Acne occurs when skin pores get clogged by grease, dust and/or makeup particles. Each pore is connected to the hair follicle from which hair is emerged out. At the side of the hair follicle the sebum gland is present which produce sebum (oily substance on the skin).

Generally, the oil glands help to keep the skin lubricated and protects from damage by the sun heat UV rays and other substances.

Sometimes due to hormonal effects, especially the androgen hormones (especially in puberty), the sebaceous gland produces excessive grease/oil, in result pores  become blocked, accumulating dirt, debris and bacteria. The more secretion of sebum is caused by the hormonal effects, especially the androgen hormones.

When the HAIR FOLLICLES become plugged in pores, oil and dead skin cells called blackheads, blemishes, whiteheads, pimples, or zits.

Hair follicles are connected to oil glands (sebaceous glands).

In other words……When your body produces an excess amount of sebum that accumulate inside the follicle and combining with dead skin cells form a SOFT PLUG. If the clogged pore becomes infected with bacteria, inflammation results and cause the follicle wall to bulge out that is called acne or pimples.

Types of Acne Pimples & Blackhead :

Non- inflammatory Acne (Non inflammatory acne includes blackheads and whiteheads. These normally don’t cause swelling) and

Inflammatory Acne or Pimples (Pimples are red and swollen and are inflamed, for example : Papules, pustules and Nodules)

1. Blackheads : Blackheads are Clearly visible on the face skin.

Blackheads are develops when a pore is clogged by a combination of sebum and dead skin cells. The top of the pore stays open, despite the rest of it being clogged.

2. Whitehead : Whiteheads are a mild form of acne, they are small, round, white bumps on the skin’s surface.

This type of acne occurs when a pore becomes clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, and debris, but does not open outside and is covered with a thin layer of skin. It appears white on its surface. Whiteheads could be on the face, shoulders, neck, chest, and spine.

3. Papules: Papules are a type of acne vulgaris that show up small bumps on the face.

This sort of acne happen when a pore becomes blocked with sebum, dead skins cells and the inflammation set in; inflammation brakes down the surrounding wall of the pores and form bumps like structures. The skin around these pores is typically pink and painfull/tender to touch.

4. Pustules: Pustules are similar to papules; they are clearly visible on the skin surface; They are red at their base and have whitish or yellowish pus; they are painful to touch.

5.Nodules: This nodular type acne are hard and larger than papules and postures. They are extensive, solid, painful and nodular like deep seated in the skin. These sorts of acnes could cause scar formation if not treated in time.

6. Cysts: Cysts develops when pores are blocked by a combination of bacteria, sebum, and dead skin cells, theses blocks are deep within the skin and further below the surface than nodules. They are larger than nodules and appeared like a cystic structure. They are painful and filled with pus. Cysts can cause scars.

Factors that stimulate sebaceous gland to secrete more sebum causing Acne Pimples & Blackhead

  • More androgen hormone secretion- The sebum glands are very sensitive to androgen hormone. Rising of androgen hormone levels cause the oil glands to more enlarge and to produce more sebum. Excessive sebum can break down cellular walls in the pores, causing bacteria to grow.
  • Unhealthy food habits – Unhealthy food habits like junk foods, fast foods, fatty foods etc also contribute factor of more androgen secretion which in results acne formation.
  • Unhealthy lifestyle – Sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, habitual irregular meals, late night sleep and/or insomnia etc, are also could be major cause(s) for acne formation.
  • Stress- Staying constantly in a stress, pressure packed life style, compromisation or suppression of natural emotions either due to situation demand or by the own nature, can put a major impact on endocrine system including sebum gland. That can also a contributing factor for development of acne. The suppression of emotion of any form like anger, grieves, vexation, anxiety, jealousy etc, all affects the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and thus all body/health.
  • Medicines- Some medications contains corticosteroids androgen and lithium, also increase the androgen hormone level and causes of more acne pimples and blackheads development. Birth control pills can also cause acne.
  • Cosmetics – greasy cosmetics are also causes acne more . Cosmetic induced acne generally occur on the chin and cheeks; these acne presents as small, whitish bumps, which are more noticeable when the skin is stretched.
  • Menstrual cycle -Acne appears during the menstrual cycle because fluctuating hormone levels during this period, and sometimes in pregnancy too.
  • Propionibacterium acne – Propionibacterium acne is a bacterium that lives on human skin and uses the sebum as nutrients/food. More sebum secretion makes a suitable environment for growth of Propionibacterium acne and set up an inflammatory condition and develop acne.
