The Skin is a largest organ of the body and perform many vital functions. The skin is elastic, resistant and under normal conditions renews itself. Its functions as a protective covering for the body, preventing other harmful substances. Sensory nerve fibers in the skins is a specialized skin receptors react to 4 basic sensations that is : pressure, touch, pain and temperature (heat and cold).The skin contains pores that are openings in pairs for sweat glands, hair follicle and sebaceous glands. Sweat glands to regulate the skin temperatures, when the environment is hot, sweat glands releases sweat to reduces the heat in the skin. Sebaceous glands produces the sebum (oil) that lubricated the skin. The sweat and the sebum meets on the surface of the skin provides “acid mantle” that is the skin natural moisturizer that keeps the skin a slightly moist, soft, strong, flexible and it is acidic.

Sebaceous Glands and Hair Follicles

Healthy Follicle

Deep within each follicle, your sebaceous glands are working to produce “sebum” (the oil that keeps your skin moist and pliable). As your skin renews itself, the old cells die, mix with your skin’s natural oils, and are sloughed off. Under normal circumstances, these cells are shed gradually, making room for fresh new skin. But sloughing is different for everyone. Some people shed cells evenly; some don’t. Uneven shedding causes dead cells to become sticky, clumping together to form a plug — much like a cork in a bottle. This plug, or “comedones”, traps oil and bacteria inside the follicle. A blemish begins approximately 2–3 weeks before it appears on your skin’s surface.

Plug Follicle
stage2-plugged-follicle.jpgThe plug or “comedones” traps oil and bacteria within the follicle, which begins to swell as your skin continues its normal oil production. Your body then attacks the bacteria with a busy swarm of white blood cells. The whole process takes 2–3 weeks, culminating into a pimple or worsen acne developed.

Inflamed Acne Lesion
stage3-inflamed-acne-lesion.jpgThere is no one simple “cause” of acne — the condition is influenced by many factors, many which are out of control. The regularity with which the shed skin cells can change throughout the life. The rate at which production of sebum is affected by hormone balance, which is often in flux — especially for women. Normally when puberty where the hormone androgen start its increasing production, stimulate sebaceous glands causing over production of sebum, without proper healthy handling and cares usually worsen the conditions that makes the acne slow and difficult to treat.

One of the best weapons in the fight against, Acne however, is knowledge; if you know what causes acne, it’s easier to formulate a good plan of treatments or attack the cause of acne. There are five primary culprits contributing to this process. Each of these factors may vary dramatically between individuals. While some don’t have control over these factors, understanding them can help in searching for the proper Acne Treatments.
