ACNE

Acne

Acne (pimples) is a skin condition where the oil glands that are present at the base of your hair follicle get blocked due to excess oil and dead skin. Acne happens because of the excessive reaction of sebaceous gland to increased hormone levels especially testosterone. The extra sebum blocks the pores around hair follicles. the dead skin cells which otherwise come out of the pores gets trapped. the mixture of sebum and dead cells gives rise to acne.

Acne is very common in face, neck and back. These may be whiteheads, blackheads and also few pus filled lesions. Nearly every one of us faces this problem at sometime or other. For some it is easily identified problem, for others it may be more troublesome. While some may develop acne during adolescence , for others it may start in their adulthood. Genetic factors, hormonal causes and environmental influences like diet – all have a role in producing, maintaining or exacerbating acne. Most people affected by acne are stressed , embarrassed about it.
