“It is a skin disease that occurs primarily in adolescence and results in increased skin oiliness, as well as a variety of lesions on the face and body. It is caused by overactivity of the sebaceous glands, combined with obstruction of their efferent duct, and by colonization of the skin with the microbe Propionibacterium acnes”, as the Dermatologist \u2013 Venereologist Dr. Amalia Tsiatoura states.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n

Acne, most commonly, occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged. Each pore corresponds to a hair follicle, which includes hair and oil glands. If the gland becomes blocked, hair and oil become trapped inside it, leading to the formation of pimples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During adolescence, overproduction of sebum due to hormonal changes leads to the appearance of acne. Also, cosmetics that are not indicated for the skin type of the individual can lead to the appearance of acne. This is because they “block” the pores of the hair follicles, resulting in the appearance of acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking medications, such as chronic cortisone intake, can also lead to the appearance of acne. Certain foods, such as high-fat foods, chocolate and alcohol, have been implicated in the development of acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acne usually manifests itself in the form of cysts, papules and pustules (red pimples with white or yellow pus). Often there is intense redness at the sites of the cysts. It may also appear with black or white spots. Acne occurs mainly on the face and neck, as well as on the body, back, chest and shoulders.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
