The word acne<\/strong> comes from a Greek word that means \"efflorescence\"<\/strong> or \"movie\"<\/strong>. It is a disease<\/strong> of the skin caused by chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Acne\"Excessive secretions from these glands, along with dead skin cells, cause a blockage in the hair follicle. Under the clogged pore, fatty secretions harbor epidermal bacteria Propionibacterium acnes<\/strong>, which infects the pore and causes the excretion of pus.<\/p>\n

Acne usually appears on the face and back during the puberty<\/strong>, as an abnormal response to the hormone testosterone. Over time, acne usually diminishes or even disappears.<\/p>\n

In addition to hormonal activity, acne is partially hereditary and can arise from stress<\/strong>, the accumulation of dead skin cells, the presence of bacteria in the pores and exposure to high levels of chlorine.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, there are factors that are often mentioned as causing acne but which, according to specialists, are not. Some food<\/strong>, like fried foods or chocolate, are high in fat and promote sebaceous secretions, which can make existing acne worse. In any case, several scientific studies affirm that they would not produce the appearance of the disease.<\/p>\n

There are different types of acne based on the external appearance they have and when they appear. Thus, we find, for example, the so-called acne vulgaris, which is the one that occurs most commonly among adolescents and is characterized by the appearance of phonicles or pustules on the neck and face.<\/p>\n

In the same way, we can also talk about premenstrual acne, which is one that, as its name suggests, manifests itself on a woman's face during the period before her menstruation comes.<\/p>\n

Another of the most common types is acne neonatorum, which is the one that every newborn presents and that appears especially during the first 72 hours of life. And we cannot forget the tropical acne that receives this name because it appears in the parts of the body that are considered more humid and warmer, such as the buttocks or the thighs, among other things.<\/p>\n

The most common treatment against acne is usually the skin exfoliation<\/strong>, which can be achieved through an abrasive cloth or through a chemical procedure with acid<\/strong> salicylic<\/strong> or Glycolic Acid<\/strong>. Other treatments include bactericides, antibiotics, and hormonal treatments.<\/p>\n

In this sense, we cannot forget that there are various treatments or home remedies against acne, as would be the case, for example, of the daily application on the grains of aloe vera gel or a few drops of lemon juice.<\/p>\n

Garlic, cucumber, oatmeal, carrot or even alcohol itself are other products that are used to carry out the home treatment of acne problems as established by the so-called \"grandmother's remedies\" .<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
