Acne Breakout Causes: The Facts

Acne is a dermatological disorder that can be very disfiguring. It is a popular myth than it only affects teenagers, as it is frequently seen in adults too. Acne is a very common condition and it has long-term effects too. Let’s take a look at some of the most important acne breakout causes so that we can better understand the reasons why so many people find themselves enduring this unpleasant condition.

How Does It Start?

This is clear enough. Acne has its origins in the blockage of hair follicles in the skin. The sebaceous glands that feed into the follicles, or pores as they are commonly described, produce a natural oil called sebum. The follicles also make keratin, an essential component of the skin’s outer layers. Keratin is also an ingredient in hair and nails. Increased production of keratin and sebum may lead to blockage of the follicles and it is this that leads to acne.

It may not sound appealing, but the skin’s surface is usually populated with millions on bacteria. One of these, “Propionibacterium Acnes”, is normally harmless. When pores become blocked, though, P. Acnes infects the blocked ducts, causing inflammation and damaging the surrounding skin tissue. This is what leads to the appearance of the classic acne symptoms. P. acnes is an anaerobic bacterium, meaning that it does not use oxygen to survive. In fact, it does best in the absence of oxygen so it’s perfectly adapted to cause maximum trouble in blocked pores.

Genetics, Hormones And Acne

When looking into acne breakout causes, some important factors come to the fore: hormones and genetics. A predisposition to severe acne definitely runs in families. It is related to the rate of keratin production. In some families, the specific genetic coding for keratin is more active and so each generation tends to suffer acne.

The production of sebum increases at the time of puberty due to the presence of male sex hormones called androgens. These hormones can cause enlargement of the sebaceous glands and an increase in sebum production. Blocked pores occur and  when this happens they appear as blackheads, papules, pustules and so on. Sometimes they turn into closed pockets of dead skin cells called milia. In girls and women there are hormonal changes which accompany menstrual cycles and these also contribute to the appearance of acne.

Common acne (known medically as acne vulgaris) is frequently a problem during adolescence and early adulthood. As we have pointed out, though, lots of adults get it too. What are the acne breakout causes later on in life? In women, one identifiable breakout cause is pregnancy, when hormone activity increases. The menopause has also been blamed, and this is due to reducing production of the female hormone estradiol.

Stress and Diet

The popular notion that acne and stress are related has been documented in practice, but the exact cause/effect relationship is still in doubt. One school of thought proposes that an individual that endures chronic stress may be more likely to have an outbreak of acne, or that stress makes an outbreak worse. The controversy lies in the fact that suffering acne is itself a stressful and unpleasant experience, and this alone may be sufficient to explain why stress and acne are frequently observed together.

One of the acne breakout causes that can be controlled is diet. There is some evidence that acne’s severity can be reduced by sticking to a good, sensible diet.

What do you think about my acne causes?
Acne is a severe and constant skin complaint that needs treatment, unlike occasional spots, which however bad they seem, CAN be caused by diet.

Acne doesn’t ever ‘clear up’ naturally over weeks – it takes years of age (sometimes literally decades, being most harmful physically and socially during adolesecence) while hormones decrease unless medically treated.There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.

It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It’s been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)

Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.

This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:

Search up “Cee En’s Acne Solution” on ebay.

First 100 customers can get the item for $ 1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $ 40 or 6 month supply for $ 160

It’s expensive, but the product DOES work.

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.

I don’t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.

check the seller’s feedbacks on the cream

I hope this helps. =)

  7. marioftwpwned says:

    @FOBmzunguREPTILICUS um lol? vaccines are the dead version of whatever your trying to protect yourself from so when the dead virus enters your body it wont damage you and the body can identify it as a intruder and better protect its self. dont go spreading that vaccines are bad for you, someone might read your post and think that vaccines are bad and as a result they wont give their children a vaccine and they might get the virus and die.

    So the so-called vaccine that “they” pumped into us when we were born has nothing to do with acne? U can say all u want, DOC, but if you dont wanna do research on the certain vaccine and its reactions to certain youths and adults, then, ur pushing drugz for BIG PHARMA!!! “…and the truth shall make you free!!!” -Yahshua

  22. nataliaUful says:

    acne is a disease???!!!

  23. bloodfalcon7722 says:

    @nickash5 it release endorfens or how ever they are spelt which will cause you to not have as much acne

  24. nickash5 says:

    @bloodfalcon7722
    Always thought that sexual activity causes the production of more hormones. Anyway, excess causes hormonal imbalance and baldness. So why not just focus on treating the skin and controlling the environment and diet first.

  25. nickash5 says:

    If you are wash regularly with the right cleansers then:
    reduce your protein consumption. Egg yolks too.
    You could be having a reaction to certain foods.
    You could totally cut meat from your diet too.
    Enough sleep and rest.
    Of course make sure you drink enough of plain water in a day.

  28. hamzehrocks100 says:

    @Mary16c Just wash you’re face with hot water and soup. (Hot water opens the pours) (Soup clean’s it) it’s what i do and i got rid of all mine.

  29. PepsiDude97 says:

  30. MsBanAna109 says:

    proativ made my skin REALLY dry and made me break out more… i have different skin so dont go by what i say. i had a reaction 2 it and had to throw it out

  31. 159857579 says:

    @Mary16c youre diet

  32. bloodfalcon7722 says:

    masturbating or having sex decreases hormone’s in the human body in which cause can clam or prevent you from having break outs not the other way around… also drinking water helps a lot as it cleans you system much faster then other fluids making it the less likly-hood of acne appearing. cystic acne is almost always treated with oral meds, because topical washs. such as proactiv and many other products wont get to the root problem with cycst, and poping your pimples leaves scars.

  33. hot1cold0 says:

    drink more water guys it realy helps

  34. Caricatawaul says:

    wut

  35. AdolfoMendoza300 says:

    @tonyblackops ill think about that.

  36. tonyblackops says:

    @AdolfoMendoza300 it’s actually a cure. when you don’t masturbate or have sex. your hormones will increase and thus causing acne. when you masturbate WITH ejaculation then you will decrease the hormone level in blood.
