Disorder: Acne
Acne is a skin disorder consisting of hair follicles and sebum. It is a bacterial infection in the oil glands. Usually starts at the age of puberty or sooner. Can be present in both men and women. They can appear in the face, neck, chest, shoulders, back, buttocks, and upper arms.
There are several different ways to develop Acne. For example, over production of sebum, bacteria left on the skin, and debris clogging the pores.

Acne, acne vulgaris as it is scientifically known is a disease of the hair follicle on the face, back, and chest or where ever the acne is found. Acne is usually common among teens during puberty. At puberty sebaceous glands attached to the hair follicles are stimulated by circulating male hormones. As the stimulated sebaceous glands increase oil production it predisposes the skin cell to plug the follicular pore. Usually the plug appears as a whitehead that is if it is covered by a layer of skin that is thin. As this process goes on with time the follicle enlarges and may cause the wall to rapture allowing normal skin bacteria and other irritating substances to have access to deep layers of the skin and eventually causing inflammation near the surface of the skin. The inflammation results in a pustule. Deeper inflammation produces a papule which is a pimple. If the inflammation goes very deep it can cause a cyst. Blackhead is not dirt. Blackhead is a mild acne type that has a dark or black surface due to oxidized oil. Pimple is also an acne type which has a
There are several factors that contribute to the onset of cystic acne in adults. The immediate cause is an overproduction of oil, usually brought on by the hormone imbalance or overactive glands, which leads to clogged pores. This interferes with the skin’s normal renewal process, rendering it unable to properly dispose of dead skin cells. This can result in serious bacterial infections that are a precursor to cystic acne.
The cosmetic dermatology specialists rely on Accutane because its chemical properties are known to aggressively attack stubborn acne, which can be debilitating for its sufferers. Patients rave about the radical change in their skin’s appearance following the acne treatments.
The cause the original blemish on the patient's skin was most likely an excess of sebum(oil) and dead skin cells that built up over time to clog the pores. Bacteria begins to accrue in the orifices of the face which leads to the formation of acne.
Acne is so common a skin disease that affects over 80 percent of mostly teenagers. Most doctors are very familiar with this chronic skin disease.
For most people, acne starts during the teen years. This is because hormone changes make the skin oilier after puberty
The body will use the kidneys and liver to eliminate these toxins and poisons, and when the body has more of these toxins than these organs can deal with effectively, it’s excreted by the skin. Every one of these processes simultaneously work together, which can upset the body’s ability to naturally heal itself and becomes one of the major causes of acne and pimples.
There are a lot of factors that can generate acne to transpire, such as our genes. Genetics can’t be changed, however there are quite a number of things you can do.
Years ago, it was thought that acne was a teenage skin problem caused by not washing the face well enough. But science has proved that theory wrong. Acne is a skin inflammation and the condition happens to people regardless of how young or old they are.
One basic way to get a glowing skin is to maintain an acne free surface which is again not an easy job especially if the skin is very sensitive and prone to a certain type of acne known as cystic acne. Acne free skin automatically gains much glow and softness as its free from wrinkles, dark spots and faded skin. Cystic acne is considered to be the worst forms of acne which can take on different phases and resultingly can create dark scars and spots on the skin. T causes discoloration of skin causing dead layer to appear which develops dark areas. Cystic acne is different from other forms of acne in terms of its treatment. Normal acne or pimple can go away or heal itself in a day or two. But cystic acne needs proper treatment to get rid of it.
Hormonal acne is often scheduled unlike other types of acne. It generally occurs around the chin, mouth and jaw area, and may get worse routinely some days before your period. In this case, treating skin proactively this time can highly minimize their severity.
Once one reaches the stage of adolescence, as part of our normal body's changes and growth, acne also start appearing. Most people consider dirt to be the reason why acne starts popping out on the skin. Yes, keeping your face clean all the time can greatly help but it may not tend to remove it once and for all. There is still a big help from thoroughly
