 Obstruction of the pores and bacterial growth are the two main causes of acne.
Two types of acne:
Non-Inflammatory or Comedonal acne (Whiteheads & blackheads) – is typically shallow and present pores that have been blocked. Whiteheads have a closed top while blackheads are open on the surface.
Inflammatory Acne – Superficial inflammatory acne consists of populas (small bumps), nodules (large bumps) and cysts (very large, deep and occasionally tender bumps). These consequence when the pore ruptures, releasing chemicals that lead to enlarged numbers of white cells. This allows acne bacteria to increase. A typical teenager will have some acne because of a tremendous increase in hormones during teenage years.
