ACNE SYMPTOMS

Acne symptoms are a result of the multi-factorial interaction between the acne causes, depending on the acne, stage and severity in varying degrees. Once acne-typical skin manifestations occur, necessarily, a skin doctor (dermatologist) should be consulted.

Oily skin, blackheads, papules, pustules
Due to the positive influence of male sex hormones (androgens) on the production of sebum can clog pores. In consequence of which leads to the formation of comedones (blackheads). These can be open or closed comedones and appear therefore as a small black or yellow dots. The dark color is caused by melanin. Equally striking is that those affected have due to the increased production of sebum often have a very oily skin. Also, a combination skin with oily T-zone is often encountered. The above mentioned comedones are therefore the first sign of acne. Mild forms remain available at this point, we speak of a very mild acne vulgaris (common acne) and a non-inflammatory stage. However, it may then caused by the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (the acne bacterium) and Staphylococcus epidermidis a danger of ignition and the emergence of papules and pustules (inflammatory stage). In particular, the severe forms of acne are highlighted even more by inflammatory nodules and cysts. Swelling, itching and pain to headaches, fever and sepsis can go hand in hand there.

Occurrence of acne lesions
Acne lesions may appear basically anywhere where sebaceous glands are sitting. Especially in areas with many of these glands, such as face, neck, back, shoulder and neckline are blackheads, pustules and papules found. However, the armpits, groin, buttocks and genital area may be involved in certain forms. Quite often it is more inflammation in the game that hurt.
Acne scars

Another typical appearance of acne scars are (defect state), but not occur in mild forms of acne. Acne comedo example resolves completely without scarring. It takes but a few days, sometimes weeks. The interested party in this case must necessarily forego their own skin experiments, especially an improper expression or squeezing of pimples or blackheads. This can lead to bacterial infection and subsequent scarring. For cleansing, a beautician are visited, from the skin manifestations such professionally.

For acne sufferers are the three described stages or phases, ie

• predominant primary noninflammatory (blackheads),
• secondary inflammatory lesions (pimples) and
• not more inflammatory lesions tertiary (scar)
