Acne & Its Treatment
Acne is one of the most common problem in males and females. Acne
affects up to 85% of people ages 12-25. Even adults in their thirties
and forties can develop acne. Acne affects directly on ones
personality and one feels uncomfortable. While acne will disappear
after several years. But there is acne that goes untreated can cause
deep pitting and leave unsightly permanent scars. Acne develops when
the sebaceous glands in the skin overproduce an oily substance
possibly due to hormonal changes that peak during the teen years.
Sebaceous glands are attached to hair follicles all over the body, but
they are especially plentiful and active on the face, neck and upper
body, where acne strikes.
Normally the sebum flows from the sebaceous glands, up through the
hair follicle and out of a ****e on the skin's surface. When too much
sebum is produced, it blocks the openings of the glands, where sebum
and dead skin cells ac***ulate, forming a plug called a comedo. If the
comedo stays below the surface of the skin, it is light in color and
called a whitehead. If it enlarges and pops out the tip looks dark and
it is called a blackhead. However, this is not dirt and will not wash
off. The darkness is caused by an ac***ulation of melanin, the dark
pigment in the skin. In addition, the mixture of oil and dead cells
help bacteria in the follicles to grow. Bacteria thrive on the oil,
growing readily beneath the skin and leading to infection. This
produces redness and pus formation or in more serious cases the
infection spreads into deeper skin layers and causes cysts.
