1. The General
1-1.What is acne and what causes it?
Acne is the most common skin problem amongst adolescents and most teenagers.
The hair pores in the skin contain sebaceous in oil glands. These
glands make sebum, which is an oil that lubricates hair and skin.
Most of the time the glands make the right amount of sebum, and the
pores are fine. But sometimes a pore gets clogged up with too much
sebum, dead skin cells, and even bacterial germs, and acne can develop.
In such cases a whitehead is usually formed. The material may turn
black, and a blackhead or comedone occurs.
Often these discharge onto the skin spontaneously
or when a little pressure is applied, however some can remain closed.
In such cases as further sebum is produced the comedone becomes larger
and a pustule may form. If the pustule continues to grow, a painful
cyst may develop. This may penetrate into the deeper layers of the
skin and leave unattractive scars after being emptied out.
Acne develops on those areas of the skin where
sebaceous glands are most numerous: the face, scalp, neck, chest,
back, upper arms and shoulders. Bacteria are often present in acne
lesions. However, acne is not infectious. It is due to an interaction
of normal skin bacteria associated with the overproduction of sebum.
If a pore gets clogged up, closes, and bulges out from the skin, people
are left with a whitehead. If a pore gets clogged up but stays open,
the top surface can darken and people are left with a blackhead. Sometimes
the walls of the pore are broken, allowing sebum, bacteria, and dead
skin cells to make their way under the skin - and people are left
with a small, red infection called a pimple. Clogged up pores that
open up deep in the skin can cause cysts, which are infections that
are bigger than pimples.
1-2. Why do so many
people get acne?
People get acne because of all the hormones that come
with puberty. As body begins to mature and develop, these hormones
stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum, or oil, and the
glands become overactive. When there is too much sebum, it clogs the
pores and leads to acne.
1-3. The Origin of Acne
The only real cause of acne is overactive oil glands in the skin -
and that's it. Acne isn't caused by eating greasy foods like french
fries or pizza, chomping on chocolate, or drinking dark sodas. Acne
is not caused by poor hygiene. So, please just let acne run it's course.
And stress doesn't usually cause acne but can worsen it at times because
more sebum is usually produced when people are stressed out.
1-4. What can we do about acne?
To help prevent the oil build-up that can contribute to acne, wash
face twice a day with soap and warm water. Don't scrub face hard with
a washcloth - acne can't be scrubbed away, and scrubbing may actually
make it worse by irritating the skin.
- If wearing makeup, make sure it's oil-free, noncomedogenic, or
nonacnegenic. This means it won't clog pores and contribute to acne.
- When washing face, be sure to take the time to remove all of makeup.
- If using hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from face,
as they can also clog up pores.
- If having long hair that touches face, be sure to wash it frequently
enough to keep oil away.
There are many lotions and creams available at the drugstore to help
prevent acne and clear it up at the same time.
1-5. How to treat acne?
- For treatment of mild to moderate acne, products with benzoyl peroxide
are usually effective enough for treating acne.
- Patients with severe acne (especially cystic acne) who do not respond
to other therapies can be treated with Roaccutane. Roaccutane dramatically
reduces the formation of grease by the sebaceous glands, decreases
the number of bacteria and reduces the skin inflammation. A four to
six month course is usually required, after which most patients have
virtually no acne and many will not need oral treatment again.
Most patients experience some side effects while
taking Roaccutane. The more common side effects include dry skin,
cracked lips, dry eyes and occasionally elevated levels in blood fats.
Yet, if you are pregnant, or you intend to become
pregnant, you are breastfeeding, then you are advised not to take
Roaccutane. Also you are prohibited to take the medicine if you have
mental illness, strange feeling or abnormal ideas.
- Antibiotics
Oral antibiotics work by reducing bacteria and minimising the amount
of inflammation. Antibiotics do not address the other causative factors
in acne and may take several weeks or months to clear up acne. There
are several products available and they are usually given twice daily
for at least 6 months. Side effects are uncommon, and usually consist
of indigestion and diarrhea.
- Contraceptive Pill
A type of hormonal contraceptive pill can also be prescribed for acne.
Oral contraceptives, being female hormones, help to counteract the
effect of male hormones on acne. Because they are female hormones
their use is limited to female patients.
- Salicylic acid is used as a peeling or drying agent.
