Why do we have a splinter?

Acne clogs are caused by acne clogs (comedones) infected with C. acnes (or P. acnes) bacteria. Once these bacteria enter the clogged pores, they trigger inflammation. This inflammation causes swelling, redness and pain.

The main causes of acne inflammation:

Pore obstruction:

Dirt, dead skin cells, and excess oil (sebum) clog pores, causing acne clogs.

Bacterial infection:

C. acnes bacteria, which live in clogged pores, increase the number and stimulate inflammation.

Overproduction of oil:

Fat glands produce too much oil (sebum), which is the food of C. acnes bacteria.

Hormones:

Hormonal changes, especially in adolescence, or during hormonal changes in the body.

Other factors:

Stress, inadequate rest, eating certain foods, frequent facial contact, or the use of certain drugs can be a trigger for acne inflammation.

Types of acne inflammation:

Red blister acne (Papules):

Small Acne Inflammation Appearance Red Embossed Blister.

Pustules:

Acne with white or yellow pus.

Elephant head (Nodules):

Large pimples are hard and sore.

Acne cysts (Cysts):

The most severe acne is characterized by large and painful pus.

Prevention and treatment:

Keep the skin clean:

Wash your face twice a day with gentle cleaning products.

Avoid squeezing acne:

Squeezing acne can cause infections and scars.

Use acne products:

Consult a dermatologist to select acne products suitable for skin conditions.

Stress management:

Find time to rest and do stress-reducing activities. Sebaceous filaments are the characteristics of fat-filled pores and dead skin cells as part of the normal working process of the skin. They are generally seen as small white or yellow spots in the nose and chin area. Not acne caused by inflammation, but something that can happen to anyone, especially those with oily skin.

Characteristics of acne, fat in strands:

Characteristics:

It's a small white or yellow dot, like a hair, or a line that can be squeezed out.

Position:

It is more common in the nose, chin, and wide pore areas.

Cause:

It is caused by the accumulation of fat (sebum) and dead skin cells in pores.

Not acne:

It's not inflammatory like a typical acne, so there's no pain or swelling.

Care and prevention:

Facial Cleansing:

Wash your face with gentle cleaning products to remove excess oils.

Exfoliation:

Light exfoliation removes dead skin cells and reduces follicle obstruction.

Products for oily skin:

Use products that help control oil and do not cause blockage.

Avoid squeezing or sheep:

Squeezing or sheep can cause inflammation and leave marks.

Consult the experts:

If you are worried or have a lot of problems, you can consult a dermatologist for Blackheads, caused by clogged pores with oil (fat or sebum), dead skin cells, and dirt. Unlike white head acne because black heads open to the air, oxidation of clogged fat and oxygen in the air becomes black.

The main cause of black head obstruction acne

1. Excessive oil production

The sebaceous glands produce too much oil, making them highly likely to clog pores.

2. Unbalanced exfoliation

Dead skin cells do not peel off naturally, so they clog the pores.

3. Use of cosmetics or skin care products that cause blockage

Especially products that are not "non-comedogenic" (do not clog pores).

4. Hormones

Androgenic hormones (such as testosterone) encourage more sebaceous glands to function, thus often during adolescence, menstruation, or pregnancy.

5. Some behavior

Such as unclean face washing, frequent use of face handles, no makeup washing before bed.

6. Environment

Dust, pollution, various impurities in the air can accumulate and clog pores.
