Acne

• Oil production
• Dead skin cells
• Clogged pores
• Bacteria
• Acne mainly occurs on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders The skin in these regions is rich in sebaceous glands Acne develops as a result of clogging of hair follicles with oil or dead cells
• Hair follicles are connected to sebaceous glands These glands secrete an oily substance that moisturizes the skin and hair The fatty substance normally follows the hair and comes out with the hair from the follicles to the surface of the skin
• When the skin produces too much oil or we have dead skin cells, it can build up and get stuck in the hair follicles. Such piles form a soft plug, which is a good breeding ground for bacteria If the plugs are infected with bacteria, an inflammatory process begins
• A clogged pore may bulge and give rise to whiteheads Sometimes the plug remains open, comes in contact with the surface, darkens and gives us a blackhead rash. Such clogs are even compared to dirt, but in reality they are bacteria and grease, which darkens when exposed to air.
• Pimples are red bumps that develop when the pore becomes infected with bacteria and pus forms. Compression and inflammation give us cyst-like swellings under the skin Other skin pores, such as sweat glands, are generally not involved in the development of acne

• Hormones In girls and boys, during puberty, the hormone androgens increase, which causes the sebaceous glands to enlarge and produce more fat. Pregnancy or the use of oral contraceptives can also cause sebaceous glands A lack of androgens can also cause acne in women
• Certain medications Corticosteroids, androgens, and lithium cause acne flare-ups
• Diet Some studies show that dietary factors, such as dairy products, high-carbohydrate foods (bread, baked goods, chips) aggravate acne. It is believed that chocolate also aggravates this condition A current study in 14 people with acne shows that chocolate does make things worse More research is needed to find out why this happens and whether people with acne should consider certain dietary restrictions.
• Stress Stress makes acne worse

• Fatty foods Eating oil doesn't make acne worse or cause acne, but being in contact with oil, such as when working in the kitchen, can really make acne worse because the oil comes into contact with the skin and clogs the pores even more.
• Dirty skin Dirt does not cause acne On the contrary, excessive scrubbing and cleaning irritates the skin and worsens acne If we gently remove the oil and dead cells, it will certainly help the acne
• Cosmetics Cosmetics don't always make acne worse, especially if you use oil-free makeup that doesn't clog pores (non-comedogenic) and remove makeup regularly. Oil-free cosmetics do not interfere with anti-acne medications

• Whiteheads (closed, clogged pores)
• Blackheads (open, clogged pores – which means there is oil in the pore, which turns brown when exposed to air, i.e., the pore is not completely closed)
(pimples)
• Large, hardened, painful lumps under the skin (nodules)
• Painful, pus-filled bumps under the skin (cystic rash)

• If treatment at home He or she may prescribe stronger medications If the acne does not go away and is severe, you may need to consult a dermatologist specifically
• The US Food and Drug Administration states that some popular acne lotions and cleansers may cause severe skin reactions. Such cases are rare and should not be confused with simple redness-burning during the use of conventional medicines

• Feeling like your heart is racing
• Difficulty breathing
• Stinging in the eyes, face, lips, tongue
• Punching in the throat
