Acne - The Causes
When an individual attains his period of puberty, the male
hormones present in the adrenal gland of both boys and girls,
stimulate the oil glands present underneath the skin. In the
usual process, these oil glands lubricate and protect the skin
through the openings called pores. But sometimes, the cells that
are located near the openings of the skin, block the pores
present. In this case the oil content gets accommodated below
the skin surface. Therefore, the germs such as bacteria or any
other microorganism present in the blood prey upon this oily
food. These organisms later on multiply and cause irritation to
the surrounding tissues.
Due to the inflammation of skin various types of bumps are
noticed. You develop a pustule if the itch persists near the
surface. If it gets deeper you get a pimple, which is also known
as papule and still deeper it results in cysts. When the pores
close with the sebum content on the surface and bulge out, it is
whitehead and if the oil gets rusted due to the opened pores you
will notice a black colored swelling called blackhead.
The origin of pimples is still unknown. There are still a few
issues, which are not brought to light. Nobody exactly knows why
the pores collapse and pack the sebum content within the skin
area underneath or nobody even has studied as how this process
spreads from one sebaceous gland to another.
The causes of developing adult or teen acne may be mainly due to
hormone factor, or heredity, diet factor, lack of vitamin
deficiency, stress and much more. It is not at all simple to
explain why a disease like acne happens to many of the
teenagers.
