Acne is a disease in which the hair follicles on your skin
become clogged and infected. This results in one of the three
types of acne lesions to form.
The production of excess sebum is the culprit. It causes the
follicles to become blocked. The medical community is still
uncertain as to what triggers this excess production. Sebum is
produced by the sebaceous oil gland and everybody needs a small
amount to achieve healthy skin. Sebum helps protects the skin
from harmful bacteria
by washing it away.
Types of Acne Lesions:
The three types of acne lesions are whiteheads & blackheads
(also known as closed and open comedones respectively), papules
& pustules, and cysts.
Whiteheads as the name suggests, look like white bumps. They
form under the skin and never reach the surface. This makes them
very hard to eliminate. Blackheads grow upward and break the
skins surface. This enlarged follicle and the oxidation of the
dead cells, sebum, and
bacteria have a black color, hence the
name.
Papules form when a whitehead burst and the bacteria spreads to
the surrounding tissues under the skin. This causes your body's
immune system to increase its fight on the infection making the
inflammation worse. They appear as small, firm, red bumps.
Pustules form as the body's immune system continues to fight the
infection by sending pus to the area. They appear similar to a
papules with the addition of a yellowish white

head.
Cysts are the third and final type of acne lesion. They form
when a pustule worsens and expands further down under the skins
surface. They appear red or purple and are very painful. This is
the most serious of all types of acne lesions.
Types of Acne:
Acne can not only be classified by the types of acne lesions,
but further broken down by acne type; depending on what types of
lesions you have. People whose acne consists of whiteheads and
blackheads
would have what is called comedonal acne. A mix of
blackheads, whiteheads, papules and pustules acne lesions is
called acne vulgaris and is the most common type of acne. The
third type of acne is called cystic acne and it is when someone
has all three types of acne lesions with numerous cysts.
Who Can Get Acne:
While most people associate acne with teens, anybody can
experience some type of acne at any age. That said certain
groups of people are more likely to
Actimine provides the nutrients needed by your body to regulate the occurrence of acne, eliminating the potential scarring and embarrassment which often result from chronic breakouts.
