What Is Acne?

Acne is a very common skin condition that many people faced. Acne is a skin disorder affecting the hair follicle and sebaceous gland, in which there is blockage of the follicle and inflammation. It occurs when the pores of your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria. Most often, the outbreaks occur on the face but can also appear on the back, chest, and shoulders.

Types of Acne

Acne pimples vary in different size, color, and levels of pain. Also, acne can occur almost anywhere on the body and is most common on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders. Identifying which type of acne you’re experiencing is key to successful treatment.

Whiteheads

Plugged hair follicles that stay under the skin and produce a small white bump.

Blackheads

Plugged follicles that reach the surface of the skin and clearly visible. They look black on the skin surface because the air discolors the sebum, not because they are dirty. 

Papules

Inflamed lesions that usually appear as small, pink bumps on the surface of the skin and can be tender to the touch. 

Pustules or pimples

Clearly visible on the surface of the skin. It is topped by white or yellow pus-filled lesions that may be red at the base.

Nodules

Clearly visible on the surface of the skin. Large, painful solid lesions that are embedded deep in the skin.

Severe nodular acne (sometimes called cystic acne)

Deep, painful, pus-filled lesions. It is also clearly visible on the surface of the skin and can cause scars.

Who gets Acne?

Everyone has acne. Acne affects males and females of all races and ethnicity. It is not only common in adolescents and young adults but sometimes in children and adults as well. That means people can get acne at almost any age. Acne is also a growing problem for women over the age of 25. Most of these women develop acne in their teens and continue to develop acne as adults. Some of these women had teenage acne that cleared. Many years later, they may have acne again. About 20 to 40 percent of women with adult acne experience acne for the first time as adults. For most people, acne tends to go away by the time they reach their thirties, but some people in their forties and fifties still have this skin problem.

What causes acne?

There are three processes that lead to the formation of acne:

• Oil glands are overactive.
• Hair follicles are clogged by oil and dead skin cells.
• Bacteria grow in the pores, then leading to acne breakouts.

Other factors that may increase the likelihood of acne breakouts include:

• Hormones
• Emotional stress
• Genetics
• Environmental irritants
• Medications

What you can do now?

Seeing a doctor is the best way you can get a full and accurate diagnosis. In some cases, expert facial treatment may be the only way to completely clear and control acne. You should also be careful not to use too many acne products at once – this can dry out the skin. In response, your pores produce more sebum, which then leads to more acne problems. You need to choose the right product for your skin, or you can seek help from the doctor for choosing suitable products for acne.
