Acne is related with inflammatory skin disease which mainly affects our neck, chest, face and upper back. Usually the acne is caused by an interaction between the bacteria, hormones and also the sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. The most common symptoms of the acne are comedones (pimples), pustiles (lesions filled with pus) and sometimes in the form of cysts. It is said that acne is the result of attaining the age of puberty but in many women acne continues for throughout the life or in some women acne appears in adulthood. With the changed level of hormones the appearance of hormones is affected.

There are many different types of treatment of acne but basically the treatment of acne depends upon the severity of the acne. If there is mild acne it can easily be treated by washing regularly your face with gental toilet soap or by some drying agents like benzoyl peroxide. But if the acne is of severe nature then it may be treated with the antibiotics like tetracycline or with hormone therapy.

There are lots of factors which are responsible for the formation of acne. Some of the important factors are given below:

1. Hyperactive sebaceous glands
2. Accumulation of dead skin cells
3. Presence of bacteria in pores
4. Anabolic steroids
5. Birth control pills, but in some women acne has reduced by taking the pills
6. By exposure to high levels of chlorine compounds
7. Irritation of the skin.

All types of acne can be easily treated with the help of medicines, herbal supplements, natural remedies and also some skin care products. Mostly acne is formed due to wrong food habits, improper food, and also due to irregular habits of eating. In some cases excess of starch, sugar and fatty foods are also responsible for growing acne. So to avoid acne it is necessary to rectify these things. Chronic constipation is also one of the major problems of acne.

All the stages of acne whether it is mild or severe can be cured by the help of pharmaceutical products which help our skin to prevent blockage of sebaceous ducts. In more severe cases you must consult to your doctor and follow his prescribed medicines. You should contact to a dermatologist if you are suffering from severe acne.
