Acne Causes

Acne is a common problem among teens and young adults that can lead to depression and other health related issues.

Most researchers and health care specialist believe acne comes from a wide variety of issues and not one single factor. However there are some factors that far out weight others such as hormonal changes as we grow older, especially in the teen and young adult years.

acne pimplesStudies have shown that hormones called androgens can cause the formation of acne in the sebaceous glands of the skin. The sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance called sebum[1] that is composed of fats and the debris of dead fat-producing cells. Androgens increase the production of sebum, which can lead to acne problems.

The increased sebum blocks the pores in the skin and provides more food for acne causing bacteria. Androgen hormones are present in females as well as males. A sudden increase in these hormones takes place at puberty.

We cannot live without our body producing sebum. It is what keeps our skin from drying and cracking and helps waterproof our hair.

There is a bacterium known as propionibacterium acne, sometimes called P. acne. It is present on most people's skin. It is fed by the fatty acids, i.e. sebum, secreted by pores. It also found in the gastrointestinal tract in humans and many other animals. This bacteria excrete a substances that in their turn cause redness and inflammation of the skin. They also make enzymes that dissolve in the sebum to create byproducts that worsen the inflammation.

Estrogens play a large role in the development of acne in women. The monthly menstrual cycle of women is a result of changes in her estrogen levels. Because of this, it is quite normal for the acne condition in females to get better or worse, depending on the progression of her monthly menstrual cycle.

Acne can also be caused by genetic makeup.

While strong hereditary ties have not been completely established, it has been observed that acne has a tendency to be passed on to subsequent generations.

Such genetic tendencies for acne do not have many preventive treatments or cures.

  • diet
  • stress
  • misuse of cosmetics
  • medication side effects
