What are the Causes of Acne?

Acne occurs when sebaceous (oil) glands attached to the hair follicles are stimulated to produce more sebum than required. Sebum is a natural oil that lubricates the skin and hair. Excess sebum is produced when the body starts to mature at the time of puberty or due to other hormonal changes. Because of the increased oil production and too many dead skin cells, the pores get clogged. If bacteria settle in the pores they can multiply which can lead to swelling and redness resulting in acne. Acne appears on the skin as:

Whitehead

Whitehead appears on the skin when a pore is clogged and it closes. This causes a tiny bump as the skin enlarges and more sebum is produced.

Blackhead

 When a pore remains open, it is exposed to dirt which gets trapped in the pore. The top darkens up, leading to the appearance of a blackhead.

Pimple

When a pore opens, sometimes bacteria and dead skin cells get under the skin. This leads to a small red bump called a pimple.

Cyst

Cysts are infected bumps that occur due to clogged pores that open very deep into the skin. These are larger than pimples and can be painful.

When to start treatment ?

Almost everyone gets acne at some point in time. Most of the time acne goes away if the skin is properly cared for. However, if your acne starts to bother you or if you detect any scarring on your face, it might be the time to see a dermatologist

A doctor can treat acne with prescription drugs. Depending on the person’s acne, this could mean using prescription creams that prevent pimples from erupting, taking antibiotics to kill the bacteria that contribute to the formation of pimples, or for severe acne, taking stronger medications like isotretinoin, or even minor surgery performed. Some girls find birth control pills to help get rid of their acne.

• Lasers are used for the treatment of acne with special lights and devices. This treatment is safe and can be very effective. Currently, laser acne treatment is best seen as an addition to conventional therapy, rather than a replacement.
