ACNE
Acne begins when a build up of oil occurs in the hair follicle, creating a plug (comedo) that traps oil and dead cells under the surface of the skin. The clogged follicle becomes a fertile breeding ground for P.acnes bacteria - the main cause of acne.
There are two categories and several different types of acne -
NON-INFLAMMATORY
Closed comedo (whitehead)
|
If the plugged follicle stays below the surface of the skin, the lesion is called a closed comedo, or whitehead. They usually appear on the skin as small, whitish bumps.
|
Open comedo (blackhead)
|
If the plug enlarges and pushes through the surface of the skin, it's called an open comedo, or blackhead. The plug's dark appearance is not due to dirt, but rather to a buildup of melanin, the skin's dark pigment.
|
INFLAMMATORY
Papule
|
The mildest form of inflammatory acne is the papule, which appears on the skin as a small, firm pink bump. These can be tender to the touch, and are often considered an intermediary step between non-inflammatory and clearly inflammatory lesions.
|
Pustule
|
Like papules, pustules are small round lesions; unlike papules, they are clearly inflamed and contain visible pus. They may appear red at the base, with a yellowish or whitish center. Pustules do not commonly contain a great deal of bacteria; the inflammation is generally caused by chemical irritation from sebum components such as fatty free acids.
|
Nodule or Cyst
|
Large and usually very painful, nodules are inflamed, pus-filled lesions lodged deep within the skin. Nodules develop when the contents of a comedo have spilled into the surrounding skin and the local immune system responds, producing pus. The most severe form of acne lesion, nodules may persist for weeks or months, their contents hardening into a deep cyst. Both nodules and cysts often leave deep scars.
|
Acne conglobata
|
This rare but serious form of inflammatory acne develops primarily on the back, buttocks and chest. In addition to the presence of pustules and nodules, there may be severe bacterial infection.
|
Treatments for acne vary from accutane (a form of vitamin A) that can cause severe, life-threatening birth defects if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy to several different commercially available products like Proactiv, which uses Benzoyl peroxide and can cause dryness or peeling of skin, feeling of warmth, tingling, slight stinging, burning, blistering, itching, redness, rash and swelling.
