To better understand why Acne can be as persistent and frustrating as it is, let’s take a closer look at what Acne is and it’s possible causes.
What is Acne?
Acne occurs when your skin’s pores become clogged and the release of natural oils is blocked, which in turn causes bacteria to grow. The different kinds of acne are broken into two categories; Non-Inflammatory Acne and Inflammatory Acne. Non-Inflammatory Acne typically appears in the form of whiteheads or blackheads, while Inflammatory Acne normally is known to appear as a more reddish, swollen bump that can sometimes be painful.
Causes of Acne
The exact causes of acne are unknown and it is likely that there are several different factors that can trigger it’s appearance, all of which can vary from person to person. Hormones, diet, genes, and stress are all possible causes of acne, but since it is not entirely understood why the process that causes oil to be blocked from escaping the pore occurs, it is better to spend time evaluating each patient individually and devising an effective treatment based on his or her specific symptoms.
