Understanding the cause of acne helps to understand how to treat acne.

What is Acne

Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria.

Each pore of the skin is the opening to a follicle. The follicle is made up of a hair fibre and a sebaceous (oil) gland. The oil gland releases sebum (oil), which travels up the hair, out of the pore, and onto your skin.  

Cystic acne commonly increases in your thirties as this is when the skin is most susceptible to hormonal changes. The hormonal shifts affect the oil glands and sebaceous glands of the skin.   

Acne typically appears on your face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders because these areas of skin have the most oil (sebaceous) glands. Hair follicles are connected to oil glands.

The follicle wall may bulge and produce a whitehead. Or the plug may be open to the surface and darken, causing a blackhead. A blackhead may look like dirt stuck in pores. But actually the pore is congested with bacteria and oil, which turns brown when it's exposed to the air.

Four main factors cause acne:

  • Excess oil (sebum) production
  • Hair follicles clogged by oil and dead skin cells
  • Bacteria
  • Inflammation

Certain things may trigger or worsen acne:

  • Hormonal changes. Androgens are hormones that increase during puberty and cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and increase sebum. Hormone changes during midlife, particularly in women, can lead to breakouts too.
  • Certain medications. Examples include drugs containing corticosteroids, testosterone or lithium.
  • Diet. Studies indicate that consuming certain foods — including carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread, bagels and chips — may worsen acne.
  • Stress. Stress doesn't cause acne, but if you have acne already, stress may make it worse.

How do I get rid of Acne?

Understanding the cause of acne helps to understand how to treat the acne.Topical solutions that can kill the bacteria and unclog the pores is a great place to start for any acne routine. Improving fluid intake and dietary intake can reduce the causes of acne significantly. By drinking more water, can ensure that you won't suffer from severe pimples and acne. The more hydrated the skin, the less your pores will clog. 

Acne and skin Blemishes develop in specific zones because of internal issues, which may include high blood pressure, dehydration, and digestive wellbeing, or even as a complaint from another organ in the body, such as the 'angry' liver.
