Effective Acne Treatments
Overview
Acne is a common skin condition affecting people of all ages, genders, and races. It often appears on visible areas such as the face, neck, chest, and back. Understanding and treating acne requires knowledge of its causes and potential remedies.
Causes of Acne
Acne can result from various factors, including:
- Oily Substances: Contact with mineral oil, vegetable oil, or petroleum can lead to acne.
- Medications: Certain drugs, such as steroids or contraceptive pills, may trigger outbreaks.
- Hormones: Androgens, male hormones also present in females, are often responsible for acne, especially during puberty. They increase oil production in the skin’s glands, which can lead to blocked pores and inflammation.
- Bacteria: Propionibacterium acnes, a bacterium, often colonizes blocked glands, leading to inflammation and pus.
- Other Factors: Fungal infections and a clogged colon may also contribute to acne.
