Acne Treatment
What is Acne?
Acne is the most common skin disease
affecting young adults. It
is a disorder of the skin’s oil glands that causes overproduction
of sebum (oil) which leads to plugged pores. Acne
most commonly occurs on the face, neck and back. Teenagers are
affected the most by acne; however it is not uncommon for it
to occur in adults.
What causes Acne?
The exact cause for acne is unknown but there are certain factors
that play a role in causing acne. Hormonal changes that
occur during puberty can cause oil glands to enlarge and produce
more oil causing pores to get plugged. In addition, bacteria
called P. acnes, which is normally found in the skin,
can multiply in these plugged pores and cause inflammation. Acne
can also be genetic and run in families.
