| In puberty acne is certainly one of the most common
skin changes. The main reason for this is overproduction of the male hormone – testosterone, which is formed in men’s testicles and women’s ovaries and suprarenal glands. This hormone changes the characteristics of the fat (sebum), the colour, density, structure and also increases the production of it, which can, already from far, be seen as a shiny fatty / oily skin. This is how a non-inflammatory acne is formed, the so-called blackheads or comedones. A black head is typical for them.The bacterium exists also on the skin of healthy people. When acne is being formed and a large amount of fat (sebum) comes out, the bacterium settles in the sebaceous glands, it multiplies there and causes various processes of inflammation. A redness appears on the acne spot, which often festers and changes colour, becoming yellow. If you are prone to a misfunction of sebaceous glands, this may contribute to the development of acne. |
