What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition
caused by inflammation of the
hair follicles and oil-producing
(sebaceous) glands of the skin.
Hair follicles are the tiny
tubes that hold the hair in the
scalp.
Acne may begin during puberty, and affects
about 80 percent of all adolescents. It
occurs when skin cells are not being shed
normally, and these sticky cells block the
skin's hair follicles. This traps a body oil
called sebum, which is produced by nearby
sebaceous glands. The blocked, oil- filled
follicle then causes the bacteria normally
in the hair follicles to multiply. This
leads to inflammation, redness and the
formation of pimples (pustules).
In adolescents, acne flare-ups probably are
related to a natural increase in androgen
hormones during the teen years. Hereditary
factors also contribute to the problem.
Other factors that can lead to acne include
the use of oily cosmetics, humidity, heavy
sweating, and problems with the ovaries or
adrenal glands. Acne also can be triggered
by drugs such as lithium or steroids, both
the type that are prescribed by physicians
and potentially harmful "body-building"
steroids, Acne is not related to diet or
poor hygiene. In fact, too much washing can
cause an acne flare-up to get worse.

Symptoms
Acne can cause: Blackheads and
whiteheads (comedones) — Comedones
are enlarged hair follicles filled with
sebum. Blackheads are comedones that have
opened to the skin's surface. The color of
the sebum makes them appear black.
Whiteheads
are comedones that are closed on the
surface.
Pimples (pustules) —
Pustules are inflamed hair follicles. The
bacteria in the follicle multiply,
attracting infection-fighting cells, which
release substances that cause irritation and
redness. The follicle then ruptures, and
spills the contents into the surrounding
skin, which causes more inflammation.
Nodules and cysts — These
are larger infections of the hair follicles
that extend deeper into the skin, forming
firm, deep bumps and swellings. Like
pimples, they are caused by increased sebum
production and the growth of bacteria, which
cause irritation and redness.
In girls and women, acne often flares up
during the menstrual cycle or ovulation.
