Acne is a common skin condition that can affect individuals of all skin types and ages. It is often caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and environmental influences.
The formation of acne occurs when androgen hormones stimulate the overproduction of sebum (oil), which, along with dead skin cells and debris, becomes trapped in the pores. Acne bacteria, which naturally exists on healthy skin, can proliferate in blocked pores, leading to inflammation and making the skin more susceptible to other bacteria like staphylococcus aureus.
Acne can be categorised into different grades based on its severity:
Grade 1: Mild acne characterized by blackheads and papules
Grade 2: Moderate acne with blackheads, pustules, and papules
Grade 3: Moderate to severe inflammation with blackheads, pustules, and papules
Grade 4: Severe inflammation with blackheads, pustules, and papules
Increased sebum production can lead to clogged pores and acne formation
The shedding of dead skin cells can mix with oil and block hair follicles
The presence of certain bacteria, particularly Propionibacterium acnes, can contribute to inflammation and the formation of acne
Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstruation, or hormonal disorders, can trigger acne
There is a genetic predisposition to developing acne, with a family history of the condition increasing the likelihood of experiencing acne
