Acne :
Acne is a disease of the sebatccous glands.
The cause many believe by an increase in
hormones brought on by the onset of
puberty.
Although primarily a "teenage" affliction, acne
has been known to continue well into the
adulthood and in some has become a long life battle.
Acne Factors:
There are several factors that contribute to acne and its proliferation. The key players are the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. The sebaceous glands produce an oily substance called sebum
that drains into the follicular canal and eventually onto the surface of the skin..
During adolescence, increased hormone levels enlarge the sebacceous glands and cause them to produce more sebum than usual.
