When Acne Attacks: Your skin’s oil glands are affected by a disease known as Acne. Your pores connect the oil glands that are under the skin. Sebum is the oily substance that is produced by the oily glands. The follicle is a canal that connects your pores and oily glands. Dead skin cells are carried by oil inside the follicles to the surface of your skin. Through the follicle a thin hair can grow out of the skin. A pimple is developed when the follicle of a skin gland gets blocked.
Face, neck, back, chest and shoulders are the places where mostly pimples are formed. Acne is not at all injurious to health but it does leave a mark or even a scar on your skin if you do not take care of it correctly.
The developing stages of Acne: A plug is formed when at times the hair, sebum, and skin cells form a cluster. Swelling takes place because of the bacteria in the plug. When the plug starts to break down a pimple is formed. There are many kinds of pimples; some of them are whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts etc.
Whiteheads:- These type of pimples are found to stick under the skin's surface.
Papules:- These pimples appear to be soft and can be seen as small pink bulges.
Blackheads:- These type of pimples are black in color and are found risen above the skin's surface. These appear to be black but it is not due to the accumulated dirt.
Cysts:- These pimples too are found to be deep and painful. But these pimples are filled with pus and can form scars.
Nodules:- These pimples are found deep within the skin. These appear to be large and are painful solid pimples.
