Acne is most common in teenagers, but it can occur at all ages. The condition usually begins at puberty and may continue for many years. Three out of four teenagers have acne to some extent, probably caused by hormonal changes that stimulate the sebaceous (oil producing) skin glands. |
Other hormonal changes related to menstrual periods, pregnancy, birth control pills, or stress can also aggravate acne. |
All acne is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit, which is made up of a hair follicle, sebaceous gland, and a hair. These units are found everywhere on the body except on the palms, soles, top of the feet, and the lower lip. The number of pilosebaceous units is greatest on the face, upper neck, and chest. Sebaceous glands produce a substance called sebum, which is responsible for keeping the skin and hair moisturized. During adolescence sebaceous glands enlarge and produce more sebum under the influence of hormones, also called androgens. After about age 20, sebum production begins to decrease. |
Most people develop acne during adolescence. It is most prevalent in those aged 16 to 18 years. The reasons are: |
-
There are higher levels of sex hormones at puberty than in younger children.
-
These hormones are converted in the skin to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which stimulates oil glands to enlarge.
-
The oil glands, called sebaceous glands, produce sebum. The more sebum, the more likely it is that acne will be troublesome.
-
If sebum and keratin (dead skin cells) block the skin pores, comedones can develop.
-
The wall of the follicles may rupture.
-
Bacteria and comedonal debris cause acne pimples or pustules (inflammatory lesions).
|
Acne usually becomes less of a problem after the age of 25 years, although about 15% of women and 5% of men continue to have acne as adults. |
Although all acne begins the same way, with bacteria flourishing in a follicle clogged with oil and dead skin, it can develop into many types of acne: |
-
Whitehead - If the plugged follicle stays below the surface of the skin, the lesion is called a whitehead. They usually appear on the skin as small, whitish bumps.
-
Blackhead - If the plug enlarges and pushes through the surface of the skin, it's called a blackhead. The plug's dark appearance is not due to dirt, but rather to a buildup of melanin, the skin's dark pigment.
-
Papule - The mildest form of inflammatory acne is the papule, which appears on the skin as a small, firm pink bump. These can be tender to the touch, and are often considered an intermediary step between non-inflammatory and clearly inflammatory lesions.
-
Pustule - Like papules, pustules are small round lesions; unlike papules, they are clearly inflamed and contain visible pus. They may appear red at the base, with a yellowish or whitish center. Pustules do not commonly contain a great deal of bacteria; the inflammation is generally caused by chemical irritation from sebum components such as fatty free acids.
-
Nodule or Cystic Acne - Large and usually very painful, nodules are inflamed, pus-filled lesions lodged deep within the skin. Nodules develop when the contents of a plugged follicle have spilled into the surrounding skin and the local immune system responds, producing pus. The most severe form of acne lesion, nodules may persist for weeks or months, their contents hardening into a deep cyst. Both nodules and cystic acne often leave deep scars.
-
Acne conglobata - This rare but serious form of inflammatory acne develops primarily on the back, buttocks and chest. In addition to the presence of pustules and nodules, there may be severe bacterial infection.
