Teenagers & Acne Scars

Acne is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by superficial skin eruptions that are caused by sudden and strong outflow of sebum which injures the cells lining the sebum canals or by plugging of the skin pores. Acne commonly appears on the face and shoulders, but may extend to the trunk, arms and legs.

BIOSKINCARE is a biological skin care product for teenage acne that has no side effects. It works because it not only controls bacteria by boosting the production of the skin's own antimicrobials, it also unclogs pores through the action of enzymes that digest the keratin and sebum that plugs hair follicles. In fact it releases the amino-acid components of damaged skin proteins for their use in regenerating healthy cells which prevents and heals acne scarring.

It also moisturized the skin and eliminates redness quickly. It can be used in conjunction with medicines like isotretinoin (Accutanee & other brands prescribed for very severe acne) to avoid their dreaded side effects on the skin and to start healing scarring and stregthenning the skin while taking the medicines, for it does not interact with them.

What is the cause of acne?

Acne is caused when sebaceous glands within the hair follicles (pores) of the skin become plugged, because secretion occurs faster than the oil and skin cells can exit the follicle. The plug causes the follicle to bulge (causing whiteheads), and the top of the plug may darken (causing blackheads). If the plug causes the wall of the follicle to rupture, the oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria found normally on the surface of the skin can enter the skin and form small infected areas called pustules (also known as pimples or "zits").

The actual pimple is usually the result of bacteria entering an open skin pore causing the body to react with millions of white cells to destroy the invaders. As these white cells fight and die they cause an inflamed area that turns red (pimple) which over time becomes an even greater mass of dead cells that can create a pus pocket (white head).

Of course open pores can also be impacted with dried oils, foreign matter or just facial dirt that create what is commonly called a black head. Salt from sweat is another contributor to many facial break outs when it dries and clogs pores.

If these infected areas are deep in the skin, they may enlarge to form cysts. A sebaceous cyst forms when the sebaceous gland continues to produce oil. Instead of rupturing the follicle wall, the follicle continues to enlarge and form a soft, pliable lump (known as a cyst) under the skin. The cyst is usually not painful or discolored unless it becomes infected.

Acne in adolescence

Acne is most common in adolescent boys, but it can occur in both sexes and at all ages. The tendency to develop acne is inherited. The condition usually begins at puberty and may continue for many years. Three out of four teenagers have acne to some extent, probably caused by hormonal changes that stimulate the sebaceous (oil producing) skin glands. Other hormonal changes that occur with menstrual periods, pregnancy, use of birth control pills, or stress, also aggravate acne.

Acne is not caused by dirt or other activities, but dirt and oil on the face can aggravate the condition. Other factors that increase the chances of acne are hormonal changes, exposure to weather extremes, stress, oily skin, endocrine disorders, certain tumors, and the use of certain drugs (such as cortisone, testosterone, estrogen, and others). Acne is not contagious. A tendency to have acne may persist through ages 30's to early 40's.

Prognosis
Acne is usually chronic from puberty to adulthood, but eventually lessens. Acne generally responds well to treatment after a few weeks, but may flare up from time to time. Acne is not medically dangerous except for untreated, severe infection. Scarring may occur if severe acne is not treated.
