What makes acne develop is known and unknown; first it is clear how pimples, blemishes and acne occur on the face. While this is known, what actually causes acne is not known, there are many factors that are thought to cause acne, like hormones, heredity, stress, and other things.
Acne is caused by an over production of oil in the sebaceous glands that secrete oil into the hair follicles and this is where the oil is able to mix with shedding skin cells in the pores which can then be soft and cause infection or become hard and when the oil in the pore is exposed to air it darkens and becomes a blackhead.
There is much research done to find treatments for acne, and into the reasons acne affects some people, while others may have only a few blemishes from time to time. There is also research done on medications that can be manufactured as an over the counter treatment or as a prescription treatment that will work in successfully battling acne. |
