Acne skin disease for young people

One always irritating skin disease for adolescents and young adults is acne. This disease is not fatal, but troubling because it can reduce confidence due to reduced auto beauty of a person's face that can interfere with the activity when growth is too excessive.

Though it is most acne in adolescence or young adulthood, growing up in a place of predilection (face, neck, upper arms, chest and back), but in fact, acne can come anytime, anywhere and to anyone. Acne can occur in infants (neonatal acne), children, adults and parents. Acne can grow in the abdomen, thighs, calves, and even in the scrotum (male genitalia). Acne can arise when stress, after eating a lot of fat, carbohydrate and premenstrual, or being mediocre.

Acne can heal itself without the aid of drugs, cosmetics, or herbs. But there are also acne that does not heal. Acne that does not heal this is a problem for world health.

Acne is a skin disease caused by inflammation of the pilosebaceous follicles are characterized by the eruption, comedones, papules, pustules, and cysts in the glands of the tendency for the face, upper arms, neck, chest and back. Inflammation of the oil glands of the skin that can lead to blockage of the drainage of sebum released by the sebaceous glands to the skin surface, which is then lifted to the surface of the skin eruption that began with the occurrence of blackheads.

This inflammatory process and then subsequently will be blackheads develop into papules, pustules, nodes, and cysts. And if the inflammation is complete, partial scarring can occur with various forms of more familiar as pockmarks / scar.

Many factors cause acne, such as:

1. increased sebum production that causes blockage of hair follicles and skin pores.

2. Increasing the amount of acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes, P. ovale, P. epidermis) which tend to multiply in the blocked sebaceous glands that produce substances that cause irritation to the surrounding area.

3. Increased levels of androgens, anabolic, corticosteroids, gonadotropins, and ACH is an important factor might be in the sebaceous glands. Other hormonal changes that can cause acne are menstruation, pregnancy, drug use and stress.

4. The occurrence of stress that triggers the sebaceous glands either directly or through stimulation by the pituitary gland. In fact, stress does not directly cause acne. the cause is, there are certain hormones that come out when someone is stressed that allows the growth of acne. Not only that, stress makes people have a diet that tend to consume a lot of sugary and fatty foods, as a "breakout" of stress that can cause acne.

5. Because of their age, race, familiar, the food, the weather can indirectly stimulate the occurrence of acne.

7. Consumption of good oral corticosteroid medication (oral medication) or topical (ointment), which resulted in decreased immune system also increases the potential for acne due to increased pathogen activity.

8. The surface of a cell phone can be a fertile medium for bacterial growth. To prevent acne, clean the surface of the phone regularly with alcohol and try not to stick to the cheek when a cell phone call.
