Causes

It is every one’s dream to have clear beautiful skin but acne is one skin problem which every teenager dreads. The skin contains oil producing glands called sebaceous glands which are in close association with the hair follicles (skin pores). The dead skin cells are expelled from the same passage as sebum but when there is excess of secretion the passage may get clogged leading to accumulation of sebum and dead cells leading to acne formation. The oily sebum also acts as a good medium for bacteria to thrive and may lead to pus formation in some cases. The factors which trigger acne formation are:

  • Hormones- There appears a link between acne and hormones. Spurt in acne is seen during puberty when there is increase in production of Androgens and testosterone, similarly more acne is seen in women at menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause. Beside these women suffering from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOD) and those on certain hormonal medicines also show a tendency for acne formation.
  • Genetics- the predisposition to develop acne seems to be a hereditary tendency
  • Stress- causes secretion of endorphin hormones which in turn seems to trigger hormonal changes leading to acne formation
  • Infections- certain bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes and mites like Demodex are suspected to cause acne
  • Diet- sweets, caffeine, oily and spicy foods, red meat, food having high glycaemic index, excess of vitamin B12 may be related to acne formation.
  • Other factors- pollution, leaving face creams and other cosmetic creams overnight on face may cause acne.

  • Acne inversa or Hidradenitis suppurativa – characterized inflamed swollen lumps in arm pits, groin region and under breasts. Though referred as acne as it does not involve increased production of sebum or comedone formation hence it is considered as separate condition.
  • Acne Rosacea- mainly affects the face. It is called rosacea for the facial redness it causes. Besides redness, pimples, swellings, dilated blood vessels and a bulbous nose are seen. It generally occurs in adults and as it does not involve comedone formation it is not considered as acne.
