When our world thinks of acne, they think of someones face full of acne. A outbreak of red or inflamed pores on hers or his face. Well that is a common form of acne but is not the only type that many people experience. I made this blog to help and inform many people about the many types of acne as well as to help control it and cure it.
Their are many causes of acne and they can form on different areas of our bodies. As long as pores and hair follicles which are tiny microscopic openings on our body that become clogged with oil, dust, dirt or any outside particles, they can be come inflamed or irritated. That's when acne begins to start, they soon close up and trap the man particles which cause eruptions or rashes of blackheads and many types of inflamed cysts.There after begins a whole army of uncontrolled acne to begin.
When looking around your body and you happen to find acne like symptoms other than your face, there is no need to panic. You are experiencing a different type of acne, you may want to try to find the location of this outbreak and try to see what led it to form.
Acne vulgaris is the most common form of acne. It is often experienced during puberty because of fluctuating hormone levels. Acne that appears is usually on the face and can spread to areas around the shoulders, chest, and sometimes the back. Though the reason for the acne is internal and not a great deal can be done, you can lessen outbreaks by keeping clean, eating right, getting exercise, and using medication as necessary.
Acne rosacea appears as a red rash that occurs primarily on the face. While the cause of this form is unknown, you can try to control it by using gentle cleansers and sometimes medication can be prescribed if needed.
Acne keloidalis nuchae is caused by shaving. A close shave can leave follicles open, irritated, and more susceptible to outside elements. Men can get this form of acne on their faces and women may find it on their legs and occasionally in their armpits. People commonly refer to this type of acne as razor bumps.
Acne conglobata is if you find recurring abscesses around your groin, buttocks, underarms, and for women, under the breasts, you may have this type of acne.
Sweat glands and hair follicles in these areas have become inflamed, leading to uncomfortable sores. Keep these areas clean and use gentle cleansers that do not clog pores. You may require medication also.
Acne cosmetica is if you are experiencing acne but are past puberty, do not have any other reasons for hormonal changes, eat right and keep clean, the cause behind this acne is the cosmetics you use. They are getting into your pores and clogging them up, leading to acne. Always be sure to wash your cosmetics off once you do not need them on any longer, and you would do well to switch to different cosmetics altogether.
Acne fulminans is an extreme form of acne conglobata. Seek help from your dermatologist in order to find more aggressive ways of combating this form of acne.
Acne medicamentosa. Medications these days have all sorts of side effects. In this case, some medications may cause acne. Because your body adjusts to the medication, even beginning or ending taking a medication can affect your body and lead to acne. Check with a doctor or consult the information about a particular medication if you believe it may be the reason for your acne.
Baby acne. If you are not the one with acne, but have seen a rash on the skin of your baby, either on his or her cheeks, chin, or forehead, do not worry too much, as it is only a mild form of acne that some infants may get. It should clear up on its own, but if you are still concerned, consult your pediatrician.
Chloracne. Being in a position that exposes you to chlorinated hydrocarbons can cause a rash like form of acne. Dioxins or PCBs are good examples of chlorinated hydrocarbons, so if you deal with these two components, you may also be experiencing related acne.
The easiest way to rid yourself of this form of acne is to stop dealing and handling chlorinated hydrocarbons. This does take time to disappear, sometimes gentle cleansers are needed to free yourself from this form of acne.
