Most people have been troubled by acne at some stage of their
lives. The most common form of acne is called 'acne vulgaris'
and is caused when the pores of the skin become partially
blocked by oil and dead skin cells. Bacteria that is normally
found on the skin surface then invades the area, causing
inflammation and pain. In many cases the ensuing pimples contain
pus and sometimes a blackhead. The blackhead is not dirt, but

a
change in the pigment of the blockage.
Acne is thought to be partly hereditary, but there are several
other factors that can precede its onset. One of these is
hormonal activity such as the menstrual cycle. Stress is also
likely to bring on the dreaded zits due to increased output of
hormones from the stress glands. Anabolic steroids have a
similar effect, while medication containing halogens, lithium,
barbiturates or
androgens is also cited as a cause. A more
severe form of acne called Chloracne is caused by exposure to
high levels of chlorine. This type of acne is very severe and
long lasting.
The normal form of acne usually gets better by itself, but the
trouble is that it can often take a long time: decades in some
cases. Another problem is that acne at its worst can cause bad
scarring of the skin. If a pimple full of pus is
squeezed until
it bleeds, there will often be scarring.
Some experts say that pimples should not be squeezed because
this can force the pus deeper into the skin. This deep-rooted
infection can result in scarring and cyst formation. It is
easier to prevent these scars in the first place than to cure
them, so go easy on the squeezing. If you do squeeze a pimple,
wash your hands in a disinfectant first, then gently pierce
the
pus-filled pimple with a sterile needle. This will allow the pus
to come out instead of being forced downwards. Sterilize the
needle by passing it through a candle flame two or three times.
Some mature women have what they think is acne, but it may be
the less common acne rosacea. It is similar to look at, but the
skin is usually flushed and becomes thickened. People who blush
easily are the most likely to develop
this condition. Acne
rosacea is frequently stress-related and is a potential threat
to the vision, so a correct diagnosis is imperative. It is
possible for the two forms of acne to co-exist. Another
condition that can be mistaken for acne is keratosis pilaris.
