1. What is acne? - ANSWER An inherited inflammatory skin condition. (It is
primarily and issue concerning dead skin cells with the propensity for
inflammation.)*
2. How does acne form? - ANSWER Retention Hyperkeratosis
(The overabundance of skin cells that shed rapidly)
Corneocytes
(Abnormally sticky skin cell)
P. Acne Bacteria
(Skin cells, sebum, and hair clump together into a plug. This plug gets infected
with bacteria, and swelling results)
Acne
An inherited condition
3. Closed Comedones (Whiteheads) - ANSWER Non-Inflamed lesions
under the skin
, 4. Open Comedones (Blackhead) - ANSWER When the pore remains
open, the tip of the plug darkens as it is exposed to oxygen in the
environment
5. Inflammatory Papule (Pimple) - ANSWER As the oil and dead skin cells
build up its more inflammation and puts pressure on the cells surrounding
the pore. With enough pressure the sides of the pore rupture and the
contents of the pore leak into the surrounding skin. Because the sebaceous
material contains a lot of p. acne bacteria the surrounding skin now
becomes infected, creating a red bump we know as a pimple. The medical
term is inflammatory papule.
6. Inflammatory pustule - ANSWER Different from a pimple, only in that it
contains white blood cells. When the immune system fights off the p. acnes
infection, white blood cells, the immune systems main line of defense pile
up creating puss inside the pore.
7. Nodule or Cyst - ANSWER Deeper inflamed lesions can form known as a
nodule or cyst. These are solid dome shaped lesions that extend below the
surface deep into the layers of the skin. Scarring is common with nodules
and can sometimes leave an impaction behind, which can flare again and
again. When a group of pustules cluster together under the skin they form
a cyst, an acne cyst can apear similar to a nodule but its puss filled and can
have a diameter of five mililiters or more across. They are usually very
painful and scaring is common with cysts.
8. Products in relation to acne - ANSWER Most acne regardless of its form
begins with microcomidones there for products need to penetrate inside
the pore to address acne at the source. Which will prevent
microcomedones from forming.
