What is Acne?
Acne or acne vulgaris is a common skin condition which occurs when hair follicles become clogged under the skin. It can affect people of all ages but occurs in teenagers mostly because of puberty. The different types of acne are;
- Blackheads: Blackheads or comedones occur due to coagulation of sebum and dead skin cells.
- Whiteheads: These are small, white colored bumps usually surrounded by red halo.
- Papules: Papules are solid, tender, pink & swollen bumps under the skin’s surface.
- Pustules (Pimples): These are large tender bumps, center filled with whitish or yellowish pus.
- Nodules: Nodules are inflamed lumps which are located deep under the skin. These are the hard and painful form of acne.
Root Causes of Acne
Acne occurs when pores get blocked due to the buildup of dead skin cells, sebum and under skin hair follicles and gets infected by Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes).
There are other factors that also contribute to the acne formation like hormonal imbalance, excessive sebum production, certain medications, age or puberty etc.
Hormones like estrogen and testosterone are the reasons of most of teenage acne breakouts while the fluctuating levels of estrogen in menstruation cycle also cause acne.
It has been also observed that high levels of insulin increases acne formation as it stimulates the oil gland secretions.
