Acne and its types

Acne is a common disease of hair follicle and inflamed sebaceous which can occur among people of any age. Commonly it occurs on face or back and teens are the ones that are more easily caught by acne.

 A comedo is a basic lesion or clogged hair follicle (pore) of acne that arises due to various factors:
1. Hormonal imbalance (primarily androgen)

2.  Overproduction of oil by the sebaceous (oil) gland 

3. Irregular or excessive shedding of dead skin cells, both on the surface of skin and inside the pore

4. Buildup of bacteria in the pore

5. Irritation

6. Sensitizing reactions to cosmetics, specific foods, or medicines

Types of acne:

1.  Blackheads (open comedo ): A type of comedonal acne that occurs on nose and areas close to it. In this type of acne the blocked pore remains open to the air which causes oxidation and it starts looking black from the top. So, its known as the black head.

2. Whiteheads (closed comedo): Here the pore that has been blocked by oil, bacteria etc closes up and it starts looking white from the top. So, known as white heads or closed comedo. Here the oil gets trapped inside the skin layers and fails to reach the upper layers.

3. Nodules: Nodules are large and firm swellings which exist deep below the skin and does not contain pus. Nodules occur due to accumulation of keratinous remnants and sebum produced from the oil glands within the hair follicile. These leave dark or red marks on skin as they go away.

4. Postules: Postules are tiny pimples or follicile's space filled with pus and having an inflamed base. The color of the lesions can range from yellow to orange/green.

5. Papules: Inflammatory solid bumps that are usually smaller than 0.5 cm in diameter and varies from pink to red color and does not contain pus.

6. Cysts: The worst form of acne observed till date. These are the sac-like formations filled with liquid or semi-solid pus and usually more than 5 mm in diameter. Cysts often results in pain. It can be due to inner factors or due to squeezing of small pus-filled acne, causing the pus to run deeper into the skin and aggravating the infection. 

7. Acne vulgaris: It is the most common form of acne and most frequently encountered in adolescents. The commonly affected parts with this type of acne include face, chest, back and shoulders. It is associated with the clogging of the ducts of the oil glands. It generally occurs due to the outbreak of various forms of acne.

8. Rosacea: It is characterized by the flushed appearance of face due to enlargement of the blood vessels caused by the inflammatory bumps. Redness, flushing and blushing are the common symptoms in this type of acne. People having rosacea experience more irritation, stinging and burning than general population. In normal cases, it affects the nose and the upper cheek area and in worst cases, it affects the whole face. Rosacea is also known as adult acne as its more common among adults. If papules appear in rosacea, it should not be squeezed as these will get irritated and larger in size. A more worse form of acne is ocular rosacea which generally occur in dry areas. Drink more water in both types of rosacea.

9. Conglobata:  Its an intensive form of acne vulgaris where multiple cysts and nodules are formed, especially on large areas like chest, face, upperarms, back etc. It often results in excessive damage of skin cell and the scars produced by this acnes are more long lasting and permanent in nature. its more common in males than females.

10. Acne Mechanica:  A form of acne that is caused due to heat, covered skin or repetitive friction against the skin. It can occur due to  tight clothes, excess or repeated pressure or friction. Helmets, tight clothes, headbands or straps of weapons which constantly rub or pressurize body parts can be source of acne mechanical.

11. Acne Fulminas: Its a severe acne which result due to increased androgen in males. It is essential for patients of such acne to consult a dermatologist urgently. 

12. Perioral Dermatitis: Its a common form of acne among young women. It starts with  rash and later red or pink papules develop on the face, especially on cheeks and chin. Generally, the skin around the lips is less or not affected than other areas..

Winter care routine

Winters tend to make skin dry and dull which result in loss of skin moisture and premature aging of skin. Its easy to take care of your skin with few easy to follow steps:

1. Protect face: Face is the first part that is easily exposed to dry air. The first thing to check is the products you are using for face care. Check whether you have picked the right face wash depending on skin texture. Your face wash may be making your skin dry. Exfoliation is necessary for keeping skin soft and smooth which cannot occur without moisturizing formulas. Winters are the right time to use heavy night creams which cannot be used easily during summers. Night creams lock the skin moisture and prevent skin aging. Its an easy way to keep face glowing and youthful. Never use a body lotion on face. Use the right products that prevent fine lines and wrinkles from developing on skin.

1. The most important thing to check before starting with a mascara is the type of eyelashes you have and the type of lashes you want to style. Majority of us desire to have curled lashes.

Home remedies for hair care

You do not always need an expensive product to take care of your hair. There are many natural products that can be applied in place of hair cosmetics. These products are easily available and can be applied without much effort. If are not a big fan of cosmetics like me and rely more on home remedies, then try these: 

1. Gooseberry (Amla): Gooseberry is an ancient known herb used especially for hair care. A number of cosmetics are sold in markets in the name of gooseberry. Its a rich source of vitamin C and various antioxidants. One can reap its benefits directly instead of using in various cosmetics.  Remove the seeds of gooseberries and dip the rest fruit in water contained in a container. If possible, use a container made of iron. Iron adds a value to the solution prepared with gooseberry. The color of the mixture will turn black and this black mixture provides a natural strength to hair.
