The Cause of Acne
Acne is a problem that can happen to anyone, men or women. But often, this problem haunts women especially during menstruation. No one likes acne, because its appearance makes a person lose self-confidence.
There are various causes that can lead to the appearance of acne, including:
- Stress Stress can actually be the cause of acne. Body under stress will face deterioration of body functions and eventually trigger acne. The chemicals released during stress, neuropeptides, will make acne problems more chronic.
- Sebum glands This condition is usually caused by hormonal changes, in which the sebaceous glands become active and release large amounts of sebum. Eventually it will cause the formation of acne. Having oily skin can also be a cause of acne.
- Bacterial infections When the resulting sebum is too much, it tends to block or close the pores. This situation will cause the accumulation of bacteria that eventually becomes the cause of acne. This condition can cause skin inflammation problems.
- The use of make-up is not clean Even if the makeup used is privately owned and does not mix with other individuals, you still need to wash the makeup used such as a make-up brush or sponge. This is because unattended make-up can be a breeding ground for bacteria thus resulting in acne. So, once a month, wash and clean all the makeup you use often.
- Dust and dirt In your actual environment there is dirt and dust that can also be the cause of acne. Coupled with the oily face condition, of course it will worsen the condition. Another thing that is also a cause is the dirt that is on the cell phone. Try to look at the screen of your mobile phone, it must be greasy and there are fingerprints, right? Of course such dirt can stick to the face and eventually acne appears. Make sure your cell phone screen is always clean; at least before you attach your face to the screen.
- Inconsistent facial care Usually women are easily attracted to buy various sets of facial care. However, not everyone can do a routine care routine. There is no denying that sometimes when we are too tired, we will be lazy to do a face care routine. And that can actually be the cause of acne problems. So after this, you have to diligently do the face care routine. Do not be lazy!
- Frequent squeezing of acne Do you notice when you squeeze acne, soon sure acne appears near other parts? Kind of magic. But in fact this habit is not recommended, not to mention it increases the risk of acne scars.
Type of Acne
There are generally two types of acne that do not cause inflammation, namely:
- Closed comedo Also known as whitehead. It is a condition in which a group of oils and dead skin cells mix and clog pores. This situation in turn will trap sebum (oil), and bacteria. You will see white spots on the surface of your skin.
- Open comedo Known as blackhead. The group of oils and dead skin cells those are open and oxidized by the air causing it to turn black. The visible black is not dirt but a skin-melanin pigment that reacts with oxygen in the air.
There are three types of acne that can cause inflammation, namely:
- Papule It is blackhead acne that becomes inflamed because it is not treated and infected with bacteria. It forms red or pink bumps on the skin. This acne is very sensitive to touch. Squeezing it will make the inflammation worse and result in scarring.
- Pustule This acne occurs when the red spots are inflamed and untreated and will appear purulent acne either white or yellow. Some call it mature acne. Avoid squeezing or squeezing this acne because the act can cause scars and acne problems that are becoming more chronic.
- Nodule This type of acne is known as pimples. This acne condition is large and there are inflamed lumps. This acne can occur when the pores are clogged and bacteria have entered the bottom layer. Often this acne is serious if left untreated. This condition certainly causes the individual's self-confidence to decrease.
