When the acne is severe this is the presence of pimples on the face, pimples large inflamed pimples containing pus or a little painful. This leaves many scars and acne often affects self-esteem of the sufferer. The treatments for this type of acne according to Dr. Berson is a challenge. Usually the acne does not respond to common medications or cosmetic treatments. The only proven cure offered by traditional medicine is the ingredient “isotretinoin” which is sold under the names Roaccutane ® or Accutane ®.

Roaccutane ® or Accutane ® is a miracle drug but very controversial at the moment. It is the last option in the treatment of acne by its negative side effects and severity of treatment. This drug has been linked to cases of suicide even though not fully proven.

According to Dr. Diane Thiboutot (professor at the University Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, USA) control of acne in adults is an ongoing process. Most medicines are based on preventing further outbreaks. Many women with adult acne treatments based use of antibiotics and other topical products (applied to the skin), but 60% of women do not respond to these treatments. According to Dr. Thiboutot these women should go to a dermatologist to find a solution.

The female cycle can be divided into three stages: menstruation or bleeding time, pre-ovulation and post ovulation. These are the most common changes in the skin at every stage:

Pre-ovulation: Ovulation occurs near the fourteenth day of your menstrual cycle, which begins the first day of your period. When bleeding ended estrogen increases which helps the skin is more healthy and beautiful.

Ovulation and menstruation. The skin starts to get fat and acne problems are increased in people prone to it.

Before you start looking for acne treatments that work, you should understand the root causes of acne and what things you can do to help prevent acne from occurring. For many individuals, puberty bring on acne and the individual simply outgrows it. Acne is caused by bacteria that gets into [pores. The acne you see on your face, chest, back or shoulders is simply sores resulting from the infection. Increased oil secretions from skin, highest at puberty, cause the pores to clog and this is a perfect place for bacteria to breed.

Bacteria trapped in pores can mix with dead skin cells and plug the pore. This is the reason that an acne treatment that works may merely be a facial wash product designed to dry the oil and clear away dead skin. Combining an acne facial wash product with the proper diet, so your skin can ward off infections, may be all that is needed to reduce the look of acne.

Regular washing of the body is important to ward off acne, but sometimes it is not enough. New acne treatments are available and many products work very well. Acne is never cured, it is simply reduced to a level where it is not visible. Reducing the appearance of acne can make an enormous difference in a person’s appearance and how they feel about their body.

This usually begins at puberty, as an increase in androgens (male hormones) cause the sebaceous glands to increase the size and activity. Inflammatory acne lesions include papules, pustules, and nodules or cysts and are located mainly on the face, the chest and back. non-inflammatory lesions including open or closed comedones (whiteheads or black).

Retention of sebaceous secretions and dilation of the follicle can be created to form a cyst that usually produces an abscess. This abscess healed scar in severe cases. Acne usually subsides spontaneously, but can not predict when.

Although the exact cause of acne is unknown, many doctors believe is a direct result of a variety of factors. One such factor is the increase in androgens during puberty. Androgens are hormones, and can cause the enlargement and overstimulation of the sebaceous glands in people with acne.

For both men and women, the increase in androgens during puberty can cause these sebaceous glands produce more sebum, which is oil. This oil mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria on the skin and blocks pores. Within these blocked pores bacteria multiplies and leads to swelling, causing blemishes and pimples.

Some researchers also believe that acne is hereditary, and that people with parents who had acne are likely to inherit acne.

Although stress was not found to be a direct cause of acne, which can lead to aggravated cases of acne. This happens because when someone is charged with anxiety, your body produces hormones such as cortisol, which exacerbates acne.

Other possible causes of acne include certain medications, drugs, steroids, have oily or makeup, and cleaning the hard skin.

Greasy food and dirty skin have often been blamed for acne but there is little evidence to support these direct causes of acne. Acne is not contagious.

Over time I noticed that there is a group of people who have little or no care of their skin and yet have never experienced acne or other skin condition. On the other hand, some people take care of their skin but religion still have an ongoing battle with acne. From the above observation it is clear that some people are prone to acne, while some others are not.

So what makes a person prone to acne? Thus the main factors contributing to the formation of acne are:

1. Sebaceous gland activity
2. Bacteria
3. Breakdown of the skin cells

A combination of these factors leads to the formation of acne. So lets have a closer look at these factors;

Sebaceous gland activity
The sebaceous glands secrete oil that lubricates the skin surface. Acne-prone individuals are known to have more reactive sebaceous glands that produce excess oil that is required therefore blocking the pores. Excess oil remains in the pore, blocking the sebaceous duct and creating a blockage in the follicle. (more…)
