Causes of Acne

Acne and sebaceous gland activity. These microorganisms are always present on the surface of healthy skin, and are part of the normal microflora.
violation of the circulation of certain hormones. Human skin - is a complex hormone-elements: hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands. Under the influence of hormones increases the synthesis of sebum. Given that acne vulgaris usually appear at puberty, when an active sex glands begin to function, a significant role in the development of acne is assigned sex hormones. Acne occur in women with menstrual irregularities, chronic administration of androgens or anabolic hormones. For this kind of skin diseases like acne vulgar is, the important predisposing factors are the increase in male hormones in the blood, as well as increased sensitivity of hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the male hormone and the combination of these factors.
genetic predisposition. Significant role in the development of acne is a genetic predisposition (certain type of genetically secretion of the sebaceous glands). Among the possible factors in the development of acne - a significant reduction in zinc content in blood serum of patients with acne and the state of immune status.
Symptoms of Acne
There are noninflammatory and inflammatory acne.
Noninflammatory acne are the following types:
Inflammatory acne are superficial and deep.
The majority of patients on the face and body are non-inflammatory acne, superficial pustules.
The most common acne vulgaris, or youth, are found in 80% of those aged 15-24 years. The disease usually begins in adolescence and is characterized by the appearance of the face (at least - on the chest and back) comedones, fine of up to 5 mm in diameter tubercles bright red color, sometimes with pustules on the surface. Eruptions, allow, leave pigmentation, at least - superficial scars. Increased excretion of fat, the skin has a characteristic greasy luster, greasy hair and possibly a slight thinning of the hair.
The disease usually progresses to more advanced forms, the number of comedones increasing, the mouth of hair follicles dilate and gape. Comedones arise not only on the face, back and chest, but in the BTE areas on the scalp, an inflammatory reaction around the comedo becomes more pronounced, forming large deep-lying inflammatory sites. A few weeks later softened inflamed site, revealed the formation of a cavity, from which stands out stringy pus. After healing of the skin are deep disfiguring scars.
The most common form of acne conglobata is a pronounced inflammatory acne. acne characterized by the appearance on the back, chest and face major components, which are located deep in the skin, sometimes exciting the upper sections of the subcutaneous fat. The nodes can reach 1.5-2 cm in diameter. These units are extremely painful. Merging, the nodes form a conglomerate, there may be abscesses, which remain after the opening of non healing ulcers, and later - the severe scarring of the jumpers and the fistulous passages.
Sometimes a deep-seated inflamed nodes merge and form a skin sinus tracts, as it were "undermining" the face and torso, - sinus acne.
One of the rare variants of inflammatory acne is acne lightning. Most lightning suffer from acne young men. In this disease there are multiple types of painful ulcerating inflammatory nodes, pustules, located on reddened skin. The process is accompanied by fever, pains in the joints. Healing of ulcerations occurs with the formation of rough scars.
Pyoderma is rarely encountered a person - an inflammatory and severe form of acne. Pyoderma person more likely to suffer young women with a history of emotional stress or previously treated with androgens on the endocrine diseases. Pyoderma is characterized by sudden onset and rapid progression. In all patients, the process is localized in the central part of the face, the forehead, temples and chin. There is a pronounced swelling of the face with a bluish tinge of the skin, and in 1-2 days - painful nodular lesions, large (more than 5 mm) ulcers. There is a lack of comedones and sharp boundaries of expression of inflammation.
Treatment for Acne
For the treatment of various forms of acne use various techniques, the choice of which depends on the individual patient. Rational therapy is determined by disease-causing factors, which include increased production of sebum, reproduction probationary that supports the inflammatory process. If you take into account the duration of the treatment assignment process, its prevalence, severity, and type of skin and sebum. Of great importance are assessment of psycho-emotional sphere, social status and social adaptation of the patient. Nutritional factors, different kinds of food, diet is not important for the development of acne and selection of therapy.
Acne No More program includes both local and systemic medications that affect the formation of sebum, remove epithelium, slow reproduction, or destroying the microbes on the skin.Outdoor therapy does not affect the formation of sebum. Various anti-inflammatory agents, exfoliating agents may only temporarily reduce the amount of sebum. However, when using cleaning agents should not resort to peeling off the drugs, which can cause irritation of the skin, pustules injury.The most commonly used combination therapy that affects and inflamed that reduces sebum production.
