HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR ACNE
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles
become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne usually appears on your face,
neck, chest, back and shoulders. Effective treatments are available, but acne
can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go
away, others seem to crop up.
Acne
is most common among teenagers, with a reported prevalence of 70 to 87 percent.
Increasingly, younger children are getting acne as well.Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of lasting physical and emotional damage.
Causes--
Four main factors cause acne:
·
Oil production
·
Dead skin cells
·
Clogged pores
·
Bacteria
Acne typically
appears on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. These areas of skin have
the most oil (sebaceous) glands. Acne occurs when hair follicles become plugged
with oil and dead skin cells.
Hair follicles
are connected to oil glands. These glands secrete an oily substance (sebum) to
lubricate your hair and skin. Sebum normally travels along the hair shafts and
through the openings of the hair follicles onto the surface of your skin
When your body produces an excess amount of sebum and
dead skin cells, the two can build up in the hair follicles. They form a soft
plug, creating an environment where bacteria can thrive. If the clogged pore
becomes infected with bacteria, inflammation results.
The plugged pore may cause the follicle wall to bulge
and produce a whitehead. Or the plug may be open to the surface and may darken,
causing a blackhead. A blackhead may look like dirt stuck in pores. But
actually the pore is congested with bacteria and oil, which turns brown when
it's exposed to the air.
Pimples are raised red spots with a white center that
develop when blocked hair follicles become inflamed or infected. Blockages and
inflammation that develop deep inside hair follicles produce cyst-like lumps
beneath the surface of your skin. Other pores in your skin, which are the
openings of the sweat glands, aren't usually involved in acne.
Factors that may worsen acne
These factors
can trigger or aggravate an existing case of acne:
Hormones. Androgens
are hormones that increase in boys and girls during puberty and cause the
sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum. Hormonal changes related to
pregnancy and the use of oral contraceptives also can affect sebum production.
And low amounts of androgens circulate in the blood of women and can worsen
acne.
Certain medications. Drugs
containing corticosteroids, androgens or lithium can worsen acne.
Diet. Studies
indicate that certain dietary factors, including dairy products and
carbohydrate-rich foods — such as bread, bagels and chips — may trigger acne.
Chocolate has long been suspected of making acne worse. A recent study of 14
men with acne showed that eating chocolate was related to an increase in acne.
Further study is needed to examine why this happens or whether acne patients
need to follow specific dietary restrictions.
Stress. Stress
can make acne worse.
Symptoms--
Acne signs and symptoms vary depending on the severity of your condition:
·
Whiteheads (closed plugged pores)
· Blackheads (open plugged pores — the oil turns brown when it is
exposed to air)
·
Small red, tender bumps (papules)
· Pimples (pustules), which are papules with pus at their tips
· Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface of the skin
(nodules)
·
Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface of the skin
(cystic lesions)
