Skin Care Treatment

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…)

Definition of Acne

From a medical perspective acne is a very common skin disease caused by inflammation of pilosebaceous follicles, particularly caused by the bacterium ACNI propion (Researchers have discovered the complete genome of this bacterium, which suggests further drug more specific in the future) and / or a change in hormone levels.

Its most common form, juvenile acne, about 80% of adolescents and heals spontaneously by the age of 19 years, in 90% of cases, leaving no scars.

We realize that bacteria play a central role, an antibacterial is an excellent therapy (eg. Benzoyl peroxide).

Acne should be properly treated because it can cause scarring and lead to psychological problems (depression, isolation, loss of confidence ,…).

There are different forms of acne (acne, acne rosacea ,….) and only a doctor (dermatologist) may make a correct diagnosis and suggest appropriate therapy.
