Thickened or Discolored Nails<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"2\">Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"3\">Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"17\">Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems.<\/p>\n<h2 data-reader-unique-id=\"26\">Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"28\">Acne signs vary depending on the severity of your condition:<\/p>\n<ul data-reader-unique-id=\"29\">\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"30\">Whiteheads (closed plugged pores)<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"31\">Blackheads (open plugged pores)<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"32\">Small red, tender bumps (papules)<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"33\">Pimples (pustules), which are papules with pus at their tips<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"34\">Large, solid, painful lumps under the skin (nodules)<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"35\">Painful, pus-filled lumps under the skin (cystic lesions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"36\">Acne usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders.<\/p>\n<h3 data-reader-unique-id=\"37\">When to see a doctor<\/h3>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"38\">If self-care remedies don\u2019t clear your acne, see your primary care doctor. He or she can prescribe stronger medications. If acne persists or is severe, you may want to seek medical treatment from a doctor who specializes in the skin (dermatologist or pediatric dermatologist).<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"39\">For many women, acne can persist for decades, with flares common a week before menstruation. This type of acne tends to clear up without treatment in women who use contraceptives.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"40\">In older adults, a sudden onset of severe acne may signal an underlying disease requiring medical attention.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"41\">The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that some popular nonprescription acne lotions, cleansers and other skin products can cause a serious reaction. This type of reaction is quite rare, so don\u2019t confuse it with any redness, irritation or itchiness that occurs in areas where you\u2019ve applied medications or products.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"42\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"43\">Seek emergency medical help<\/strong>\u00a0if after using a skin product you experience:<\/p>\n<ul data-reader-unique-id=\"44\">\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"45\">Faintness<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"46\">Difficulty breathing<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"47\">Swelling of the eyes, face, lips or tongue<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"48\">Tightness of the throat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div data-reader-unique-id=\"49\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\" data-reader-unique-id=\"51\">\n<article data-reader-unique-id=\"52\">\n<div class=\"clear\" data-reader-unique-id=\"53\">\n<div class=\"clear\" data-reader-unique-id=\"54\">\n<div data-sending-url=\"https:\/\/s74881809.t.eloqua.com\/e\/f2\" data-name-form=\"MKT.PES.HC.EmailSignup2\" data-last-step=\"true\" data-reader-unique-id=\"56\">\n<div data-reader-unique-id=\"57\">\n<div tabindex=\"-1\" aria-describedby=\"formTitle\" data-reader-unique-id=\"58\">\n<h2 data-reader-unique-id=\"59\">From Mayo Clinic to your inbox<\/h2>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"60\">Sign up for free and stay up to date on research advancements, health tips, current health topics, and expertise on managing health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<h2 data-reader-unique-id=\"66\">Causes<\/h2>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"68\">Four main factors cause acne:<\/p>\n<ul data-reader-unique-id=\"69\">\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"70\">Excess oil (sebum) production<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"71\">Hair follicles clogged by oil and dead skin cells<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"72\">Bacteria<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"73\">Inflammation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"74\">Acne typically appears on your face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders because these areas of skin have the most oil (sebaceous) glands. Hair follicles are connected to oil glands.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"75\">The follicle wall may bulge and produce a whitehead. Or the plug may be open to the surface and darken, causing a blackhead. A blackhead may look like dirt stuck in pores. But actually the pore is congested with bacteria and oil, which turns brown when it\u2019s exposed to the air.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"76\">Pimples are raised red spots with a white center that develop when blocked hair follicles become inflamed or infected with bacteria. Blockages and inflammation deep inside hair follicles produce cystlike lumps beneath the surface of your skin. Other pores in your skin, which are the openings of the sweat glands, aren\u2019t usually involved in acne.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"77\">Certain things may trigger or worsen acne:<\/p>\n<ul data-reader-unique-id=\"78\">\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"79\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"80\">Hormonal changes.<\/strong>\u00a0Androgens are hormones that increase in boys and girls during puberty and cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum. Hormone changes during midlife, particularly in women, can lead to breakouts too.<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"81\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"82\">Certain medications.<\/strong>\u00a0Examples include drugs containing corticosteroids, testosterone or lithium.<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"83\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"84\">Diet.<\/strong>\u00a0Studies indicate that consuming certain foods \u2014 including carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread, bagels and chips \u2014 may worsen acne. Further study is needed to examine whether people with acne would benefit from following specific dietary restrictions.<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"85\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"86\">Stress.<\/strong>\u00a0Stress doesn\u2019t cause acne, but if you have acne already, stress may make it worse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-reader-unique-id=\"87\">Acne myths<\/h3>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"88\">These factors have little effect on acne:<\/p>\n<ul data-reader-unique-id=\"89\">\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"90\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"91\">Chocolate and greasy foods.<\/strong>\u00a0Eating chocolate or greasy food has little to no effect on acne.<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"92\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"93\">Hygiene.<\/strong>\u00a0Acne isn\u2019t caused by dirty skin. In fact, scrubbing the skin too hard or cleansing with harsh soaps or chemicals irritates the skin and can make acne worse.<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"94\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"95\">Cosmetics.<\/strong>\u00a0Cosmetics don\u2019t necessarily worsen acne, especially if you use oil-free makeup that doesn\u2019t clog pores (noncomedogenics) and remove makeup regularly. Nonoily cosmetics don\u2019t interfere with the effectiveness of acne drugs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-reader-unique-id=\"96\">Complications<\/h2>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"97\">People with darker skin types are more likely than are people with lighter skin to experience these acne complications:<\/p>\n<ul data-reader-unique-id=\"98\">\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"99\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"100\">Scars.<\/strong>\u00a0Pitted skin (acne scars) and thick scars (keloids) can remain long-term after acne has healed.<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"101\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"102\">Skin changes.<\/strong>\u00a0After acne has cleared, the affected skin may be darker (hyperpigmented) or lighter (hypopigmented) than before the condition occurred.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-reader-unique-id=\"103\">Risk factors<\/h2>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"104\">Risk factors for acne include:<\/p>\n<ul data-reader-unique-id=\"105\">\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"106\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"107\">Age.<\/strong>\u00a0People of all ages can get acne, but it\u2019s most common in teenagers.<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"108\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"109\">Hormonal changes.<\/strong>\u00a0Such changes are common during puberty or pregnancy.<\/li>\n<li data-reader-unique-id=\"110\"><strong data-reader-unique-id=\"111\">Family history.<\/strong>\u00a0Genetics plays a role in acne.
