What are the Causes of Acne?

The main cause of acne is the rise in the level of the hormone androgen in the body. Androgen levels rise during adolescence. Androgen activates the sebaceous (oil) glands under the skin which makes hair follicles grow bigger and produce excess oil. The hair follicles get plugged with oil and dead skin cells, allowing the bacteria to thrive and develop acne. Acne is also known as pimples, spots or zits.

What are the Different Types of Acne?

The different types of acne are as mentioned below:

●      Comedonal acne is caused by clogged hair follicles (pores) in the skin. A comedo can lead to a whitehead or a blackhead. An open comedo that has its opening on the skin surface is a blackhead. A closed comedo that has its opening beneath the skin surface is a whitehead.

●      Papular acne includes small, pink coloured lesions.

●      Pustular acne is filled with pus.

●      Cystic acne develops when an infection goes deep into the skin and forms a painful bump filled with pus under the skin.

●      Nodular acne is hard, large and very painful.
