Acne Skin Treatments

Acne occurs due to excessive oil produced by oil glands that makes the skin greasy and clogs the pores present on the surface of the skin. This blockage can result in a whitehead or blackhead (non-inflammatory acne) and may spread to the surrounding area of the skin and cause an inflammatory lesion.

The lesion is usually of red color and on hampering may cause scarring or hyperpigmentation on the skin. The varied types of inflammatory acne are papule (small, firm pink bump), pustule- (containing a yellowish or whitish centre), and Nodule or Cyst-painful and pus filled lesions).

Major reasons that result in acne are hormonal changes, greasy products, oily food, certain drugs (steroids, estrogen, testosterone, etc.), sweating, genetics, stress, etc. It generally affects the face, upper neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms of the patient.
