Acne occurs when your hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and oil. The pimples heal slowly, but there are chances when one subsides, the other is on its way already. Depending on the severity, acne can cause emotional distress and also scar the skin. The earlier you start the treatment for acne, the lower your risk of such problems would be in the future.

Acne signs and symptoms

Acne signs and symptoms vary depending upon the severity of the condition:

  • Blackheads
  • Whiteheads
  • Pimples
  • Large, solid, painful lumps under the skin
  • Small, red, tender bumps
  • Painful, pus-filled lumps under the skin

Acne tends to appear mostly on the forehead, face, upper back, shoulders, and chest. For many people, acne can persist for decades. In older adults, a sudden onset of severe acne might be a sign of an underlying disease that requires urgent medical attention. If you suspect any of the symptoms, then it is always better to consult a doctor because prevention is better than cure.

Reasons for acne on the face

Human skin has pores that are connected to the oil glands under the skin through follicles. These glands produce an oily liquid called sebum which carries dead skin cells through the follicles to the surface of the skin. Pimples grow when these follicles get blocked and oil builds up under the skin. The sebum, skin cells and hair can clump together and form a plug and this gets infected with bacteria, resulting in swelling. P. acnes is the name of the bacteria that live on the skin and contribute to the infection leading to the formation of pimples. Other factors that trigger acne are -

 

  • Hormonal factors
  • Certain medications such as corticosteroids and testosterone
  • Stress
  • Diet
