Acne is a broad term for a group of lesions that include blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. Obstruction of the oil gland underlies all of these lesions. What causes the blockage and what factors make someone more prone to acne blemishes?

The three principal factors that cause acne.

1. Increased oil production - this is related to changing hormone levels that typically occur around teenage years.
2. Obstruction of the oil gland with dead skin cells. Once the gland is obstructed oil builds up and produces the characteristic lesions of blackheads and white heads.
3. Infection of the blocked pore with bacteria. These bacteria are normally found on the skin, but because they love the oil rich environment of the blocked pore they concentrate in the glands and cause pimples.

Q. Why does acne occurs mainly on the face, neck, chest, shoulders and upper back?
A. These areas have the highest number of oil glands.

Who is more likely to get acne?

It seems that people who develop acne are more prone to blockage of the oil gland, so treating obstruction of the glands is one of the simplest ways of clearing mild and moderate acne.

Having a family history increases your chances of developing acne.

Use of cleansers in treating Acne is very important to remove oil build up, makeup and dirt from the surface of the skin, preparing it for any active acne product you put on.

Excessive use, or use of overly drying cleansers can make the acne worse.

What Is The Best Cleanser For Acne?

• Use a gentle cleanser. (This concept is hard for someone with acne, as they feel they want to get their skin really clean) but over cleaning with harsh drying cleansers aggravates inflammation and can stimulate more oil production. Hydrating face washes give better results in reducing acne.
• Do not use soaps or bars, they contain ingredients that can block the pore and are generally at a high ph which will disrupt the natural protective layer of the skin, known as the acid mantle and potentially increase the presence of bacteria inside the pore.
• Do not use products that contain harsh detergents, abrasive scrub particles or astringents. These can all hurt the skin, cause irritation and stimulate oil production.
• Do not use products that contain witch hazel, alcohol or irritating essential oils such as peppermint, eucalyptus or citrus oils. These ingredients are extremely irritating and impair the skin’s ability to heal itself and kill bacteria.

Understanding what causes acne will help you understand the treatment regime your Doctor prescribes, as ideally acne treatments should address all of the underlying causes.

However it does nothing to relieve the distress it can cause. For this you need rapid clearance so you do not have to put up with the distress that acne causes longer than necessary.

Acne - 4 factors that contribute to blemish formation

1. Increased oil production in the sebaceous (oil) glands- under the influence of hormones.

2. Increased cell production in the oil glands, accumulation of dead cells causing blockage of the gland. This allows the oil in the sebaceous gland to build up causing blackheads when the pore remains open or whiteheads when the pore opening is closed.

3. Bacterial infection with Propionibacterium acnes (or P. acnes) which grows in the oil rich blocked gland.

4. Inflammation occurs because of the bacterial infection causing redness and swelling- papules. Eventually the gland can rupture under the skin, this causes intense inflammation and formation of pustules-pimples. If the blockage is deeper in the skin cystic nodules form.

Do not over squeeze, pick or dig at pimples.

We know the temptation is hard to resist, and you may think it will help clear the pimples but over zealous squeezing traumatises the skin, and continually re-injuring increases the chances of scarring. There is nothing wrong with gentle squeezing to get rid of the contents, but this is probably best left in the hands of someone trained and experienced in extraction if you are not confident yourself.

Deep cleaning of the skin helps clear acne faster, however usual topical treatments, no matter how much they promise they will penetrate deep into the pores and deep clean will not do the trick. There is only one product that penetrates the oil of a blocked gland and that is salicylic acid (BHA).

Deep cleaning of the skin with acne involves removing dead compacted layers of skin cells from the surface and inside the pore and this does bring about more rapid resolution of mild to moderate acne. Microdermabrasion in combination with skin care product containing BHA’s is very effective to address the obstruction of the oil glands in acne and effect rapid resolution.
