Four Key Factors Involved in Formation of Acne

According to the scientific research being done, there are four key factors involved in the acne process:

• Hormones that undergo a drastic change in the body during the teen years cause the oil glands to become over active.
• Family history of the acne and hereditary problem also play a very important role.
• If the skin cells are present in very large numbers, they tend to stick together, blocking the openings to the pores, leading to whiteheads or blackheads that further lead to formation of pimples.
• Bacteria grow stronger on this oil from oil glands that is growing readily beneath the skin cells and this leads to infection. This produces redness and pus formation causing pimples to occur, or in more serious cases, the infection spreads into deeper skin layers and causes cysts that lead to cystic acne.

If an individual is prone to very severe acne due to deeper skin infection then it may lead to permanent scarring of the skin. So, you must always be careful to what you eat, what products or cosmetics you use and if you find yourself affected with some reaction; don’t delay to consult the dermatologist.
