Acne Overview:

Acne is a common skin condition characterized by the presence of pimples or “zits,” which can include whiteheads, blackheads, and red, inflamed patches of skin, such as cysts. While it often affects adolescents, it can occur at any age. The severity of acne varies from person to person, ranging from minor pimples to severe acne scarring.

Preventing Acne:

Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya emphasizes that preventing acne is better than curing it. Understanding the causes, pathology, and treatment options for acne can help prevent its long-term effects.

Types of Acne:

There are different types of acne, including:

• Whiteheads: When the top of the plug is white, it’s referred to as a whitehead.
• Blackheads: If the top of the plug is dark, it’s called a blackhead.
• Cystic Acne: Deep acne that forms hard, painful cysts is known as cystic acne.

Causes of Acne:

Acne occurs when the tiny holes on the skin’s surface, known as pores, become clogged. Each pore connects to a follicle, which contains a hair and an oil gland. Excessive oil production by these glands can lead to pore blockage. The accumulation of dirt, bacteria, and skin cells inside the pores results in a complete blockage, known as a plug or comedone. Bacteria within this plug can cause inflammation, resulting in redness and pus. The primary cause of acne is often an increase in hormones, which leads to heightened oil production and pore cell multiplication.

Contributing Factors to Acne:

Acne can be triggered or exacerbated by various factors, including:

• Hormonal changes associated with puberty, menstrual periods, pregnancy, birth control pills, or stress.
• Emotional stress due to adverse life events.
• Use of greasy or oily cosmetic and hair products.
• Clogged hair follicles resulting from oil and dead skin cell buildup.
• Bacterial growth within the pores.
• Certain medications, such as steroids, testosterone, estrogen, and phenytoin.
• High humidity levels and excessive sweating.
