrenal glands to continuously produce cortisol.

When cortisolis chronically elevated, the body doesn’t have the opportunity to shift its priorities back to its peripheral functions and it gradually deteriorates. A host of symptoms results, including fatigue, weight gain, depression and acne.

Acne and your diet

It’s a commonly debunked myth that eating certain foods causes breakouts— but this is not to say that your diet doesn’t matter when it comes to acne. Diets high in sugar, refined carbohydrates and trans fats, and low in antioxidants, create systemic inflammation, which manifests itself in your skin in the form of acne, rosacea, or premature aging.

American diets also tend to be high in pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, while low in inflammation-soothing omega-3’s. Righting this imbalance can go a long way in reducing inflammation and healing your skin.

You can put acne behind you

The good news is, there’s a lot you can do to prevent adult breakouts by solving the underlying causes of your acne, naturally.

Brian Evans Plastic Surgeryhas great success in helping women overcome Clinic adult acne by restoring hormonal balance and optimizing their diet. His Personal Progam is an at-home version of the approach he recommends to his patients.
