Acne
Acne is an inflammatory condition of the skin marked by pimples, white heads and blackheads. The sebaceous glands, oil-secreting glands that lubricate and moisturize the skin are found in large numbers on the face, chest and back. When these glands are suffering the result is acne. The glands can suffer from an overload or shift in hormones often seen in adolescences. Hormonal overload can cause an obstruction or hardening of the glands preventing sebum from reaching the surface of the skin.
Asthma
Asthma is an inflammatory respiratory illness characterized by shortness of breath, cough and wheezing. It is actually more difficult for the child to breath out, then breath in. The airways are constricted and swollen with an increase in mucus, which plugs up the smaller passages. Generally a child who has asthma will have a chronic underlying condition with acute episodes of respiratory attack. When a child experiences an attack they will cough, wheeze, have an increased heart rate, tightness in the chest and difficulty breathing.
