Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It results in pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads. Although, it can afflict anyone at any age, acne is most prevalent in teenagers. The lumps and pimples heal slowly, and just as one starts to go, another one seems to appear. Depending on how severe it is, acne can leave skin scars and create emotional distress. Acne treatments function by lowering sebum production, curing bacterial infections, and/or reducing swelling. Sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in healthy skin is released onto the skin's surface through the pore, a follicular opening. The follicle is lined with keratinocytes, a kind of skin cell. The keratinocytes normally ascend to the skin's surface during skin cell shedding. Hair, sebum, and keratinocytes clump together in the pore of an acne patient. As a result, the keratinocytes are kept from shedding and sebum is kept from penetrating the skin's surface. Inflammation, including swelling, redness, heat, and pain, is brought on by bacteria that ordinarily reside on the skin and can proliferate in clogged follicles when oil and cells are present.
