Acne Treatment in Delhi

Acne affects just about everyone at some point in their lives. Teenagers and young adults tend to have more acne due to hormonal changes in the body. It is also seen more in women and people with a family history of acne-prone skin. According to a report by NCBI, 9.34% of people worldwide have acne. The most common areas to notice acne are as follows:

• Forehead
• Face 
• Chest 
• Upper back 
• Shoulders 

In short, the areas with a higher number of oil glands have more acne. That’s because the secreted oil clogs the skin pores with dead cells, dirt, and germs from the surroundings. This leads to a bump or a zit, which may contain pus and cause pain.
 

What are Symptoms of Acne?

A few symptoms of acne are:

• Whiteheads 
• Pus filled bumps
• Blackheads 
• Pimples 
• Papules 
• Nodes
• Scarring
• Redness
• Cysts. 

Most people get a random pimple, whitehead, or blackhead, which goes away in a few days. However, when you repeatedly get pimples in the same area or have too many of them at once, it can be classified as acne. If you have excessive acne on your face, you can consult the expert dermatologists at Mehektagul Dermaclinic to get the best and most effective acne treatment in Delhi.

What is causing my Acne?

Oil, dirt, dead skin cells, and bacteria clogging the skin's pores are the main causes of acne. Every pore opens into a hair follicle, which also has an oil (sebaceous) gland. The oil released by the gland travels to the skin’s surface through the hair strand and keeps the skin lubricated to prevent drying. However, when this lubrication process is irregular, the follicles may produce excess oil and clog the pores. 

Since the oil prevents the bacteria in the pores from being washed off, it causes pimples or acne. The following are some reasons or triggers for acne:

• Hormonal changes
• PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
• Lack of sleep
• Smoking 
• Stress 
• Family history
• Medication containing steroids, lithium, birth control pills, etc.
• Beauty and skincare products with high oil content
• Milk products (in some cases)
• High glycemic diet (sugars).
