Because nearly 17 million people in the United Status suffer from acne, it has become one of the most common skin diseases in the United States. Nearly 85 percent of people between the ages of 12 and 24 get acne at one time or another; it is most typically found in teenagers and young adults. Usually, acne goes away by the age of 30; however, some people in their 40's and 50's still suffer from acne.
The cause of pimples is unknown. The process by which a pimple develops is highly intricate. While we do know that a pore collapses on itself and blocks sebum (oil) from escaping, we do not fully understand why this process takes place in one sebaceous gland versus another.
Causes of adult acne and teen acne may include hormones, diet, evolutionary biology, vitamin deficiency, stress, and more. The real explanation may be a complex mix of many of these factors. Most pimples are found on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. Acne is not a serious health threat but, it can cause scars both physically and emotionally.
Pimples grow when body hair, sebum (oil), and skin cells clump together into a plug. Bacteria in the plug cause swelling. When the plug starts to break down, a pimple appears.
Since we do not know exactly what causes pimples, our time is better spent finding and testing an effective treatment.
The most common types of pimples are:
1. Whiteheads. Pimples that stay under the skin's surface.
2. Blackheads. These are pimples that have a black color, and they have risen to the surface of the skin. Some people say that this black color is from dirt, but that is not true.
3. Papules. These are small pink bumps that can be tender.
4. Pustules. Pimples that are red at the bottom and have pus on the top.
5. Nodules. These are large, painful, solid pimples that are deep in the skin.
6. Cysts. These deep, painful, pus-filled pimples can cause scars.
