We all know that acne is an infection caused when you are in contact with pollution,
dust, harmful sunrays or the hormonal changes. It may become
worse when you use low quality cosmetics, junk foods and
sometimes under stress and take pills for being out of it.
Acne disease is most popular among the people nowadays. Every
age group is suffering from acne problem due to the environmental
conditions or the unhygienic one’s.
There are diseases that have the same look as acne have. Sometimes we cannot
find the difference between the acne and the other diseases.
Some of the diseases that look like acne are:
• Folliculitis: It is an infection
of the hair follicle. It is mostly caused by bacteria’s but
sometimes it can be happened with the fungus. Folliculitis
comes in various forms that are non-infectious. When you
come in contact with the other forms of folliculitis like
tars, greases and oils, your skin may not react to it as
these are non-infectious. When it looks like acne, you can’t
determine whether it is acne or folliculitis.
• Perioral dermatitis: It is a very common rash that appears
on the face. It consists mainly of small vesicles, pus
spots and small reddened bumps. These often gather around
the nose,
mouth and chin. If you use steroid creams, you will definitely
face the problem of the redness around your chin and above
the upper lip. These creams sometimes cause irritation
or itching sensation and give rise to this disease. Same
is
the case with perioral dermatitis as with folliculitis.
It can’t be detected easily that whether it is acne mark
or
any other skin infection as both appears almost same.
•
Rosacea: If you are above 35 and your acne appeared a long
time back without showing any sign of being cured,
then you
might think it as adult acne. But no, it can’t be like
that because that disease might be rosacea. It is an
infection that leaves no marks on the skin and has a long
lasting
effect.
Sometimes people misunderstand with it and take the pills
of adult acne. It varies with time and may not become
worse. At times, you may find your face is redden and that
may
not be the reason of importunate redness of your face
or sweating
but may be due to the broken blood vessels. However,
comedones like blackheads and whiteheads do not belong to
this category.
•
Keratosis Pilaris: It is a disorder that also occurs in
hair pores and cause redness around. It is often found
in
teenage girls and around 40% adults. If you are suffering
from hay fever, eczema or asthma, you might be easily
caught by keratisis pilaris. Hair follicles may also
be affected
with this turmoil. Sometimes it is a very big problem
if you take the treatment for acne and afterwards it comes
out to be any of the disease like perioral dermatitis, rosacea,
keatosis pilaris or folliculitis. Every treatment contain
some of the drugs or sometimes all the drugs different from
the other problem, it may worsen the disease. So, if you
find any problem regarding skin consult your doctor before
taking any pills.
