Acne Treatment In Kolkata: Advanced Procedures, Cost & Results

Pimple, or as medically called acne vulgaris, is a common skin disorder that primarily affects teenagers during puberty as the associated hormonal changes increase the sebum production by the oil glands leading to clogging of pores and inflammation. Acne may be mild, moderate and severe and may appear in the form of blackheads, whiteheads, papules or red bumps, pustules or pus-filled pimples, cysts and nodules. Facial acne largely appears in the T-zone but may also occur on the cheeks and chin. You may have acne in other body areas like the neck, back, chest and shoulders.
Although mild teen acne may subside naturally but adult acne can affect people in the 20-40 years age group due to hormonal changes related to menstruation, pregnancy or menopause, hormonal disorders like PCOS or insulin resistance, stress and more. Let us find out why.

Pimples occur due to excess oil production by the skin, which clogs the pores along with the build-up of dead cells, dirt and bacteria. A positive family history of acne and hormonal fluctuations are the most important internal factors that increase the sebum production and risk of breakouts. Other external reasons that may trigger acne may include:

• Unmanaged stress
• Androgen, corticosteroids, DHEA, and lithium medicines
• A high-glycaemic diet
• Improper skincare

Acne can worsen due to common triggers like the following:

• Use of comedogenic makeup with harsh chemicals
• Using wrong skincare products not suited for your skin type
• Regular consumption of sugary and oily foods
• A habit of popping the pimples
• Allergic reaction to home remedies or OTC products
• Irregular use of moisturiser can weaken the protective barrier of your skin against inflammation
• Dehydration can increase your risk of breakouts if you have acne-prone skin
• Skipping sunscreen can cause sun damage and worsen post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Frequent use of abrasive methods of scrubbing and cleansing can irritate your sensitive and inflamed skin
• Not maintaining facial hygiene especially after excess sweating can cause pimples
• PCOS or hormonal changes can trigger acne
• Stressful lifestyle may lead to breakouts
