Distressing Acne and Its Possible Causes

Whenever you are on your teen years, there is pretty good probability that you might get some acne. Nearly 8 out of 10 teenagers have acne along with many adults. It is a general skin problem that is considered to be a normal part of puberty.

Apparently, it does make teen or any individual unhappy. It doesn't make it easier as you look in the mirror and see the big pimple on your face or chin. However there is good news such as simple steps that will help you feel better about your face.

Acne is a skin condition which shows up as different types of bumps including whiteheads, blackheads and pimples. You are always wondering how you got those zits on your back or how those pimples have grown onto your face. The easiest scientific explanation that you could know is that your skin is covered with tiny holes known as hair follicles or pores.

These pores contain sebaceous glands also known as oil glands that make sebum and oil that moisten your skin and hair. Glands make the right amount of sebum and the pores are fine at most of the time. However sometimes a pore gets clogged up with too much sebum, dead skin cells and germs called bacteria thus causing you to have acne.

Doctors believe that acne results from several related factors but the true reason is unknown. One important factor is the increasing hormones called androgen that is male sex hormones. The rising in hormones androgen during puberty causes the enlargement of sebaceous glands thus making more sebum. This hormonal change related to pregnancy or starting or stopping birth control pills can lead to acne breakouts.

Hereditary or genetics is another factor which may be related to acne. Others believe that the tendency to acne outbreaks is inherited from their parents. Certain drugs such as androgens and lithium are known to cause acne. Likewise greasy cosmetics may modify the cells of the follicles and make them stick together thus producing a plug.

Moreover there are many myths about the reasons of acne outbreaks. People always blame chocolates and greasy foods however foods seem to have little effect on the development and cause of acne in most people. Dirty skin is as well believed to lead to the skin disorder however blackheads and other acne lesions are not caused by dirt.

Obviously there are several factors which can make the acne worse. The varying hormone levels in the adolescent girls and adult women 2 to 7 days before their menstrual period begins affect the worsening of the acne. Picking or squeezing at blemishes, environmental irritants and hard scrubbing of the skin are other factors which could worsen acne conditions.

Beside from the dermatologist who specializes on skin troubles, there are doctors who treat all kinds of acne especially those of severe cases. Family practitioners, pediatricians or internists may cure individuals with milder acne cases. It is always the target of the acne treatment to heal existing lesions, end new lesions formation, avoid scarring as well as minimize the psychological stress and embarrassment which caused by the disease.

The drug treatment is to dimish several problems playing a part in causing acne like abnormal clumping of cells in the follicles, oil production, increased bacteria and inflammation. The doctor may suggest one of several over-the-counter acne medicines or prescription medicines either topical which applied to the skin or oral medication depending on the extent of the person's acne.
