Severe Acne

Severe acne is a recurring disease. Severe acne is characterized by deep cysts, inflammation, extensive damage to the skin and scarring. Blackheads are dark formations on the skin due to an accumulated mixture of oil and cells in a blocked skin pore. The areas of the skin that are most susceptible to acne are those areas that contain the largest number of oil glands. Hormonal changes related to pregnancy or menstrual periods can also cause or contribute to acne. Two main types of acne include non-inflammatory acne and inflammatory acne. Acne commonly occurs in people between their teenage years and their 20s. However, it is not restricted to this age. Older adults and children can also have acne. People with acne frequently have a variety of lesions. The basic acne lesion, called the comedo, is simply an enlarged and plugged hair follicle. It is only a skin problem and does not affect your general health. Acne is not caused by dirt.

An acne cyst can appear similar to a nodule, but is pus-filled, and has been described as having a diameter of 5mm or more across. The term acne comes from a corruption of the Greek in the writings of Aëtius Amidenus. Severe acne is a skin condition also known as pimples. There are many myths about what causes acne. Use of the effect of sex hormones, teenagers are quite likely to develop acne. Acne often causes emotional distress and can lead to scarring of the skin. Chocolate and greasy foods are often blamed, but foods seem to have little effect on the development and course of acne in most people. Acne will improve over time for most people. For some people, though, acne is more difficult to treat. Accutane (isotretinoin) is a strong medication that can reduce the emotional and physical scarring of severe acne. In some cases, severe acne can remove by surgery treatments that include red or blue light therapy and clear light therapy.
