Acne - Meaning and Introduction
Acne is a type of skin disease that is mainly caused due to
excessive secretion of oil called sebum. Basically, the function
of this oil is to regulate the skin texture and body hair by
reasonably moistening it. It is produced by the sebaceous glands
present in the skin. But, due to excessive lubrication, you
easily become prone to development of congested pores on the
skin surface. These pores give rise to various skin bumps such
as cysts, blackheads and whiteheads, pimples etc.
There are various types of bumps, which vary in nature. Cyst is
a condition where your skin is covered with a tiny sac that is
filled with fluid. In the case of whiteheads, the pores get
blocked with sebum and protrude slightly outward. When the pores
stay open and are filled with sebum, they get darkened from the
outside surface and it is called blackhead. It is known as a
pimple, when the pores get exposed to a different kind of
organic matter such as bacteria and other germs. A reddish
colored swelling will be noticed.
Acne is commonly found between the age group of 10 to 40 years.
You can find a quicker treatment, if you have thorough knowledge
regarding the causes and how they should be treated. You can
meet with the drug store or cosmetic center and find medicines
for yourself. In case it is not easy to understand your actual
skin condition, you can consult a physician and follow his
prescription.
