Acne Treatments

Acne is a disorder resulting from the action of hormones on the skin's oil glands (sebaceous glands) which leads to plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions commonly called pimples or zits. Acne lesions usually occur on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders.

Although acne is not a serious health threat, severe acne can lead to disfiguring, permanent scarring which can be upsetting to people who are affected by the disorder.

During your consultation nutrition and lifestyle will be discussed.



The exact cause of acne is unknown, but doctors believe it results from several related factors. One important factor is an increase in hormones called androgens (male sex hormones). These increase in both boys and girls during puberty and cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum. Hormonal changes related to pregnancy or starting or stopping birth control pills can also cause acne.

Another factor is heredity or genetics. Researchers believe that the tendency to develop acne can be inherited from parents. For example, studies have shown that many school-age boys with acne have a family history of the disorder. Certain drugs including androgens and lithium are known to cause acne. Greasy cosmetics may alter the cells of the follicles and make them stick together, producing a plug.
