Acne is a skin condition which occurs when your hair follicles become blocked with sebum and dead skin cells. Spots and redness start to appear on the face, and can also affect your shoulders, chest and back.
The common symptoms of acne can be a combination of whiteheads, blackheads, redness of the skin and small bumps on the skin. In more severe cases, symptoms can include hard lumps on the skin and pus-filled cysts.
There is no evidence that acne is linked to a balanced, healthy diet but it may help along with drinking lots of water to keep the skin hydrated. It is very important to remember not to pick or squeeze your spots, this will only make things worse and also increase inflammation and spread the germs to other areas of your skin.
When hormone levels increase within our body, it can begin to create more oil than we normally would. The excess oil can start to block pores and mix with dead skin which can therefore create inflammation or infection due to bacteria build up. The skin condition is likely to start during the ages associated with puberty for example teenagers. It can also affect people outside of this age range due to pregnancy, stress and age related changes of hormone levels.
There are oral contraceptive treatments that can help the management of acne. This is usually a popular method for women who are looking to improve their skin and are also looking for contraception.
Acne can often trigger mental health issues for those suffering with the skin condition. The issues associated can be stress and anxiety related to the physical effects of acne. If you are feeling this way due to acne, it is advised to speak with your GP and ensure you access the support you need to feel better.
