What causes an Acne Breakout?

We have thousands of very fine hairs on our faces, chests and
upper backs. Under our skin, and attached to each of these hair
follicles, are sebaceous glands, which produce an oily substance
called sebum. Normally, sebum is a good thing as it prevents our
skin from drying out, makes our skin glow, and keeps it soft and
supple as well.
But acne is caused by the overactivity of these glands which
then produce too much sebum and secrete the oily substances onto
our skin.
The level of hormones in our bodies is mostly responsible for
causing the glands to produce an excess of oil. Eventually, this
combines with the uneven shedding of dead skin cells and ends
up clogging our pores.
When our pores get clogged, this causes blackheads and whiteheads,
which can stay clogged up in our pores for years and years. More
serious acne problems, like pimples, nodules and cysts form when
bacteria becomes part of the mix.
A bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes normally lives harmlessly
on your skin but when excess oil begins clogging up the pores,
it feeds off the sebum and produces chemicals and enzymes which
cause a response from the body's immune system. The skin becomes
inflamed and can then lead to an outbreak of pimples, painful
nodules (under the skin), or cysts. Acne nodules and cysts can
rupture, spreading infection into skin tissue which can then result
in deep and permanent scarring.
Some factors known to trigger outbreaks of acne
include:
Hormonal changes during adolescence.
Hormonal changes as an adult. The menstrual cycle is one of the
most common acne triggers. An outbreak may occur a few days before
the cycle begins and go away after the cycle is finished. Other
hormone changes, such as pregnancy and menopause, also affect
acne – improving the condition for some women and worsening
it for others.
Use of oral contraceptives.
Make-up. Women with moderate or severe acne should use oil-free
cosmetics and moisturizers. Oily hair products also can eventually
spread over the forehead, causing blocked pores.
Pressure or friction on the skin. Friction caused by caps, bike
helmets or backpacks can make acne worse.
Genetics. If other people in your family have acne, there is a
greater chance you will have it.
Stress can make acne worse as this creates hormonal imbalances
Picking and squeezing at spots may cause further inflammation
and scarring
Hard scrubbing of the skin
Pollution and other environmental irritants
Stress or emotional tension
Hormonal Changes or Imbalances
Squeezing or picking at pimples
Working in a damp environment with oil, grease or chemicals
Drugs or Medications
Pressure from caps, hats or backpacks
Failure to wash or shower after perspiring heavily
There is no single element that is responsible for causing
acne, which is why you need to be aware of all the factors which
contribute to outbreaks.
