1. Myth - Acne is caused by eating oily food, fast food, chocolates, chips, cola etc.
Fact - Acne is not caused by what a person eats and does not eat. It is caused due to excessive sebum (oil) secretion by the oil glands of our body mainly the face. And it is caused due to increase in the number of a bacteria which is normally present on our skin Propionibacterium acnes . Occurs commonly during puberty due to hormonal changes in the body. Commoner in boys. Can occur in adults also.
2. Myth - Plucking out a white hair will result in more growing there.
Fact - A white hair is a hair which has stopped producing pigment. Pluck it out and it will grow back again after some time. It will not give rise to 2,5 or 10 more white hair. And it will not release any fluid that will turn the surrounding hair white.
3. Myth - Shaving hair causes thicker hair to grow back.
Fact - During shaving the hair is cut off from the surface, the root is intact so the hair can grow back quickly. This gives appearance of thicker hair.But it is the same hair.
4. Myth - Suncreen is not needed on cloudy days.
Fact - Sunscreen is needed irrespective of whether its is cloudy/raining/stormy or anything else.Sunscreen should be applied at all times whenever one steps out during the day. Ideally it should be applied before wearing clothes and at least 30 minutes before sun exposure. And should be re-applied after a few hours. This prevents development of dark spots on the skin and wrinkles later on.
