What Is Acne

Primary Precursor of acne:

·         Genetics

·         Hormones: increase oil production which clogs pores and stress increases hormones

Triggers of acne:

·         Environmental aggessors

·         Stress

·         Cosmetics

·         Medication

·         Mechanical Friction

·         Hormone Fluctuations

How does it occur?
Acne is caused by inflammation or infection of the oil glands in the skin and at the base of hairs. In the teenage years, hormones stimulate the growth of body hair, and the oil glands secrete more oil. The skin pores become clogged and bacteria grow in the clogged pores. When the body works to kill the bacteria, whiteheads, blackheads, and pustules form in these areas.

Stress, birth control pills, and too little rest can make acne worse.

What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of acne are:
• whiteheads, which are closed plugged oil glands
• blackheads, which are open plugged oil glands (the oil turns black when it's exposed to the air)
• pustules, which are red, inflamed, infected plugged oil glands, sometimes filled with pus.

Some pimples may be painful. In severe cases, cysts (large fluid-filled bumps) may develop under the skin.
