Acne - Situations that require medical assistance

You must follow the treatment at home and call your doctor if there are signs of complications or if the acne is severe and progressively worsening.

Call your health care provider if you develop new symptoms, including cysts.

Basic causes of acne

1) Hormones: The production of androgens (one group of hormones that allows sexual changes at puberty) stimulates hair follicles, making the hair grow and sebaceous glands become larger.

2) Increased sebum production: Effect of hormonal stimulation, the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum. This leads to congestion within the follicle and subsequent entrapment of sebum.

3) Formation of "clogs": changes in the hair which also cause new cells replace others. These latter are accumulated in the output of the hair sebum also causing entrapment..

4 Bacteria: Basically one called propionilbacterium acnes, which normally lives on the skin, invades the trapped sebum, reproducing and causing inflammation.

Acne affects about 85% of young people. It usually begins between 12 and 14 because at that age there is an increased production of androgens or male sex hormones, which in turn stimulate the sebaceous gland to produce more runs of sebum. Moreover, it causes an obstruction of the channel or sebaceous duct and finally a superinfection of the accumulated sebum. This results in the appearance of the first lesions of acne that are open comedones or blackheads, and closed comedones, or white spots, and on which later developed papules or pustules.
