When ACNE is more than just a skin disorder!

Acne is one of the most common prevalent skin conditions. Our skin is covered with many tiny holes, commonly referred to as hair follicles or pores, which contain oil glands that help to keep skin and hair moisturized.

Acne symptoms include redness around pimples and small red bumps. Although, not a life-threatening condition, it can cause a lot of emotional distress. Researchers note that people with acne often develop depression and anxiety. The low self-esteem and poor self-image they form about themselves makes them withdraw from social circles.

Acne is more than just a skin order. Several factors can trigger it. During puberty, hormonal changes in adolescence increase the skin’s oil content resulting in clogged pores, also known as pimples. Hormonal acne related to puberty usually subsides, or at least improves when you reach adulthood.

Likewise, high humidity, sweat, and stress also aggravate acne. In times of stress, your stress hormones rise and trigger your oil glands to produce more oil, which then triggers acne breakouts. Stress acne, as opposed to other types of breakouts, will usually appear in the oiliest areas of your face, the T-zone.

Hormonal changes during your menstrual periods also play a similar role increasing the androgen levels. This has the same affect on oil glands. If you notice your acne breaking out in the same place around the same time of month—i.e., your chin or jawline—you can bet that your acne is likely related to your menstrual cycle.

Certain medications can also contribute to its cause. People of all ages, including babies and elders, can develop acne. Even people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s can develop acne.

Treatment of acne should be started as early as possible to minimise the risk of scarring and adverse psychological effects. For many people acne also takes a toll on one’s emotional health. Studies show that the longer acne lasts, the more likely it is to affect one’s emotions.

Hence, it is important to trace the actual cause. At Cozmaa we trace the root causes. This helps in chalking out the best, right and most effective solutions and skin care treatment for you.
