How Acne Occurs?

Major causes of Acne explained.

Some of the primary reasons behind the occurrence of Acne include:

Hormones

Acne starts occurring in teenagers due to an increase in the level of Androgen production. Androgen is a hormone which signals the body to produce more sebum, the oil produced by the sebaceous glands. Excessive sebum secretion breaks down the cellular walls in the pores, resulting in the growth of the acne-cause radicals/bacteria.

Acne Breakouts Reasons - Bacteria

Bacteria

When the excess sebum secretion clogs the skin’s pores, it becomes the breeding ground for the acne-causing bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes. This bacterium occurs naturally and contributes to infection. If there are too many of them in the pIugged follicles, the enzyme secretion increases, causing inflammatory acne like Papules.

Acne Breakouts Reasons - Food Habits

Food

Greasy foods are another reason behind pus-filled breakouts. The oil content in the skin is further boosted by the junk foods which further deteriorates the skin’s condition. It all begins with redness which eventually turns into a stubborn pimple.

Acne Breakouts Reasons - Diets

Diet

Irregular diet is a man-made reason behind acne. Less consumption of water, spicy foods, stress, inadequate sleep, etc., aggravate the condition of acne. However, this is something that can be controlled.

Acne Breakouts Reasons - Pollution and Dirt

Pollution & Dirt

An overlay of dirt on the skin can also worsen the acne on one’s face. With proper skincare regime, this reason can be combated.

Others

Irregular menstrual cycles, multiple cysts in ovaries, consumption of drugs like steroids, dandruff, etc., are a few other causes of acne.
