ACNE SKIN OVERVIEW

Acne (acne vulgaris) is a disease of the hair follicle that results in inflammatory and non inflammatory skin lesions. It affects nearly 17 million people in the U.S., making it the most common skin disease in the country. It affects all ages, every ethnicity and both sexes. Acne occurs most commonly where the sebaceous glands (oil glands) are the most numerous; the face, neck, chest, shoulders and upper back.

Acne usually begins when the body starts to produce the hormones called androgens. As androgen production increases sebaceous glands (oil glands) enlarge and produce more oil. Also, the inner lining of skin (epidermis) in the hair follicle produces more skin cells. Normally, dead cells inside the follicle shed gradually and get expelled onto the surface. However, in acne patients these cells are shed more rapidly and tend to stick together. When they mix with sebum (oil), the cells and sebum can form a plug in the follicle that causes the follicle to clog. This results in non inflammatory lesions such as blackheads. Contrary to popular belief, the black color is not caused by dirt but rather is due to a process of oxidation. In short, it is believed that the clogged follicle becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. One type of bacteria specifically involved is Propionibacterium acnes, P. acnes, for short. P. acnes ingests sebum and is a normal resident on skin even in people who don't have acne. However, when the sebaceous gland gets clogged and sebum builds up inside the follicle, P. acnes multiplies rapidly. By-products produced by the bacteria can cause inflammation in the follicle and surrounding skin. This results in overall redness and inflammatory skin lesions such as pustules, pimples, and cysts.
