Worlds Largest Pimple

The world’s largest pimple is said to be 76 mm in diameter. There are even claims on the Web of even bigger zits. But many of the so-called super size zits on the Net are actually about 18 mm in diameter. That is about the size of a dime. 
 
What Causes Big Zits?
 
Zits 76 mm in diameter are as big as your typical hockey puck. It is possible that these extra large zits are symptoms of another skin condition. They may not even be zits at all. It should be stated here that not all scientists believe in the claims of 76 mm or 18 mm zits. The biggest currently accepted scientifically is 5 mm in diameter. 
 
Acne 
 
Although the claims for the world’s largest pimple is disputed, there is no questioning the fact that many people suffer from large zits. Those who suffer from this skin ailment are likely afflicted with acne. 
 
Scientifically known as acne vulgaris, it is a cystic bump with fluids inside. Usually, the cyst or nodule appears under the surface of the skin. This can make it hard to see. 
 
Zits usually pop up when there is a skin pore blockage. It can appear as a pustule or papule. As stated earlier, these can appear in different sizes. They usually manifest at the onset of puberty. Although common among teens, people in their 20s, 30s and beyond can get them too. 
 
Other Information 
 
The sebaceous glands generate the skin’s sebum. Usually, the outer layer of the skin shed and some dead skin cells are left. Often during puberty, the sebum will make the dead skin cells come together. This can lead to pore blockage. Though there is blockage, the glands will still generate sebum. If bacteria or other triggers set in, the zits will pop up. 
 
Prevention and Treatment of Zits 
 
The best way to keep acne away is to keep the face clean. Some dermatologists also suggest avoiding perfumed soaps as they can exacerbate the problem. There are also OTC medications available. These include tetracycline, erythromycin and isotretinoin. Many other treatments are being marketed today. Most of them appear in gel or cream. 
 
The size of the world’s largest pimple may still be subject to debate. But there is no debating the fact that steps can be taken to prevent or reduce their occurrence. By keeping your face clean or taking medications, these unsightly zits can be removed.

Smallest Bodybuilder

Smallest Bodybuilder

Pumping iron has become a fad in recent years as the younger generation has begun to appreciate the benefits of keeping fit. Encouraged by pictures of fabulous men and women with gleaming biceps and six-pack abs, scores of young people in different countries and cultures began flocking into gyms for their after-office work-outs. However, no image of a male or female body builder is more eye-catching than that of Aditha “Romeo” Dev, a muscleman who not only became famous in his hometown of Phagwara in India, but has also become an Internet sensation as well. The claim to fame of Romeo is his reigning record as the world’s smallest body builder.

Standing at a diminutive 84 cm or 2.9 feet tall and weighing at 9 kg or 20 pounds, Romeo has a medical condition known as dwarfism, which is characterized by short stature. Contrary to the belief of many, dwarfism is not a disease and most of those who have the condition live long and fulfilling lives. And, Romeo is one remarkable person who has proven that his short stature is no barrier to becoming a body builder — just like any person of normal height who strives to improve his physique. Unlike many people with the same condition, Romeo is well proportioned having a chest measurement of 51 cm or 20 inches and a head dimension of 38 cm or 15 inches. He puts in long hours every day at the gym with his trainer, Ranjeet Pal while crowds ogle at the world’s smallest body builder pressing 1.5 kg custom-made dumbbells – which is a mean feat considering his size.

Pal, who is himself a well-known body builder, spends hours helping his pint-sized trainee build his muscles. While he puts Romeo under the same training regimen as every one else in the gym, Pal sees more fire and determination in Romeo. Initially, he required Romeo to do a month of basic workout such as push up, aerobics and basic gymnastics to prepare and tone his body. Then, Pal fashioned lightweight dumbbells and taught the world’s smallest body builder basic weight lifting methods that would shape his triceps and biceps. Aside from bodybuilding, Romeo’s passion is dancing and earns good money appearing in local TV shows showing his dancing skills. Just like any person, the 19 year-old smallest body builder dreams of being able to travel and see the world through the eyes of an accomplished dancer and entertainer.
