Acne FAQ
Simply, acne is when pores are plugged caused by overactive oil glands. Acne is a disease which affects the tiny pores that cover the face, arms, back and chest and the oil glands attached to them. Acne is caused when dried sebum, flaked skin and bacteria collect in the skins pores blocking the natural oils. Treatment is available. A partial blockage causes a restriction in the flow of oil onto the skins surface. This causes the oil filling the hair channel to solidify forming a blackhead. If the partial blockage becomes complete the oil builds up around the hair and becomes infected with bacteria normally present on the skin. If the inflammation is deep and severe, or if the spot is manipulated or squeezed, the pus can burst deep into the skin rather than onto the surface. This deep-rooted inflammation and infection results in scarring and cyst formation. If treatment is started during the early stages the chance of
severe breakouts are drastically reduced.
