Health - Introduction To Acne
Introduction to Acne
Acne is the most common skin disorder in America, affecting
millions of people a year. Mostly affected by acne are
teenagers, pregnant women and menopausal women.
The good news about acne is that no matter what kind of acne
you may have, it can be treated; whether it is a mild, moderate
or severe form either an over the counter remedy or prescription
medicine from your dermatologist can rid acne from your face.
Here is a quick introduction on how acne forms.
Acne is caused by the over production of hormones in the body
that control the production of sebaceous glands. Sebaceous
glands are glands under the skin that produce oil called sebum.
Hormones tell these sebaceous glands to over produce oil or
sebum. These glands are part of a unit that includes the
sebaceous gland, a hair follicle and a shaft that leads to the
pores of the skin. When too much oil is produced it rises to the
shaft. If the pores in the skin get clogged, then a bacteria
will
start to feed off the oil in the shaft and start an
infection. This infection in the clogged shaft causes a pimple.
The pimple usually has a white head because white blood cells
which defend the body against infection are present inside the
pimple.
Most acne treatments involve either lowering the hormone in the
body, attacking the bacteria or unclogging the pores. These
three areas can be extremely effective in controlling the
incidence of acne and facial blemishes. If you think you have
acne, consult with a physician for proper treatment.
