Why You Get Skin Blemishes & What You Can Do
Blemished skin is caused by things like clogged pores, too much sebum, inflammation and bacteria. A number of reasons bring about inflammation and clogged pores thus producing skin spots.
First, let's look at skin blemish causes, then How to Remove Skin Blemishes.
**Acne Connection?
Some acne sufferers have excessive amount of the P acnes bacteria present in their skin's pores. There is no explanation for this problem. The skin's natural flora is usually balanced. The bacteria present help to keep away illness-causing pathogens. Heredity, diet, illness or other things could cause the imbalance.
**Pimples, Bumps
Inflammation of the hair-producing follicles or the pores leading to the sweat glands is almost always present in blemished skin. Even if infection occurs, inflammatory molecules and a rush of fluids will be sent to the area by the immune system. What you will see is a pimple or a bump.
Things that can cause inflammation include unhealthy diets high in simple sugars and other carbohydrates, natural hormonal changes occurring during puberty, exposure to toxins or irritants, allergic reactions, injuries and clogged pores.
**What Clogs Pores?
Things that can clog the pores include dead cells, hardened sebum, ingredients in cosmetics and to a lesser extent dirt. To complicate matters, inflammation can occur first, which would clog the pores simply by narrowing the channel.
**Inflammation & Clogged Pores
So clogged pores can cause inflammation and inflammation can clog a pore. Inflammation in one pore can narrow the channels of surrounding pores, making it more likely that they will become clogged. It is not an illusion that one pimple seems to be followed by another and another.
Sebum is a fatty compound produced by the skin's sebaceous glands. It serves as a lubricant and a protectant. It helps to protect the skin's fluid content and has minor antibacterial activity.
Excessive sebum production is sometimes present in acne sufferers, but is the exception rather than the rule. Excess sebum may be produced as a result of over-cleansing as the body tries to restore balance.
**Don't Over Cleanse Your Skin
Over-cleansing is not usually thought of as a cause of skin spots, but it can cause increased irritation and inflammation. Scrubbing or rubbing of any kind can lead to irritation of the pilosebaceous unit, the location of the hair-producing follicle and the sebaceous gland.
**Clothing Cause
In many cases, clothing causes the friction that leads to the formation of a cyst or pimple. Wearing tight-fitting clothes or ones that are very loose can cause blemished skin on some parts of the body.
Acne is most common among teenagers. It has long been linked to the hormonal changes occurring during puberty. Primarily, it is the male hormones that are blamed. Both men and women produce male and female hormones.
Some people never seem to outgrow skin spots. If you are still bothered by them after of years of fighting against them, you need help.
