Effective Acne Treatments For Acne & Acne Scars
Acne occurs when the oil produced by the sebaceous (oil) glands cannot flow to the surface of the skin, but instead gets trapped & hardens in the pores due to excessive keratenization or build-up of dead surface cells.
The oil glands do not know to stop producing sebum just because the skins' surface is clogged & thus the pore walls bulge as the pressure increases, and due to the anarobic environment which is caused due to the lack of oxygen; white heads will often form & infection sets in as the pore walls rupture. Once the pore is overfull it will rupture & the infection will travel to adjacent spaces, creating an inflamed cyst. Although these cysts require draining to relieve pressure & reduce further infection, this should not be done by an untrained person, as long term scarring & other complications can result.
If the follicle stays open, the oils on the surface of the plug darken due to oxidation, causing a blackhead. In both cases, the bacteria, P. Acnes, thrives in the clogged follicles.
Hormonal fluctuations caused by: adolescence, elevated levels of androgenic hormones, menstrual periods, birth control pills, menopause, stress or commedogenic based skin products can also contribute to acne later in life.
