Acne Skin Care

Acne is a common skin condition producing pimples on the face and upper torso.

Acne is caused by a buildup of dead skin cells, bacteria, and dried sebum that block the hair follicles in the skin.

Pimples, cysts, and sometimes abscesses form on the skin, usually on the face, chest, shoulders, or back.

Back acne can be especially tough because there are more sebaceous glands in this area than on most other parts of your body, and the skin is thicker - which tends to make it more resistant to treatment.

Acne is caused by an interaction between hormones, skin oils, bacteria, and the resulting inflammation of hair follicles as the response of your body to lesions to the cells that line the sebum ducts within the follicles.

Acne is characterized by pimples, cysts, and sometimes abscesses. Both cysts and abscesses are pus-filled pockets, but abscesses are somewhat larger and deeper.

Sebaceous glands, which secrete an oily substance (sebum), lie in the dermis, the middle layer of skin. These glands are attached to the hair follicles. Sebum, along with dead skin cells, passes up from the sebaceous gland and hair follicle and out to the surface of the skin through the pores.

Acne results when a collection of dried sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria clogs the hair follicles, blocking the sebum from leaving through the pores.

Or acne results when your system overly reacts to skin lesions within the sebum canals.

If the blockage of sebum is incomplete, a blackhead (open comedone) develops; if the blockage is complete, a whitehead (closed comedone) develops. The blocked sebum-filled hair follicle promotes overgrowth of the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, which is normally present in the hair follicle. This bacterium breaks down the sebum into substances that irritate the skin.

The resulting inflammatory reaction of your system produces the skin eruptions that are commonly known as acne pimples. Deeper inflammation produces cysts and sometimes an abscess.

Acne occurs mainly during puberty, when the sebaceous glands are stimulated by increased hormone levels, especially the androgens (such as testosterone), resulting in excessive sebum production. By a person's early to mid-20s, hormone production stabilizes and acne usually disappears. Other conditions that involve hormonal changes can affect the occurrence of acne as well. For example, acne may occur with each menstrual period in young women and may clear up or substantially worsen during pregnancy.

The use of certain drugs, particularly corticosteroids and anabolic steroids, can cause acne by stimulating the sebaceous glands. Certain cosmetics may worsen acne by clogging the pores.

Because acne naturally varies in severity for most people—sometimes worsening, sometimes improving—pinpointing the factors that may produce an outbreak is difficult. Acne is often worse in the winter and better in the summer, perhaps because of sunlight's anti-inflammatory effect. There is no relationship, however, between acne and specific foods or sexual activity.

People with mild acne develop only a few (less than 20) noninflamed blackheads or whiteheads, or a moderate number of small, mildly irritated pimples. Blackheads appear as small flesh-colored bumps with tiny, dark dots at their center. Whiteheads have a similar appearance but lack the dark dots. Pimples are mildly uncomfortable and have a white center surrounded by a small area of reddened skin.

People with moderate acne have more comedones and pimples and sometimes larger, more inflamed pimples (pustules).

People with severe (deep, or cystic) acne have numerous large, red, painful pus-filled lumps (nodules) that sometimes even join together under the skin into giant, oozing abscesses.

Exfoliate on a daily to weekly basis to help get rid of dead skin cells that can worsen acne.
