Causes of acne

It is totally normal to suffer from acne at some point in our lives, but have you ever wondered what causes it?

Although it is correct that those two factors can influence the appearance of a pimple or pimple, in some cases the causes that trigger a terrible outbreak of acne go far beyond ordinary circumstances.

Acne occurs on the forehead, chin, cheeks, chest, upper back and shoulders as these areas contain a large amount of oil production by the sebaceous glands, even glands see the hair follicles and this causes the pore is full of bacteria and infection and inflammation develop.

How does acne occur and evolve?

A microcomedone is a comedo (sebaceous grain) so small that a microscope must be used to visualize, microcomedones originate when it increases dead cells in the skin. Normally these dissolve without any complications, but in people who suffer from acne the process turns into inflammatory reactions.

External factors such as seborrhea and the increase in hyperkeratosis are mainly the cause of the growth of bacteria and are those that cause blackheads and  pimples.

What is seborrhea and hyperkeratosis?

The production in exaggerated amounts of sebum is called seborrhea. The sebaceous glands secrete a substance of fatty matter that we know as sebum, this gland is responsible for keeping the scalp and our skin soft. When we have an excess of sebum in our skin, our layers are affected and that fat interferes with the natural process and triggers an accumulation of fat and later inflammation.

While hyperkeratosis is the irregular growth of the outer layers of the skin, it is generated by the exaggerated manufacturing of skin cells in the conductors of the sebaceous glands. When a proper exfoliation of dead cells is not applied, excess sebum adheres to the surface blocking the glands.

And this is how pimples are formed that are a high inflation on the surface of the layer of our skin that is filled with pus and in many cases is very painful and uncomfortable. While blackheads are dark due to the oxidation of sebum and are usually in the pores.

And finally, there are pimples or closed comedones, which are small points that rise only a little from the skin layer and are covered in a milky white color, they have a similarity to pimples.
