Pimples
- Acne occurs when the sebaceous gland, which is
located in the base of hair follicles,
and become overactive. The most vulnerable part of the body is the face, back,
chest and shoulders. Acne is the obvious signs of acne, it just happens when
penetration occurs.
Concern is growing among
experts on long-term use of antibiotics to treat acne, and its contribution to
bacterial resistance. He wrote of experts based on the evidence in The Lancet
Dermatology Center, the University of Nottingham, England in The Lancet
Dermatology Center. That although the pharmacy stocked with various acne
medications, has been done a few studies on its success.
What sebaceous glands?
The sebaceous glands are
small glands that secrete sebum skin - Wax / oily substance - to soften the
skin and hair of mammals (humans are mammals). Humans were present in all
locations except the skin of the palms and soles. There are a greater number of
sebaceous glands in the face and scalp. In our eyelids, sebaceous glands
secrete sebum meibomian special kind of crying.
Some medical conditions
associated with abnormalities in the function of the sebaceous glands, they are
as below:
- Acne (Pimples).
- Sebaceous cysts - closed sacs or cysts under the skin surface.
- Inflation - the expansion of the sebaceous glands, and the production of yellow, shiny bumps on his face.
- Adenoma fatty - the presence of slow-growing tumor (benign, non-cancerous) usually presented as pink, and living organisms, or yellow papules or nodules.
- Sebaceous gland cancer - an aggressive skin tumor (cancer) and rarely.
What causes acne?
Sebaceous glands that produce
sebum, is in the pores of the skin. That is to shed the outer layer of the skin
constantly. Sometimes, dead skin cells left behind and stuck together with
sticky sebum, causing clogged pores. For occurring during puberty (physical
process of change that a child's body becomes an adult body capable of
reproduction) pore clogging. More sebum is produced by sebaceous glands, which
- as clogged pores, builds up behind the blockage. And prevented the
accumulation of sebum has bacteria, including the Propionibacterium acne. This
slow-growing bacterium, It is associated with acne. The presence of
Propionibacterium acne generally harmlessly on our skin - but, when conditions
are right, can reproduce more quickly and become a problem. Bacteria feed off
the sebum and produce substances that cause an immune response, causing
inflammation of the skin and freckles.
The skin of people who are
prone to acne are very sensitive to normal levels of testosterone - a natural
hormone found in both men and women. In people have testosterone which can make
the sebaceous glands produce of sebum too much, making it more vulnerable to clogging
poor skin cells, which get turn increases the likelihood of blocking the
pores. Be mind with Pimples.
