Important Factors behind Acne Formation

There are different acne types and all have different factors behind their formations. One of the most common types of acne is acne Vulgaris or also known as acne simplex. Besides acne Vulgaris a few other common acne types are cystic, occupational acne, excoriee, and cosmetica.

Let’s start with how acne Vulgaris appears. Basically it is a chronic inflammatory condition. What happens is surplus fluid gets formed due to excessive oil along with sweat glands. Due to the formation of this surplus fluid the hair follicles become congested and it is not able to go away then. The trapped sebum then is responsible for promoting bacterial activities around or even in the hair follicle making the skin a treat for acne. Acne Vulgaris mostly hits an individual in his or her puberty days and targets the face mostly making blackheads, cysts, and pimples appear.

If you are fond of doing a lot of make-up then beware because Acne cosmetica is caused by topical make-up as well. Acne cosmetica can be said as quite a mild form of acne and makes small pink bumps appear on the face and little scarring can be also experienced in some cases. A regular usage of make-up puts you on risk and especially if you are using things containing isopropyl mysristate and other ingredients that are greasy like lanolin then I am afraid your skin health is at high stakes.

Acne excoriee is a special type of acne that particularly targets young girls who are going into their adolescence. What happens is that the girl discovers a pimple and starts scratching it harshly over time. Due to the fingernails the skin badly gets damaged and regular scratching makes it impossible to recover. This constant harsh scratching brings in superficial and broad scars. You should not confuse this act with someone who likes to scratch as a nervous practice. This acne condition gets worst when the girl keeps on popping out pimples and scratching them and lastly a thorough treatment is required to get rid of it.

When we talk about a ruthless acne then cystic acne is somewhere at the top. This sort of acne is formed then a damaged pimple or pustule gets erupted under the skin rather then the surface causing infection and bacteria. Swelling and pain is experienced along with facial scarring. Cystic Acne targets neck, shoulders, upper arms, and back mostly.
