Acne -Natural Skin Problem


we are straddled with a variety of skin disorders like Skin Allergies, Skin Rash, Fungal Infection like Ring Worm and Acne. The patches due to infection and the scars due to acne are not only causes of itchy skin but also make us irritable and can cause great psychological trauma due to the disfigurement of our face and body.

the Acne is a provocative disease of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles of the skin that is marked by the eruption of pimples or pustules, especially on the face.
Also Acne occurs when the follicles get blocked. Sebum (oil), which normally drains to the surface, gets blocked and a bacterium begins to grow.

There is several factor causes acne as acne happens when oil (sebaceous) glands come to life around puberty, when these glands are stimulated by male hormones that are produced in the adrenal glands of both boys and girls. The oil glands, which are located just beneath the skin, continuously produce and secrete oil through openings in the skin. The oil lubricates and protects the skin. Under certain circumstances, cells that are close to the openings of the oil glands block the openings. This causes a buildup of oil underneath the skin. Bacteria, which live in everyone’s skin but generally mind their own business, feast on this oil, multiply, and cause the surrounding tissues to become inflamed.

Treatments of Acne:-

Conventional treatments for acne are usually quite successful. They can include cleansing agents and lotions made with benzyl peroxide, gels or creams made modified forms of vitamin A, and antibiotics applied to the skin or taken orally. The risk of scarring is an important factor when considering the type of treatment.
