Pimples
(Acne, Skin Problem)
Acne
(acne vulgaris) is the inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous
(oil) glands in the face and also in the scalp, neck, chest, and back.
Pimples may run in families and they start at puberty. They are characterized
by small red bumps on the skin and, sometimes, large cysts or nodules.
They normally clear up after adolescence. Acne is more common in men than
women. Tiny
openings on the skin (pores) typically hold a single, tiny hair (follicle).
A group of cells called sebaceous glands is located at the bottom of
each follicle. These glands make an oily substance called sebum.
The body uses the sebum to lubricate the hair and skin. Movement of
sebum from the sebaceous glands to the skin surface helps to clean out
the follicle, carrying away dead skin cells, hair cells, and bacteria.
When the follicle becomes clogged and the sebum is trapped inside, the
familiar acne blemishes can develop. These blemishes can appear as dark-colored
follicle plugs, small white pimples, or red, swollen, and painful bumps
under the skin.
Acne typically affects adolescents from about 11 years of age through
the mid-teens. However, acne can affect both younger children and people
in the 20- to 40-year age group. It usually goes away without any permanent
damage, although scarring is possible in some cases.
