Eliminating pimples has been the goal of acne treatment. Acne is pustular eruptions, localized abscessed formation and local inflammatory conditions of the dermis and epidermis skin layers. Endogenous hormones (mainly androgens), which are present in unusually high concentrations in the blood during adolescence and puberty give rise to an excessive production of sebum (or oil). The condition may worsen by a simultaneous increase in the rate of keratin in the skin's outer layer that causes skin cell death. As the outer layer cells proliferate, they can form an occlusive plug or comedone which coupled with the increased production of the sebum, represents an ideal medium for the proliferation of the skin resident anaerobic bacterium, P. acnes . Plugged follicles may take the form of either whiteheads, where the plug in the follicle remains beneath the skin's surface, or blackheads, where the plug in the follicle extends to the skin's surface and becomes visible. In the majority of these clogged follicles, the bacterium P. acnes will cause swelling, itching, and redness around the follicle. The bacterium P. acnes is normally present in all skin types as part of the skin's sebum maintenance system. In a hair follicle, P. acnes produces enzymes that break down sebum creating a balance of oil in the skin. However, a clogged follicle creates an ideal environment for this sebum-eating skin bacterium to multiply. Consequently, the increase of P. acnes and its enzymes irritates and inflames the skin resulting in acne. Furthermore, P. acnes is responsible for at least 90% of all acne cases. There are many myths about what causes pimples. Stress does not cause acne, and neither does eating greasy foods. Another common myth is that dirty skin causes pimples, but studies have shown that blackheads and other acne lesions are not caused by dirt. There are many over-the-counter and precription acne medications. Experts recommend different ones for different people, but none have been totally effective in a large portion of the population.

What is acne and were do pimples develop?

Acne is a skin disease where red bumps, clogged pores, and tender cysts develop in the skin. Acne is generally found in areas of the skin with the greatest amount of hair follicles, including the face, the upper part of the chest, and the back. Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also appear in noninflammatory forms.

Who gets acne?

Acne typically develops during adolescence but is also common in adults. It affects anywhere from 85% to more than 95% of teenagers. Adult acne, in contrast to the type of acne found in adolescents, occurs more often in women. Acne is in fact so common in adults that about one in every five women over 25 has acne. While some adults have persistent acne, meaning they have lived with acne that started when they were teenagers, others have late-onset acne, which refers to getting acne for the first time in adulthood.

For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear, or at least decrease, after the early twenties. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict how long it will take to disappear entirely.

What causes acne?

Each acne blemish starts as a clogged pore (opening of hair follicles). Pores clog because the skin cells at the surface of some pores do not shed normally and stick together blocking the pore. When a pore is clogged, the natural oils (sebaceous material) from the hair follicle build up in the pore creating pressure and an airtight, warm environment for P. acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne, to grow and flourish. The combination of blocked sebum, bacteria, and white blood cells (pus) lead to inflammation and eventually noticeable and tender bumps referred to as acne. The process from clogged pore to visible pimples is about two weeks, meaning the bumps that are currently seen on the skin began about two weeks ago.

While hormones can contribute to acne, they are not the only factor. Most people who have acne do not have hormonal imbalances. One such hormone that can contribute to acne is cortisol, which is a hormone that releases when under stress and helps you stay alive in life or death situations. Cortisol increases sebaceous oil production and inflammation in the skin.

While certain "causes" of acne have been disproved, such as the link between chocolate or Pizza and acne, cow's milk, which contains hormones, and diets high in carbohydrates, which cause inflammation, can contribute to acne.

How to treat Acne

If you continue to purchase oil free products or products that exfoliate the skin maybe it is time to try a completely different approach to prevent your skin from breaking out. Oil Free" is not necessarily a good thing when treating acne. When your skin gets too dry, its natural response is to create more oil, which can result in more breakouts.

Exfoliating the outer layer of the skin with an exfoliant such as salicylic acid will not stop or heal an infection that is underneath the skin. Drying the skin will signal the body to create more oil, resulting in more acne. It is often assumed that debris and oil on the outer layer of the skin is the major reason pores become clogged; however, inflammation, often caused by hormonal fluctuations, can enlarge the pores and glands which more often increases the potential for pores and the glands to become clogged and infected.

There is a new product devleped by BioScriptives that performs very diffetnly then other products. Repiderm, formulated with Dermal-Release Technology combined with benzoyl peroxide and 16 unique herbal extracts, essential oils and nutrients that down regulate the production of oil, is formulated in a manner that prevents ingredients from degrading and delivers those ingredients deep into the sebaceous gland to heal acne faster and prevent future breakouts. Without being able to penetrate the outer layers of the skin with Derma-Release Technology, this unique blend of 16 herbal extracts, oils, nutrients and actives would not kill an infection as effectively as Repiderm.
