Skin Concerns: Acne

What Is Acne?

There are a lot of us suffering due to an unwelcome guest – Acne. It is a very common issue faced by millions of people worldwide, including older people and not only young adults. Acne is easily mistaken by some as a normal skin infection, or something that you just have to live with, but that shouldn’t be the case. Acne is actually quite complex and it occurs due to an interaction between changing hormones, sebum and a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes. This is one of the main reasons why seeking professional advise is always recommended as home remedies may not always solve the problem correctly.

What Causes Acne?

The most common problem area for acne is our face, followed by other areas like arms, neck, back and chest which are less common. Acne also leaves behind some issues like pigmentation and scarring, which could just as worse to deal with. You get scars when the skin does not complete the healing process completely. Another side-effect of acne is Post-inflammatory-hyperpigmentation (PIH) which causes dark spots due to increased pigment production. These are treatable through chemical peels or even safe advanced lasers. Although, we recommend visiting an expert dermatologist to get your acne and its cause correctly diagnosed and get recommendations accordingly as it could be a variety of reasons like hormones, lifestyle, stress or heredity. In order to avoid permanent scarring on your skin, you should seek professional advise and get your skin back on track, and looking beautiful!

Signs of Acne

Blackheads

Blackheads form due to an accumulation of sebum, dead skin cells, and impurities, obstructing pores. When these substances come into contact with air, oxidation occurs, causing the distinctive black/brown hue, hence the name “blackheads.” This oxidation process tints the build-up, leading to the recognisable appearance.

Whiteheads

Whitehead pimples form when pores clog with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria under the skin’s surface. Unlike blackheads, pores stay closed, halting oxidation. Trapped substances create a white or flesh-colored bump called a whitehead. These closed comedones appear as small, raised bumps, often accompanied by inflammation.

Pustules & Cysts

Pustules, small pus-filled lesions with red bases and white or yellow centers, surface on the skin. In contrast, pimple-like cysts are deeper, larger, and more painful, appearing as swollen, pus-filled bumps beneath the skin. These cysts cause tenderness and can lead to scarring due to their deeper location and size.
