1. Acne- Know How It Forms And Get Clear Skin
Acne forms near the opening of the sebaceous glands that have hair follicle in them. In
normal circumstances, the cells that form the wall of the gland should exfoliate from the
pore opening. In certain circumstances these cells become dysfunctional and instead of
exfoliating normally, block the pore opening.
In the meantime, the glands keep producing sebum and if hormonal disturbance is present
the glands produce sebum at a higher rate. This sebum keeps filling the gland sack and
the bacteria called Proprionobacterium acnes (P. acnes) thrive in the atmosphere that is
full of sebum and no air. As the bacteria flourishes, the gland gets infected.
At this stage when the bacteria are flourishing and causing inflammation, the gland is
producing more sebum and the pore is blocked, the gland becomes very infective and full
of dead cells, bacteria, pus and dead skin. This is what we call as a papule or a cyst. The
acne grows through different stages and this is the last stage after which the gland
ruptures.
Thus acne is not a single stage disease but many causes join together to progressively
increase the intensity of acne formation. Teenagers get more acne because the hormonal
balance of their body changes during that period. The hormone androgen is normally
responsible for accelerating the production of sebum.
Doctors try to intervene during the process of formation of acne and its growth and try to
prevent formation of cyst that may scar the skin forever. The same hormonal disturbance
is responsible for acne outbreak in some women during their menstrual cycles.
