According to wikipedia, there are many types of acne, and they are as follows:
• Acne vulgaris - most commonly experienced around puberty, typically of the face and shoulders/chest
• Acne rosacea - a red rash predominantly on the face
• Acne keloidalis nuchae (Pseudofolliculitis nuchae) - a rash caused by shaving
• Acne conglobata (Hidradenitis suppurativa) - chronic abscesses or boils of sweat glands and hair follicles; in the underarms, groi
n and buttocks, and under the breasts in women
• Acne cosmetica - acne caused by cosmetics
• Acne fulminans - an extreme form of acne conglobata
• Acne medicamentosa - acne caused by starting or stopping a medicine • Baby acne - a rash seen on the cheeks, chin, and forehead of infants
• Chloracne - an acne rash caused by exposure to chlorinated hydrocarbons such as dioxins or PCBs
Acne is caused by the clogging of pores and the inflammation of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. It can occur on the face, neck, shoulders, back and chest. This happens because the glands produce oil and when the pores are clogged it becomes whiteheads or blackheads. And when bacteria infect the hair follicles, and when the whitehead raptures, a pimple is produced. And if pimples are squeezed, scars on the face can develop.
Acne can take the following forms:
- Comedones (whiteheads and blackheads). Comedones (kom-uh-DO-neze) are created when the openings of hair follicles become clogged and blocked with oil secretions, dead skin cells and sometimes bacteria. When comedones are open at the skin surface they're called blackheads because of the dark appearance of the plugs in the hair follicles. When comedones are closed, they're called whiteheads — slightly raised, skin-colored bumps.
- Papules. These are small raised bumps that signal inflammation or infection in the hair follicles. Papules may be red and tender.
- Pustules. Similar to papules, pustules are red, tender bumps with white pus at their tips.
- Nodules. These are large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface of the skin. They're formed by the buildup of secretions deep within hair follicles.
- Cysts. These are painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface of the skin. These boil-like infections can cause scars. Common Causes of Acne :
- Poor hygiene, and hormone imbalances. Hormonal changes in adolescence: Stimulation of the sebaceous glands seems to occur with the production of androgens (the masculinizing hormone found in both sexes) at puberty.
- Food and cosmetics allergies are cause of some of the worst cases. - In general, bad digestion, leads to the inability to absorb important nutrients and is a major cause of acne.
- Genetic factor.

Acne has become a problem not just for teenagers but also some adults. Aside of whatever factors cause this acne, acne treatment through traditional medicine, herbal medicine or even modern treatments have been widely introduced.
What may be a common misunderstanding is to think that stress can cause acne. There is a relationship between acne and stress, but stress does not cause acne. For sure, some experts say that stress or depression will only make acne problem become worst. One suggestion is to avoid stress with yoga or meditation.
This wil
l help clean toxins in blood. It is believed that the blood contaminated with too many toxins create acnes. Another tip is by consuming tea from lavender or chamomile. The aromatherapy from lavender and chamomile make one’s body more relax, and tea is one remedy for acne as well, not mentioning many products for acne is made from tea tree oils.
If stress worsen acne, can the relationship be acne create stress? The answer is for some people perhaps “yes.”
How does this possibility work?
One thing is acne problem may make people lack of self-confidence and get stress over finding ways to cure their acne. For some people, appearance is something important. Even one tiny pimple can be a nightmare for teenagers who have a prom night or first date. A lot of reasons people feel stressed over their acne and this is normal.
However, as previously mentioned, stress will only make acne problem worst. There are many things to be grateful for from other parts of each person. Do not overwhelmed by one problem then forget the rest, which may be the best gift ever.
