Causes of Acne
Acne is an inflammatory skin
disease that is caused due
to certain biological variations
in the pilosebaseous units
(skin structures consisting
of a hair follicle and its
connecting sebaceous gland)
of the skin. The most common
form of acne known as "acne
vulgaris" usually appears
during adolescence.
Acne is caused due to excessive
oil in human body. The glands
in the skin secrete excessive
amount of oil that block the
hair follicles by combining
naturally with the dead skin
cells. Generally, people who
eat a lot of oily food suffer
from this problem.
Due to acne some parts of
the human body are affected.
Some of them are face, arms
etc. The oil secretions behind
the blocked pores create a
perfect environment for uncontrolled
multiplication by the bacteria
in the skin. In response,
the skin inflames, producing
the visible lesion (acne).
Rashes are occurred on the
body. The face, upper arms,
back and chest are especially
affected by acne.
The certain lesions of acne
are: blackish elevations or
pale yellow and/or small whitish
bumps. More inflamed rashes
take the shape of boil-like
tender swellings or reddish
bumps. After resolution of
the blemishes, prominent unsightly
acne scars may remain.
The acne condition is common
in puberty as a result of
an abnormal response to normal
levels of the male hormone
testosterone. Acne occurs
when the hormones are increased
due to excess oil in the body.
There is however no way to
predict how long acne will
take to disappear completely
or that it will ever recur
again.
Acne affects a large percentage
of humans at some stage in
life. Apart from leaving behind
the marks of scars it has
some psychological effects
as well causing stress and
depression. Therefore acne
should not be neglected and
should be treated with great
care and responsibility to
ensure a healthy life.
