Acne is one of the most common skin conditions that impact most people of all races, ages, and genders at some point in their lives. Research estimates that 9.4 percent of trusted sources of people worldwide have acne. In the United States, acne is the most common skin condition, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Because of the constant increase, it has now become a widespread issue and the reason behind Acne Awareness Month.
We are deeply aware of the challenges, pain, and frustration this condition causes. We are here to ensure that everyone suffering from acne is aware of it and seeks medical intervention. In honor of June being the Acne Awareness Month, The Park MedSpa dedicated this blog to dig deep into education about what acne is, its prevention, and its treatments.
Acne is an inflammatory disorder of the skin, which has sebaceous glands that connect to the hair follicle, which contains fine hair. Acne happens when hair follicles under the skin become clogged. Sebum and dead skin cells plug the pores, which leads to pimple outbreaks. Most often, the outbreaks occur on the face but can also appear on the back, chest, and shoulders. This may happen due to several factors such as:
It is also known as blackheads and whiteheads. These two are the most common type of acne and is a surface level blemishes that presents with no redness, swelling, or tenderness. It occurs when the opening of the hair follicle is blocked with a combination of sebum and dead skin. In the following section, we have discussed our top-grade products and treatments that can help treat acne-prone skin.
PAPULES – It is also known as pimples, which are inflamed red bumps on your skin. It may happen when bacteria and debris enter a hair follicle. Papules can be caused by irritants such as harsh products, heavy makeup, and fragrances. It is considered a moderate form of acne.
PUSTULES – This type of acne is usually inflamed and with a pus-filled center due to infection. It may happen when a combination of sebum and bacteria blocked the pores. It occurs in areas that are oily as it allows the bacteria to grow.
CYSTIC ACNE – Cystic Acne is an infection that often extends deep into the skin. Cystic Acne occurs when a combination of bacteria, dead skin cells, impurities, and sebum gets trapped beneath the surface of your skin, leading to inflammation. Cystic acne is large, red, inflamed, painful, and pus-filled. Cystic Acne often ruptures leading to the spread of inflammation on the surrounding skin. This is the most serious form of acne that’s why immediate medical intervention is the key to reducing the inflammation. It is common in teens and adults with hormonal imbalances.
