PROM PRIMPERS PLAGUED WITH PIMPLES

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- A new syndrome is sweeping high school campuses: "Prom Pimples." Beverly Hills dermatologist Dr. David Amron says prom pimples are caused by the constant primping some prom-goers indulge in before the big night. Amron says teen girls who experiment with lots of heavy make-up may wind up end up with a face filled with zits because the stuff can clog their pores. Teen-age boys can also get prom pimples, usually triggered by a over-application of hair gels or hair sprays. But not every case of "prom pimples" comes from primping for the big event. Dr. Amron says stress alone can trigger break-outs for some, and girls who use the Pill may also experience outbreaks of zits.
