In very severe cases the horny bumps can start to bleed.

			<description><![CDATA[Acne Treatment

Today, virtually every case of acne can be resolved. The key to getting rid of acne lesions and preventing new ones from forming lies in knowing that:

Resolution takes time.
What works for one person may not work for another.
A dermatologist s help may be required.

Resolution takes time. Treatments that promise fast, miraculous or overnight results often capture the attention of acne sufferers hoping for quick resolution. However, the fact remains that acne does not clear overnight. On average, 6 to 8 weeks are needed to see initial results. Once acne significantly improves or clears, continued treatment is needed to keep...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[toggle title="Acne is caused by poor hygiene"] Acne is caused by extra skin and oil, but if you wash your skin hard and too often, you can make your acne worse. Remember: acne is not caused by dirt or surface skin oils, therefore, 'over washing' your epidermis will not help. [/toggle]
[toggle title="Acne is caused by certain foods"] All too many studies have found no connection between diet and acne. Not chocolate, nor French fries, nor pizza. If you happen to be one of the few who actually are affected by a certain food, then don't eat it! As a general rule...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What Causes Acne 
Almost all teenagers get acne at one time or another. You haven't done anything to cause your acne. It's not your fault if you have it. Pimples are caused when oil ducts in the skin get plugged up and then burst, causing redness and swelling. Although there are many myths about acne, the following are the three main factors that cause it.
1. Hormones 
When you begin puberty, certain hormones, called androgens, increase in both males and females. These hormones trigger oil ducts on the face, back and upper chest to begin producing oil. This can cause acne...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What is Acne? 
Acne is the term for plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples, and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms. Acne affects most teenagers to some extent. However, the disease is not restricted to any age group; adults in their 20s - even into their 40s - can get acne. While not a life threatening condition, acne can be upsetting and disfiguring. When severe, acne can lead to serious and permanent scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring.

Think back, way back for some of us, to your teen years when you were standing in front of a mirror staring at the huge zit on your face. Thoughts were racing through your mind. 'How did it get there?' and more importantly, 'How were you going to get it off before someone actually sees it?' Now keep this thought in the back of your mind.
