Acne is an inflammatory skin disease that appears in the combination of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores and pustules. Acne formation begins when a pore becomes blocked by dead skin cells. This blockage traps sebum (oil) within the pore and it starts to solidify. Now, the sebum begins to build up more and more and become infected from the common bacteria present in our skin and environment. This bacteria causes redness, pus formation, and more pimples.
(Also Acne Vulgaris) a disease of the oil-secreting glands of the skin that often affects adolescents, producing blackheads and pimples on the face, neck, and shoulders that can leave pitted scars.
A skin disease that occurs mainly during puberty. Overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands and increased hornification of the skin lead to obstruction of the hair follicles resulting in blackheads, inflammation and infection. Acne is caused primarily by increased production of male sex hormones (androgens).
is one of the most common and chronic skin diseases affecting young people in adolescence. However, it can appear even on mature skin, which has never had such a tendency before. Skin blemishes and pimples are caused by hyperactivity of the hormone, which controls oil secretion in the sebaceous glands. This leads to overproduction of sebum and thus to seborrhea. Apart from the hormonal reasons, acne is caused by disturbances in the natural process of keratinization, which is responsible for excessive exfoliation of the epidermis. Both these factors cause pore clogging, accumulation of dirt and formation of blackheads. In addition, the presence of sebum on the skin surface leads to the growth of germs, mainly Propionbacterium acne. They metabolize sebum and produce irritant substances responsible for skin inflammation. All these processes disturb the natural balance of the skin and result in creation of acne eruptions.
