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.
