What Causes Acne?
Normal skin and acne skin
Normal skin understanding
Small sebaceous glands lie just below the surface of the skin. These glands are the oil (sebum) that keeps the skin smooth and smooth. Small pores (holes) in the skin allow the sebum to come on the surface of the skin. The bristles also grow through these pores. During adolescence, he does a lot more sebum than when he was a child. This is due to the hormonal changes of puberty that stimulate the sebaceous glands. Usually, the more sebum you make, the more fat and the worse acne skin feels likely to be. Some people make more tallow than others.
Mild to moderate acne - pimples, whiteheads and blackheads
Some pores are blocked (clogged). This is due to the skin on the top of the pores being thicker, in combination with the dead skin cells that are filled in the pores. You can see the plugs that block the pores as small white dots known black and (comedones). Note: black dots are due to pigmentation of the skin and dirt is not as some people think. In many cases, acne does not progress beyond this step lightly.
Some sebum can build up in blocked pores. It can be seen as small spots called grains or papules. In some cases, acne does not progress past the stage of mild to moderate when you can see a series of blackheads, blackheads and whites.
Moderate to severe acne - most important tasks and inflammation
Prisoner tallow is ideal for a germ (bacteria) called Propionibacterium acnes to live and multiply. A small number of these bacteria normally live on the skin and do no harm. However, if a large number grows in trapped sebum, the immune system may react and cause inflammation. If the inflammation develops, it causes the surrounding skin to turn red and the spots become larger and full of pus (pustules). In some cases, pustules become even larger and formed into small nodules and cysts.
Each element lit the time heals. In some cases, the area of skin that has become inflamed remains discolored for several months after the inflammation has subsided (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). This is often more noticeable in people with darker skin. In addition, a small mark by the scar usually is left on the skin where there was an inflamed place. These small scars are often not completely erased and are a marker on the old man who had once inflamed acne spots.
The Unusual Causes of Acne
The above description is the cause of almost all cases of acne. Rarely, certain diseases among young people and women can cause acne or worse acne. For example, polycystic ovarian syndrome and conditions that cause excess male hormone in the adrenal gland or ovary. These conditions cause other symptoms besides acne, hair loss like the scalp, excessive growth of hair on the face or body (hirsutism), and other problems. Another rare cause of acne is exposure to chemicals that occur in some workplaces (halocarbons).
