ACNE PRONE SKIN

What is Acne?

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It commonly appears on the face, back, and shoulders and can range from mild to severe. Acne not only affects the skin’s appearance but can also lead to emotional distress, making effective treatment crucial.

Skin Acne

Common Causes of Acne

Understanding the root causes of acne is essential for effective management:

Hormonal Changes
Fluctuating hormones during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause can stimulate sebaceous glands, leading to excess oil production.

Increased Oil Production
Androgen hormones drive the production of sebum, which can clog pores when combined with dead skin cells.

Bacterial Overgrowth
Cutibacterium acnes, a bacteria naturally found on the skin, can grow within clogged follicles, triggering inflammation and redness.

Lifestyle Factors
Stress, diet, and environmental factors like pollution can exacerbate acne by disrupting the skin’s natural balance.

Improper Skincare Practices
Using harsh or pore-clogging products can aggravate acne, leading to more frequent breakouts.


Types of Acne

Acne manifests in various forms, each requiring a unique treatment approach:

Comedonal Acne

  • Blackheads (Open Comedones): Clogged pores that appear dark due to oxidation.
  • Whiteheads (Closed Comedones): Clogged pores that remain beneath the skin, forming small white bumps.

Inflammatory Acne

  • Papules: Small, red bumps caused by inflammation.
  • Pustules: Papules filled with pus, often appearing red and swollen.
  • Nodules: Deep, painful lumps beneath the skin.
  • Cysts: Large, pus-filled lesions that can cause scarring.

Acne Mechanica

  • Triggered by friction or pressure from tight clothing, helmets, or other equipment.
