How does acne develope???

Answer 1

Acne develops when your pores become clogged. Keeping your skin clean and proper diet help but aren't a total cure. Some people end up going to the doctor for help.

Cause Of Acne:

Acne is not caused by your diet, scientific studies have confirmed this. So, eating pizza, chocolate, potato chips or fries will not result in an acne breakout, you may gain weight, or rot your teeth out, but you won't get acne from foods. (If you find that certain foods affect your skin negatively, which may turn out to be a food allergy, avoid them).

Acne is not caused by dirty skin, you know, that dirt or surface oil on the body due to poor hygiene? A lack of hygiene is also not to blame for blackheads (those dark specs that appear on the face, especially around the T-zone, on the bridge of the nose, back, chest, shoulders and upper arms). The "black" in a blackhead is not dirt, it's dried oil and shed skin cells in the openings of the hair follicles. So, excessive washing and scrubbing will only make the condition worse.

So, now that you know you can eat anything you want and you don't have to take a shower either...(only kidding)...What causes acne???

Acne is a medical condition caused by four key factors:

* Hormones, especially during puberty
* Enlargement of sebaceous glands attached to hair follicles
* Increased sebum (oil) production
* Bacteria

How does acne develope?

Acne is caused by overactive oil glands (sebaceous glands), stimulated by the hormone androgen, mixing with dead skin cells, which leads to plugged pores and outbreaks. This is particularly true during the teenage years when androgen production is at its highest.

Acne begins in the hair follicles. Sebaceous glands, which are attached to the hair follicle just below the skin's surface, produce an oil called sebum. Normally, sebum empties onto the skin's surface to lubricate the skin. But when cells that are shed from the follicle lining stick together, they form plugs that prevent the sebum from exiting the pore. This is especially common during adolescence, when cells from the follicle lining shed more rapidly. Rising hormone levels during puberty cause the sebaceous glands to get bigger and produce more oil. The mixture of oil and cells helps bacteria to grow, eventually breaking the walls of the follicles. That's when sebum, bacteria and shed skin cells collect under the skin, causing inflammation, pain, redness and pus, causing acne.

Answer 4

Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory disease of the skin, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots or zits.

Exactly why some people get acne and some do not is not fully known. It is known to be partly hereditary. Several factors are known to be linked to acne:

* Hormonal activity, such as menstrual cycles and puberty
* Stress, through increased output of hormones from the adrenal (stress) glands.
* Hyperactive sebaceous glands, secondary to the three hormone sources above.
* Accumulation of dead skin cells.
* Bacteria in the pores, to which the body becomes 'allergic'.
* Skin irritation or scratching of any sort will activate inflammation.
* Use of anabolic steroids.
* Any medication containing halogens (iodides, chlorides, bromides), lithium, barbiturates, or androgens.
* Exposure to high levels of chlorine compounds, particularly chlorinated dioxins, can cause severe, long-lasting acne, known as Chloracne.

Traditionally, attention has focused mostly on hormone-driven over-production of sebum as the main contributing factor of acne. More recently, more attention has been given to narrowing of the follicle channel as a second main contributing factor. Abnormal shedding of the cells lining the follicle, abnormal cell binding ("hyperkeratinization") within the follicle, and water retention in the skin (swelling the skin and so pressing the follicles shut) have all been put forward as mechanisms involved.

Several hormones have been linked to acne: the male hormones testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), as well as insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I). In addition, acne-prone skin has been shown to be insulin resistant.

Development of acne vulgaris in latter years is uncommon, although this is the age group for Rosacea which may have similar appearances. True acne vulgaris in older adults may be a feature of an underlying condition such as pregnancy and disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome or the rare Cushing's syndrome.

Answer 5

These are the harmonal changes and in some they secreation of harmones is more that leads to acne develope but there are medicines for all this. consult a skin specialist.

Answer 6

Sebum clogs your pores and turns into a pimple.
If you over pop your pimples it can rupture underneath the skin causing more pimples.
Wash your face nightly to clear pores.

Answer 8

too much oil, not enough water, too little sleep, too much dirt, not clean enough, not enough skin protection.. stuff like that..

Acne usually occur on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders.
