ACNE

What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It primarily appears on the face, back, and shoulders, where the skin’s oil glands are most active. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples, blackheads, and cysts.

Causes of Acne

1. Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous (oil) glands produce excess oil, which can clog pores and lead to acne.
2. Clogged Pores: Dead skin cells can accumulate in hair follicles, causing them to become blocked and resulting in acne.
3. Bacteria: The bacterium Propionibacterium acnes can contribute to inflammation and pus formation within clogged pores.
4. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy, can increase oil production and trigger acne.
5. Diet: Certain dietary factors, such as high sugar and dairy consumption, may exacerbate acne for some individuals.
6. Stress: High levels of stress can impact hormone levels and contribute to acne flare-ups.
7. Genetics: A family history of acne may increase the likelihood of developing the condition.

Types of Acne

• Blackheads: Open comedones that appear as small, dark spots on the skin.
• Whiteheads: Closed comedones that are small, flesh-colored bumps.
• Papules: Small, red, inflamed bumps that can be tender.
• Pustules: Similar to papules but contain pus, appearing as red bumps with a white or yellow center.
• Nodules: Large, painful lumps beneath the skin’s surface.
• Cysts: Deep, painful, and pus-filled lesions that can cause scarring.
