Acne in Adolescents- Causes and Treatment
Acne is a fairly common problem and most of those affected are usally teens or adolescents. More often young boys are more affected with it as compared to girls. The peak age when acne occurs in girls is 14 to 17 years and for boys it is 16 to 19 years.
One of the main reasons of acne in teens and adolesecents is increased hormonal activity or increase in androgen secretion.
Before this increase in androgen secretion during puberty, the sebaceous glands that enter ito the hair follicle are small and relatively inactive, so acne is non existent.
The following changes associated with puberty cause acne to develop:
- androgen production and secretion increases and the sebaceous glands beome active
- abnormal keratinization (cell growth) of the lining of the ducts occurs; this overgrowth obstructs the ducts.
- the output of sebeum increases which is mainly composed of triglycerides
- because of narrow gland ducts all the material formed cannot be eliminated to the surface of the skin, the glands enlarge and trapped sebum leads to whiteheads or clsed comedones
- as sebum darkens with the accumulation of melanin and oxidation of the fatty acid component on being exposed to air, blackheads or open comedones form
- bacteria thrives in these retained secretions and forms papules
- if glands rupture, sebum is extruded into adjacent skin, which produces reddened inflammatory cysts.
Acne is categorized as mild (comedones are present), moderate (papules and pustules are also present), or sever (cysts are present). The most common locations of acne lesions are the face, neck, back, upper arms, and chest. Flare-ups are associated with emotional stress, menstrual periods, or the use of greasy hair creams or makeup that can further plug gland ducts.
There are many acne treatments and home remedies for getting rid of pimples. But more often acne is just more than a topical problem as already stated above. Therefore it require much more than a topical application to get rid of acne and prevent future flareups.
