\\\ What is Acne? ///
Acne is actually a skin condition called “Acne Vulgaris”.
It is caused by the thickening of the keratin of the pores and the excessive secretion of sebum, which clogs the exit of the pores and accumulates the sebum, causing P. acnes to multiply inside the pores.
It is not uncommon for people in their 20s and 30s to continue to have acne, and to suffer from adult acne.
It is important to treat white acne and black acne from the early stages, so that they won’t become acne scars.
\\\ Causes of Acne ///
There are three major causes of acne:
When male hormones increase during puberty, excess sebum is secreted, which causes acne to worsen during puberty.
For women, acne and rough skin may worsen before menstruation.
\\\ Acne Symptoms ///
Depending on the condition, acnes can be divided into white acne, black acne, red acne, yellow acne, etc.
At the initial stage, the pores are clogged with sebum. The surface of the pores is still closed and the rash looks white.
With the white acne progressing a little, the sebum rises and the surface of the pores opens, and when it comes in contact with the air, it oxidizes and the rash looks black.
With the black acne getting worse, the sebum grows and becomes inflamed, causing the rash to look reddish.
With the red acne getting worse, the rash looks yellow with suppuration and yellow pus.
If left untreated, they may remain as lumps or may be repeatedly inflamed and left as crater-like acne scars with irregularities.
