Acne is caused by clogged hair follicles, which are small pores in the skin. Sebaceous glands are small glands that are located near the skin's surface. Hair follicles are little pores in your skin where a single hair grows out of, and the glands are related to them.
To keep the hair and skin from drying out, sebaceous glands lubricate them. This is accomplished through the production of sebum, an oily material.Acne occurs when sebaceous glands create excessive amounts of sebum. Excess sebum combines with dead skin , forming a follicular blockage.
A whitehead forms when a blocked follicle is close to the skin's surface and bulges outwards. The clogged follicle might also be open to the skin, resulting in a blackhead. Normal skin bacteria can subsequently contaminate and infect the clogged follicles, resulting in papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts.
The severity of your acne can determine what type of treatment you should look out for and receive.
Acne can often be categorized as:
Mild: with a few papules and pustules, predominantly whiteheads and blackheads. (A papule is a little red mound on the skin, while a pustule is a small bump that contains pus or fluid on the skin)
Moderate: numerous papules and pustules, with many more whiteheads and blackheads
Severe: a lot of big, painful papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts, as well as possible scarring.
Signs of acne:
→ Excessive oily skin
→ Pustules
→ Papules
→ Whiteheads
