Acne
This is a disease of the sebaceous glands, which occurs only during a particular age period. It starts after adolescence, and by the age of 25 years, most people stop having acne.
Patho-Physiology
Sebaceous glands are holocrine glands that occur in association with hair follicles and produce an oily secretion called sebum.
The main function of sebum is to maintain the suppleness of the skin. These glands are mostly present on the scalp, face, chest, back, shoulders, etc.
Patients having acne have an increased secretion of sebum, leading to increased oiliness of the skin.
This increased oil along with other components of sebaceous secretion and bacteria are responsible for the formation of acne lesions.
Acne Symptoms & Types
- Inflammatory papules (Pimples): Small red or pink bumps on the skin that might be painful.
- Papulo-pustules: Pus-filled bumps on the skin.
- Blackheads: Also called open comedones, filled with black plugs.
- Whiteheads: White-plugged pores, also called closed comedones.
- Cysts: Pus or fluid-filled large acne.
- Nodular Acne: The fibrosed cystic acne turns into nodular acne. It is hard and very painful.
Causes of Acne
Acne is caused by an imbalance of sex hormones:
Androgens (Male Hormones)
Increase the size of sebaceous glands and hence increase the risk of more acne.
Estrogens (Female Hormones)
Estrogens are essential for regulating reproductive health, menstrual cycles, and secondary sexual characteristics in women.
