Acne is a very common skin condition that causes pimples mostly on the face, forehead, chest, shoulders and upper back.<\/b> There are a variety of causes including genetics, fluctuating hormone levels, stress, high humidity and using oily or greasy personal care products. Acne commonly affects teenagers but can occur at any age.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

What are the different types of acne?<\/h2>\n

Acne can take several forms. They include:
\n\u2022\tBlackheads:<\/b> Open bumps on the skin that fill with excess oil and dead skin. They look as if dirt has deposited in the bump, but the dark spots are actually caused by an irregular light reflection off the clogged follicle.
\n\u2022\tWhiteheads:<\/b> Bumps that remain closed by oil and dead skin.
\n\u2022\tPapules:<\/b> Small red or pink bumps that become inflamed.
\n\u2022\tPustules:<\/b> Pimples containing pus. They look like whiteheads surrounded by red rings. They can cause scarring if picked or scratched.
\n\u2022\tFungal acne (pityrosporum folliculitis):<\/b> This type occurs when an excess of yeast develops in the hair follicles. They can become itchy and inflamed.
\n\u2022\tNodules:<\/b> Solid pimples that are deep in your skin. They are large and painful.
\n\u2022\tCysts:<\/b> Pus-filled pimples. These can cause scars.<\/p>\n

All of these forms of acne can affect your self-esteem. It\u2019s best to seek help from your healthcare provider early so they can help determine the best treatment option(s) for you.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

What causes acne?<\/h2>\n

Acne is largely a hormonal condition that\u2019s driven by androgen hormones,<\/b> which typically become active during the teenage and young adult years. Sensitivity to these hormones \u2014 combined with surface bacteria on the skin and fatty acids within oil glands \u2014 can result in acne.<\/p>\n

Certain things can cause acne and\/or make it worse:
\nFluctuating hormone levels around the time of a woman\u2019s period.
\nPicking at acne sores.
\nClothing and headgear, like hats and sports helmets.
\nAir pollution and certain weather conditions, especially high humidity.
\nUsing oily or greasy personal care products (like heavy lotions, creams or hair pomades and waxes) or working in an area where you routinely come in contact with grease (such as working at a restaurant where there are greasy food surfaces and frying oil).
\nStress, which increases the hormone cortisol, can also cause acne to flare.
\nSome medications.
\nGenetics.<\/p>\n

Prevention<\/h2>\n

Here are some tips for looking after skin that has acne or is prone to it.
\nWash your face no more than twice each day with warm water and mild soap made especially for acne.
\nDo not scrub the skin or burst the pimples, as this may push the infection further down, causing more blocking, swelling, and redness.
\nAvoid popping pimples, as this makes scarring likelier.
\nA specialist can treat a pimple that requires rapid removal for cosmetic reasons.
\nRefrain from touching the face.
\nHold the telephone away from the face when talking, as it is likely to contain sebum and skin residue.
\nWash hands frequently, especially before applying lotions, creams, or makeup.
\nClean spectacles regularly as they collect sebum and skin residue.
\nIf acne is on the back, shoulders, or chest, try wearing loose clothing to let the skin breathe. Avoid tight garments, such as headbands, caps, and scarves, or wash them regularly if used.
\nChoose makeup for sensitive skin and avoid oil-based products. Remove makeup before sleeping.
\nUse an electric shaver or sharp safety razors when shaving. Soften the skin and beard with warm soapy water before applying shaving cream.
\nKeep hair clean, as it collects sebum and skin residue. Avoid greasy hair products, such as those containing cocoa butter.
\nAvoid excessive sun exposure, as it can cause the skin to produce more sebum. Several acne medications increase the risk of sunburn.
\nAvoid anxiety and stress, as it can increase production of cortisol and adrenaline, which exacerbate acne.
\nTry to keep cool and dry in hot and humid climates, to prevent sweating.<\/p>\n

Acne is a common problem. It can cause severe embarrassment, but treatment is available, and it is effective in many cases.
