Acne Treatment in India

In medical terms, Acne is known as Acne Vulgaris, which is a skin disease that involves the oil glands at the base of hair follicles. There's a reason it's called "common acne" as everyone nearly suffers from a pimple outbreak at some point in life. Pimples grow when these follicles get blocked, resulting in an accumulation of oil under the skin. Acne starts when greasy secretions from the skin's sebaceous (oil) glands come to life during puberty. The glands are stimulated by male hormones produced by the adrenal glands of both males and females. Acne is not dangerous, but can leave skin scars.

Although acne remains largely a curse of adolescence, about 20% of all cases occur in adults. Acne commonly starts during puberty between the ages of 10 and 13 and tends to be worse in people with oily skin. Teenage acne usually lasts for five to 10 years, normally going away during the early 20s. It occurs in both sexes, although teenage boys tend to have the most severe cases. Women are more likely than men to have mild to moderate forms into their 30s and beyond.

What Causes Acne? How common is it?
The cause of acne is quite unclear. Though stress can be one of the reason for acne, it clearly does not cause it. Common sites of acne are the face, chest, shoulders and back which are the sites of oil glands.
Dermatologists says that approximately three-quarters of 11 to 30 year-olds will get acne at some time. Hormones are the common cause for acne in teenagers starts with an increase in hormone production.
