HOW DOES ACNE DEVELOP?

There are four basic events involved in the development of acne lesions.

• Hair follicles become blocked with an overabundance of normal skin cells. These cells combine with sebum (an oily substance that lubricates the hair and skin), creating a plug in the follicle.
• The glands that produce sebum, known as sebaceous glands, enlarge during adolescence and sebum production increases.
• The increase in sebum production allows for the overgrowth of a bacterium called Cutibacterium acnes that normally lives on the skin.
• Inflammation occurs as a result of bacterial overgrowth or other factors. This can lead to the rupture of the follicle and the formation of a red or tender pimple.

ACNE CAUSES

• Hormonal changes
  Hormonal changes during adolescence cause the sebaceous glands to become enlarged, and sebum production increases. Acne can flare before a woman's menstrual period too.
• External factors
  Oil-based cosmetics such as oily foundations, sunscream cream and moisturizer contains large molecular size oils that can clock pores and may contribute to the development of acne. Water-based or "non-comedogenic" products are less likely to worsen acne.
• Stress and Poor Sleep Patterns
  Psychological stress can probably worsen acne.
• Unbalanced Diets
