Understanding Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, particularly during adolescence and early adulthood. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to various types of blemishes.
Types of Acne
1. Comedones:
- Whiteheads (closed comedones)
- Blackheads (open comedones)
2. Inflammatory Acne:
- Papules (small, red bumps)
- Pustules (pus-filled lesions)
- Nodules (large, painful lumps beneath the skin)
- Cysts (deep, pus-filled lesions)
Causes of Acne
Acne development is influenced by several factors:
- - Excess oil production: Overactive sebaceous glands produce too much sebum
- - Clogged hair follicles: Dead skin cells and oil block pores
- - Bacteria: Propionibacterium acnes multiply in clogged pores
- - Inflammation: The body's immune response to bacteria and irritation
- - Hormonal changes: Fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, and pregnancy
- - Diet: Certain foods may trigger or worsen acne in some individuals
- - Stress: Can exacerbate existing acne or trigger breakouts
- - Genetics: Family history can increase susceptibility
Symptoms of Acne
Acne symptoms vary depending on the severity and type:
- - Persistent pimples, especially on the face, chest, and back
- - Oily skin
- - Scarring (in severe cases)
- - Emotional distress and reduced self-esteem
