What is acne?

The medical name of acne is Acne Vulgaris. It is a kind of skin disease that affects the oil glands present at the root of hair follicles. Acne results from the combined action of skin cells, hair and sebum secreted from the oil glands, which together form a mass and get infected by bacteria. This causes a swelling and a pimple begins to form. Finally, the pimple breaks down and puss comes out of it.

Who is more likely to get acne?

Acne leaves spots on skin and usually appears between 12 to 25 years of age. Adolescent boys are affected by acne more than girls of the same age group. Some people get acne even on their neck, chest and back and this problem can sometimes be very sever.

What are the causes of acne?

There is no particular reason that can be attributed to the cause of acne, but according to some experts the outburst of acne is because of rise in the androgen level- a hormone that is released at a higher level during adolescence. This hormone is the culprit behind overactive oil glands that increase in size and the excessive sebum breaks down the walls of the cell in the pores of the skin allowing bacterial growth.

Acne can be genetic or may be the result of some medication that androgen and lithium as components. People who are susceptible to acne can get it by using greasy cosmetics. Pregnant women can also develop acne.
