it prevents harmful bacteria from entering the skin. Although it is not the
cause of acne, it can play a role in making it worse.When oil becomes trapped,
P. acnes grows in the blocked pore, ultimately resulting in inflammation and

Homemade acne treatments. What Causes Acne?

Statistics suggest that heredity (family history) is a strong predisposing factor
for the development of acne. The major physiological factors contributing
to the formation of acne are overactive oil glands, blocked skin pores, activity
of normal skin bacteria, overgrowth of fungal organisms, diet, hormonal stimulation
of the oil glands, and inflammation.
 
Overactive Oil Glands
Oil glands (or sebaceous glands) produce sebum, which flows to the surface of
the skin through canals containing hair follicles, to lubricate the hair follicles
and the surrounding skin. Oil glands are stimulated to produce sebum by androgens,
which are hormones produced by both males and females. Puberty,
stress, and hormonal shifts can cause the body to produce more androgens, and

What Is Acne?

What Is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition caused by oils that get trapped in the pores,
forming whiteheads or blackheads (comedones), which can subsequently
become infected and inflamed, resulting in pimples or cysts. Because they
contain the highest concentration of oil glands, the face, neck, chest, shoulders,
and back are usually the most affected areas of the body. Acne ranges in development
from very mild to extremely severe.Although generally not dangerous,
it can cause scarring and emotional trauma.
Common acne usually affects people in their teen years, with three out of
four developing symptoms. Although both sexes develop acne, boys tend to have
more severe, longer-lasting acne.While teens are the most affected group, acne
is also common in people in their twenties, and can even occur in children, or
in adults in their thirties, forties, or fifties.
