Affecting some adults and almost 100% of teenagers at some point, acne is just a part of life. Puberty causes huge increases in testosterone production in both boys and girls, which in turn causes the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Clogged skln pores create the perfect incubating environment for Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). As P. acnes multiplies in the clogged pores, it causes swelling and redness and a variety of wonderful lesions that include blackheads, whiteheads, solid bumps, flat red splotches, and even angry cysts that can cause scarring. As if puberty didn't already cause your parents to inexplicably start trying to ruin your life and the whole world to all of a sudden be against you!
Each GIANTmicrobe comes with a picture and information about the real microbe it represents. Great as a fun gift, GIANTmicrobes also make outstanding visual educational tools.
GIANTmicrobes - Acne Pimple measures approximately 5"long by 2 1/2"wide.
