Akné

 

Akné je nejběžnější během puberty, obtěžuje více než 85 % mladistvých a často přetrvává až do dospělosti. Příčinou akné během dospívání je zejména nárůst produkce mužských hormonů, který probíhá u obou pohlaví. U většiny lidí akné vymizí během 20. až 23. roku života. Nicméně není možné určit, jak dlouho který jedinec bude touto chorobou trpět. U některých akné přetrvává až do 30. a 40. let věku, občas dokonce déle. Zranění způsobené akné se typicky projevuje formou komedonů, zánětlivých pupínků, uzlin nebo puchýřků.

 

 

Léčba akné

 

Lokální léčba

Existuje spousta přípravků pro omezení tvorby mazu. Omezují tím i tvorbu bakterií. Většinou se aplikují nanesením roztoku na vatičku a po té pomazáním po pleti a to dvakrát denně (ráno a večer).

Lokální léčba demodexu

Nejjednodušší a nejpoužívanější prostředky k dosažení cíle jsou externě aplikované látky bohaté na síru, zinek, bór, z dalších např. ivermektin, pyrethroidy, či niacin (také nikotinamid), který mimo to, že je vitamínem, má i insekticidní účinky. Zasažení demodexu je ztíženo tím, že se schovává hlouběji v kůži, proto se účinné látky vpravují do vnitřních vrstev pokožky pomocí penetrantu. S odumíráním demodexu je spojeno přemnožení asociovaných bakterií, to může vést dočasně ke zhoršení, což bývá pacienty chybně interpretováno tak, že lék nepomáhá a stav zhoršuje.

Léčba celková

Užívání léků, které začnou působit až po několika týdnech, většinou se tato léčba používá ve zhoršených případech.

Změna stravování

Uzpůsobit si jídelníček který vytváří lepší prostředí pro střevní bakterie pro zdravý metabolismus například velmi dobré je acidofilní a kefírové mléko.

Résumé sur l'acné

Résumé sur l'acné L'acné est une maladie inflammatoire de la peau qui touche autant les hommes que les femmes, toutefois pour des raisons hormonales l'acné grave concerne surtout les hommes. Cette maladie dermatologique a pour origine une inflammation des follicules pilo-sébacés souvent en lien avec la bactérie acnies propiones. L'acné touche 80 à 90% des adolescents et touche aussi les adultes. Lire épidémiologie acné La physiopathologie de l'acné et les causes de l'acné sont complexes avec divers facteurs influençant cette dermatose comme une prédisposition génétique, des facteurs hormonaux (hormones sexuelles par exemple), l'environnement (pollution, etc), le stress, l'alimentation, etc. Lire: causes acné D'un point de vue biologique l'acné se manifeste après une sécrétion élevée de sébum par les follicules pilo-sébacés, ce qui mène à un milieu favorable pour le développement de micro-organismes (bactéries, levures). Les symptômes de l'acné varient en fonction de l'intensité des lésions. L'acné peut se manifester sous formes de boutons et plus précisément sous forme de comédons, papules, pustules, nodules ou kystes. Les régions du corps les plus touchées par l'acné sont celles contenant le plus de glandes sébacées comme le visage, la poitrine ou le dos.

L'acné ne présente pas de complications graves pour la santé mais peut s'avérer redoutable au niveau psychologique en influençant négativement sur la confiance en soi particulièrement à l'adolescence. L'acné peut dans des cas graves laisser des cicatrices sur la peau. Lire aussi: complications acné

Les traitements contre l'acné sont nombreux, et normalement le médecin ou dermatologue, recommande plusieurs stratégies pour soigner cette dermatose.
En général il est recommandé d'adopter une excellente hygiène de la peau en la nettoyant régulièrement. On peut trouver à cet effet en pharmacie de nombreux produits comme des savons, gels, lotions, etc.
Le peroxyde de benzoyle et/ou l'acide salicylique sont souvent recommandés en première intention par le médecin ou pharmacien sous forme de gel ou crème pour soigner une acné.
Le médecin peut aussi prescrire des antibiotiques par voie topique ou orale comme la tétracycline ou l'érythromycine.
Les rétinoïdes (acide rétinoique, isotrétinoïne) sont aussi très utilisés contre l'acné, en particulier contre les formes graves de l'acné. L'isotrétinoïne sous forme orale peut avoir une très grande efficacité mais présente aussi de nombreux effets secondaires comme de la sécheresse au niveau des muqueuses. Ce médicament est aussi strictement contre-indiqué chez les femmes enceintes. Lire aussi: traitement acné
D'autres traitements pour soigner l'acné sont des médicaments à base d'hormone (ex. pilule), des peeling, etc.

Acne Therapy Solutions

Acne Therapy Solutions

There are few diseases where you are in the minority if you have not experienced it. Acne is such a disease, affecting 80% of adolescents and young adults aged 11 to 30. While acne is not a life threatening condition, it can be associated with significant emotional distress and leave both physical and psychological scars.

Acne is a common problem throughout the world and there are a plethora of acne treatments available. To get a handle on this common disease and give some guidelines for treatment based on scientific study, an international group of physicians and researchers in the field of acne came together in 2003 to form the Global Alliance to Improve Outcomes in Acne. Their recommendations are the basis of the most current and medically accepted acne treatments.

What is the cause of acne?

Acne occurs in the pilosebaceous unit of the skin, more commonly known as the hair follicle. Each hair follicle has an oil, or sebum, producing gland attached to it that serves to lubricate the skin and hair. Sebum normally moves up the hair shaft to the skin. Dead skin cells shed from the follicle also move up the shaft to the surface of the skin.

In puberty, due to the production of androgens, the sebaceous glands start to enlarge and produce more sebum. In addition, the dead skin cells of the follicle come off in clumps instead of one by one. The opening of the hair follicle can then become plugged by accumulated sebum and dead skin cells. This is the primary acne lesion, called a micro-comedone. This goes on to become whiteheads and blackheads.

A white head is seen as a tiny white spot and occurs when the plug is below the skin surface. In a blackhead, the plug is partially exposed through the surface of the skin and the contact with air causes the pigment in the plug to oxidize and turn black. Whiteheads and blackheads can eventually clear on their own, but if there is colonization of the hair follicle by a bacterium known as P acnes, an inflammatory papule will result.

Picture – how acne develops:

The red firm papule will usually over a number of days become a pustule which then gradually resolves. In some cases, however, the pustule can enlarge below the skin surface, causing large nodules and cysts. These are the acne lesions most likely to heal with scarring.

What are the acne risk factors?

While the exact cause of acne is not known, hormones and genetics definitely play a role. Certain medications, greasy cosmetics and creams can also promote acne. Friction from helmets, backpacks, telephones, etc. can worsen acne as can picking at the acne lesions or scrubbing the face excessively. Whether food can worsen acne has been a matter of debate but the latest findings are that food is not a causative factor.
What is the most current treatment for acne?

1. Topical Retinoids

According to the Global Consensus Guidelines, everybody suffering from mild to moderate acne should be on a topical retinoid, a form of vitamin A. There are several on the market and are available by prescription only. The biggest side effect of the topical retinoids is skin dryness and irritation. Since the first retinoid, Retin A was introduced in 1970, there have been newer retinoids produced with better side effect profiles.

Topical retinoids prevent the formation of and reduce the number of micro-comedones, reduce white heads and blackheads as well as inflamed acne lesions, and promote normal shedding of dead skin cells through the hair follicle. They are effective in preventing the recurrence of acne once it has come under control.

For mild acne with only comedones and no inflammatory papules, I generally recommend gentle cleansing with a mild soap such as Cetaphil morning and night, using a topical retinoid at night and a non-comedogenic moisturizer in the morning. Skin will often be dry and irritated at first and the acne may even worsen, however, with persistence, the skin usually clears and the irritation dissipates as it becomes accustomed to the retinoid. For people with extremely sensitive skin, your doctor will adjust the quantity and frequency of use of the retinoid as well as the concentration.

2. Antimicrobials

For mild to moderate inflammatory acne, that is, acne that is red, tender, and associated with pus, topical or oral antibiotics are added to the topical retinoid.

Benzoyl peroxide is a safe and effective agent for treating acne. It can dry up the oil and kill bacteria, however, it is more effective and better tolerated when combined with a topical antibiotic. The main side effect with benzoyl peroxide is skin dryness and irritation, but this usually settles within a couple weeks.

For moderate inflammatory acne with more papules, pustules or nodules, an oral antibiotic instead of topical is usually necessary in addition to the topical retinoid. Benzoyl peroxide can also be added to the regimen. Oral antibiotics typically need to be taken for at least 6 – 8 weeks, but the idea is to get the inflammatory acne cleared, and then discontinue the antibiotic. The topical retinoid should be continued to prevent new acne lesions. With prolonged used of any antibiotic, topical or oral, there is a definite danger of organisms becoming resistant to those antibiotics, a problem widely seen in medicine today. This is one danger that does not apply to benzoyl peroxide, however, making it a safe agent to use long term.

3. Oral retinoids (Accutane)

In the past, Accutane was reserved mainly for severe acne with many nodules and cysts to get the acne under control and prevent scarring, which can be quite extensive with this type of disease. However, it is now recognized that any scarring can be emotionally damaging for some people, and Accutane is used more frequently in moderate acne not responsive to other medications or moderate to severe acne that is frequently relapsing.

Accutane is the only agent that by itself is able to address all the factors that cause acne to occur. It decreases the size and amount of output from the oil producing sebaceous glands, promotes normal shedding of dead skin cells from the hair follicle, prevents the formation of new comedones, inhibits P. acnes growth, and exerts an anti-inflammatory effect. Unfortunately, while Accutane is very effective, people taking it need to be closely monitored because of the possibility of serious side effects.

The most common side effects of Accutane include dry skin, chapped lips and dry eyes. Blood tests are needed to look for elevation in triglycerides and liver enzymes that occur in some people taking this medication. Accutane is also associated with serious birth defects, so any woman taking the medication should be on an effective form of contraception before, during, and 6 weeks after finishing the medication. Mood changes and depression should also be watched for by family and friends.

Accutane is usually used for 4 to 5 months, although some serious cases may require a longer treatment period. Unfortunately, while Accutane is very effective while a person is taking it, many people will have a recurrence of acne within the first year after finishing it. Sometimes, the recurrence can be managed with topical therapy as mentioned previously, but some people will require a second course of Accutane. Relapse is more common in people that were 16 years or younger when they had their first course of the medication and in women versus men.

4. Hormonal therapies

Birth control pills containing estrogen decrease acne by decreasing sebum production and are an excellent option for controlling acne in younger women, especially if they want an effective form of contraception. Caution is necessary for women over the age of 35, especially if they smoke, as there is increased risk of deep vein clots in this group.

There are other hormonal therapies that can be used instead of or in addition to birth control pills. These medications work by opposing androgens and can also be very effective.

Because hormonal therapies manly targets reduction of excess oil production, it should be used in combination with other acne treatments such as topical retinoids and antimicrobials if necessary for optimal results.

5. Laser and light treatments

a) Blue light

It has been shown that the bacterium P acnes can be affected by blue light, thus making it an somewhat effective treatment for inflammatory acne. It can clear up some acne lesions. Generally bi weekly treatments are necessary for at least 4 weeks but maintenance treatments may be needed thereafter. It is important to initiate topical therapy with retinoids at the same time as treating with the blue light in order to prevent new acne lesions as much as possible.

b) Levulan followed by Intense Pulsed Light

Levulan is a medication applied to the skin that treats acne by reducing the amount of sebum released from the oil producing glands, killing P acnes, and exfoliating the skin. It requires activation from a light source such as blue light or the intense pulsed light laser, and is a form of photodynamic therapy, or PDT. It is associated with at least several days of redness and peeling but gives longer lasting effect as compared with the blue light on its own. This treatment is also given as an antiaging treatment to rejuvenate the skin.

c) Other lasers

The diode lasers, pulse dye lasers, and intense pulsed light lasers are also used with success to treat acne. Generally, one looks to these treatments when the previously discussed treatments have not been effective or are not tolerated.

Declare War on Acne!

Declare War on Acne!

There are few things seemingly more unjust than a pretty face marked with numerous unsightly blemishes and pus-filled ugly spots! Okay – aside from major global issues such as war and poverty! But coming down from such world issues, back to the smaller – but not insignificant challenges facing us in our daily lives…

Acne signifies a daily war for many, affecting almost everyone at some point in their life. Though while many of us leave it behind (the memory of it representing no more than another symbol of our awkward teenage years), a significant number of people are also burdened with acne in adulthood. And even when sexual maturity does represent an end to this awful condition, the physical scarring often remains. Not only wreaking havoc on the face – acne can be prevalent on other areas of the body, with the back providing another main territory.

Reasons For War!

Acne causes significant embarrassment and emotional distress for many, it can be the reason a child refuses to go to school, or to blame for the cancellation of a date! These nasty spots do nothing for our self-confidence, often raising the issue of personal hygiene.

Though many people would be surprised to learn that acne is actually not caused by dirt! A number of factors beyond our control – including hormone balance and individual skin renewal ability – conspire against us, creating these highly unattractive little pits that we often can’t resist squeezing! These ‘pits’ are in fact areas where the oil produced by our hair follicles has been unable to drain and therefore built up in the follicle, generating a perfect breeding ground for bacteria – and voila ‘acne’ is born!

In Preparation…

With a case of acne, there are several things that we are advised not to do; don’t pick or squeeze spots no matter how tempting (it pushes bacteria further into the skin and damages skin around); don’t over-wash or over-scrub skin (since dirt is not the initial cause of the acne). So what can we do to improve matters? Moderate exercise can be good for you, keeping your body and mind healthy (stress is known to trigger outbreaks).

It’s best to exercise make-up free to prevent clogging of the pores, and you should shower away dirt straight after. “But I thought dirt wasn’t the cause of acne” I hear you say! – Whilst this remains true, the heat and moisture generated through exercise provides a romantic setting for Mr and Mrs Bacteria once again!

Suitable Ammo!

Despite all advances in modern medicine, there is no singular recognised out and out cure for the all too common condition of acne! There are a variety of products available, designed to clear these irksome, unsightly craters. Topical chemicals, mostly applied in extreme cases, are known for their harsh effects on the skin, so don’t really make for a first port of call.

There are, however, products that seem to offer a milder, but no less effective solution. Revitol Acnezine is one such product. Its impressive claims are as follows:

1. Designed for those suffering from mild to moderate acne – facial or body.
2. Suitable for adults and teenagers alike.
3. Eliminates pimples, spots, pus, redness, blackheads and whiteheads!
4. Represents a speedy and effective acne cure – clearing your skin in weeks!
5. Provides an entire skin care management system!

Secret To Victory…

The Acnezine Solution comprises not only a moisturising cream but a dietary supplement in the form of capsules, designed to work as an antioxidant. The cream unites Benzoyl Peroxide (its active ingredient) and a whole host of natural ingredients, oils and extracts celebrated for their therapeutic properties, including Organic Aloe Vera, Green Tea Extract, Lemon Oil, Witch Hazel, Honey and Tea Tree Oil.

The capsules hold a range of selected ingredients and essential vitamins including Vitamin E and an assortment of B Vitamins (B1, B2, B6 and B12) well renowned for their cell and skin healing, antioxidant and regenerative properties, thereby adding credence to the product’s claims to not only heal existing blemishes, but get down to the route of the problem, preventing future outbreaks.

What The Soldiers Say…

It is not hard to find reviews supporting Acnezine’s properties, with numerous positive reviews serving to add further credibility to its claims;

Seven eat foods to prevent acne

Posted on Sunday, August 28, 2011 by Syah Alkirmany

Looking for the best dining options in order to prevent acne? The rash can be easily solved as long as you know what you eat and not eat. These are the top seven tips for eating to help treat acne.

1st Eat fresh vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts

Try to increase your diet of diverse fresh vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts. You can try to do cocktails and juices. May salads with main meals and snacks of dried fruit and nuts daily. Brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds contain zinc and selenium, respectively, and are considered to be very effective in treating acne. It is also a known fact that the deficiency of these minerals can cause acne, as well.

2nd Water

You should drink plenty of water each day, at least, do not drink two liters, to keep the intestines clear and eliminate toxins. Remember that dry skin does not leave skin cells effectively. It can block pores and make acne worse. So if you want clear skin the natural increase of water consumption.

3rd Super food and supplements

Despite eating the right food, chances are, may be shortages of some important nutrients, you must have to prevent acne. It is possible also that will not absorb all the nutrients needed to eat; it can be antibiotics for a long time. In these cases you need help super food supplements and nutritional deficiencies compensate.

4th Reduce refined carbohydrates and sugar

Eat bread paste, rice, flour or sugar and insulin results in jet makes u200b u200bskóra leak a lot of sebum. This helps in the development of bacteria that is responsible for the development of acne. You need to limit consumption of carbohydrate, if you want to be free of acne.

5th Prebiotics and probiotics Food

Bacteria in the GI tract are destroyed by antibiotics. This can cause constipation, poor digestion and reduced absorption of vitamins and minerals. This will lead to more acne. If you take antibiotics in the past, it is necessary to replace the friendly bacteria in the system consume good quality probiotic and prebiotic food.

6th Reduce red meat and dairy products

It is difficult for the body to digest meat and dairy products because they have a high level of hormones that lead to acne. There may be instances of intolerance can also be, like acne. Therefore, decrease the consumption of red meat and dairy products, if you have acne prone skin.

7th Reduce caffeine

If they like coffee and tea, it is time to reduce, as it may cause acne. Caffeine increases stress hormones and can aggravate acne. There will be adequate to avoid coffee, tea, chocolate drinks, and also to keep acne under control.

Coconut Oil and Acne

Coconut Oil and Acne

The subject of acne is a rather complicated one. You see, most of us probably believe that acne is caused by an infected sebum gland under the skin. While this is not wrong, it is also not the entire story.

Acne really begins in the gut. An imbalanced or diseased gut manifests itself in all kinds of fun ways, acne being one of them. So don’t assume that your pimples are just a result of “oily” skin, overuse of “pore clogging” products, or a less than stellar skin care routine.

You can do your own research on how acne starts in the gut if you so choose. I would like to focus this post on how coconut oil can help those suffering from the occasional pimple to full blown cystic acne.

At the end of the day, a pimple (whatever the root cause) is an inflamed oil gland. Sometimes it is just a small, red bump. Other times it is resembles something out of a horror movie. If you can see a pimple, you can bet that it is officially a bacterial infection at that point.

Guess what?

Coconut oil contains large amounts of lauric acid which is well known for being very anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral. These antiseptic essential fatty acids found in coconut oil help prevent and eliminate bacterial infections when taken orally or applied directly to the skin.

What’s interesting is that for the past year or so, nanobombs have been all the rage when treating those who suffer from acne. A nanobomb is basically lauric acid in a gold wrapped nanoparticle delivery system. The science behind this suggests that the gold wrapped nanoparticle allows the lauric acid to be delivered to the acne causing bacteria as opposed to just wandering aimlessly.

These nanobombs aren’t cheap though. From what I can discern, applying coconut oil directly to acne prone skin is just as effective as a nanobomb. Additionally, taking coconut oil orally will help address an underlying gut issue that is playing a role in the acne. My vote is for coconut oil, straight up!

Coconut oil is also a well-known cooling oil, which is great for hot, inflamed skin (which is what a lot of acne prone skin is). Your skin may not feel hot, but in Eastern medicine, acne prone skin has the property of too much “heat” or “warmth.” So using an oil that cools skin down is a good thing.

Another plus for using coconut oil is that is mimics your skins natural oils and should not clog your pores. It is also very high in vitamin E which promotes healthy skin.

So how would someone go about using coconut oil externally to treat and prevent acne? So glad you asked!

The first thing you want to do is open your pores so that they will be more receptive to the oil. You can do this by taking a hot bath or a steamy hot shower. You may also do this by covering your face with a very hot washcloth.

After your pores are wide awake, rub the coconut oil directly onto the acne affected skin. You may use either 100% coconut oil or you can mix it with some sea salt or raw sugar, which will act as a mild abrasive and help to remove dead skin cells from the skin. Once you have applied the coconut oil to your skin, cover it with a damp washcloth and allow the skin to soak up the oil for 5 to 15 minutes. Then take a second warm washcloth and gently wipe the face in downward strokes until most of the oil is removed. Gentle is the key here.

Need something more than just coconut oil? Here is a face wash recipe that can be used in place of plain coconut oil or in addition to it.

Face Wash

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
• 3 tablespoons aloe vera juice
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon carrot seed oil (optional)
• 3 tablespoons liquid castile soap (like Dr. Bronner’s plain)
• 3 drops each of 3 three of the following essential oils (all good for oily skin/acne) -
• bergamot, cypress, eucalyptus, geranium, grapefruit, jasmine, juniper, lemon, lemongrass, orange, patchouli, petitgrain, sandalwood, tea tree, or ylang ylang.

Directions

1. Blend the ingredients together using a small spatula – NOT WOOD. It absorbs the EOs.
2. Pour the mixture into a jar or bottle with a secure lid.
3. Keeps for a long time so you can actually make a huge batch if you like it.

I love a good face mask. Do you? There are some amazing face masks in my eBook so check that out if you haven’t already. Here is a recipe for one that is particularly good for acne prone skin. This one is a non-coconut oil recipe. I have to mix it up a little!

Acne Face Mask

Ingredients

• 1 tomato, ripe, chopped
• 1teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon old fashioned rolled oats

Directions

1. Blend everything until just combined.
2. Apply to the skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay on the blemished areas. If necessary add a little more oatmeal to thicken the mask.
3. Scrub it off with a washcloth dipped in warm water.

Акне

Акне или угревая болезнь - хроническое воспаление сальных желез, главным образом, лица, спины и груди. Вызывается нарушением работы сальных желез - они начинают вырабатывать слишком много сала, это приводит к закупорке сально-волосяных протоков отмершими клетками кожи, жиром, бактериями.

Этапы развития. Нажмите для увеличения

Вследствие перечисленных выше факторов происходит интенсивный рост бактерий, что приводит к образованию следующих элементов.

Комедоны - черные точки на коже, возникающие из-за избыточного скопления кожного сала в волосяном фолликуле. Сначала оно имеет белый цвет, но затем окисляется кислородом и чернеет. Комедоны бывают двух видов:

• закрытые (белые угри): образуются под поверхностью кожи;
• открытые (черные угри): локализуются в расширенных закупоренных порах.

Узелки (папулы) - маленькие красные прыщики, напоминающие сыпь: часто загнаиваются, отличаются болезненностью.

Гнойнички (пустулы) - образования, содержащие гной и выступающие над кожей, их вскрытие может привести к образованию рубцов, формируются также при развитии розацеа, стрептодермии.

Рубцы - деформации кожи, образующиеся вследствие замещения соединительной тканью поврежденных участков. Являются наиболее тяжелым и сложноустранимым последствием акне.

Чаще всего акне локализуются на лице, шее, спине и груди, так как эти участки кожи имеют самые крупные железы. Появляется это заболевание обычно в подростковом возрасте вследствие естественного изменения гормонального баланса. Основные причины возникновения угревой сыпи:

• Избыточная продукция кожного сала;
• Изменение состава кожного сала, утрата его антимикробных свойств;
• Закупорка протока сальных желез;
• Действие патогенных микроорганизмов.

Некоторые люди считают, что для избавления от акне нужно часто мыть кожу и делают это больше двух раз в день. Однако, такое мнение ошибочно. Частое мытье снимает защитный слой кожи и пересушивает ее. Многие начинают заниматься самолечением и тем самым наносят своей коже еще больший вред. Например, самостоятельное вскрытие гнойничков приводит к образованию рубцов, а использование различных народных средств может усугубить нарушение работы сальных желез.

Лечение акне - это длительный процесс, чем раньше оно начато, тем более выражен эффект. Самолечение всегда недостаточно или неэффективно, а часто и опасно, поскольку может привести к ухудшению болезни, тяжелым осложнениям, образованию шрамов, постакне. При профессиональном лечении используются очищающие средства, химические пилинги, мезотерапия, медикаментозная терапия, плазмолифтинг и другие самые современные методы.

В нашей клинике накоплен большой опыт успешного излечения этого заболевания. Ждём Вас на приёме у наших специалистов!

Акне

Акне (угревая сыпь) – одно из самых распространенных кожных заболеваний, при котором происходит воспаление сальных желез лица, груди и спины.

Наиболее часто акне страдают молодые люди в период полового созревания, во время которого наблюдается повышенное салоотделение, а также ороговение эпителия, что приводит к закупорке фолликула (наружной части волосяного мешочка). Качественное и количественное изменение кожного сала способствует появлению себореи, для которой характерен жирный блеск и желушение кожи, а затем на ее фоне образуются прыщи. Однако они могут появиться и людей старше 25 лет, что указывает не только на дерматологическое заболевание, но и на наличие различных болезней внутренних органов, требующих тщательного обследования всего организма.

Причин возникновения акне множество, но основными из них считаются:

• повышенный уровень в крови мужских половых гормонов андрогенов
• действие пропионовых бактерий (Propionibacterium acnes)
• фолликулярный гиперкератоз
• избыточная продукция кожного сала, изменение его состава
• закупорка протока сальных желез

Проявление заболевания во многом зависит от причин его возникновения, от тяжести течения болезни, а также индивидуальных особенностей организма пациента. Так на участках кожи с большим количеством сальных желез могут образовываться элементы как воспалительного, так и невоспалительного характера. К воспалительным элементам относят папулы и пустулы, а к невоспалительным – закрытые и открытые комедоны.

При акне сальные железы кожи лица, груди и спины вырабатывают избыточное количество сала, в результате чего происходит его скопление в протоках сальных желёз, а также в в устьях волосяных фолликулов, что приводит к образованию комедон, представляющих собой пробки, цвет которых варьируется от желтого до черного. При попадании стафилококков или стрептококков в такое образование приводит к воспалительному процессу и, как результат, появляются воспаленные угри и гнойнички. Без соответствующего лечения угревая сыпь может разрастаться, высыпания становятся темно-красного цвета, часто болезненные на ощупь. Интенсивность проявлений болезни ослабевает к 25 годам, в некоторых случаях к 30-35 года. Однако не всегда она проходит бесследно, особенно если не было проведено лечение. После стихания обострения на коже могут остаться расширенные поры, рубцы, заметные капилляры, кожный покров становится неровным, появляются пигментные пятна. Чтобы избежать столь неприятных последствий, следует обратиться к специалисту при первых симптомах заболевания.

Своевременное обращение к дерматологу поможет не только устранить косметический дефект, но и найти причину болезни, а значит, подобрать терапию, позволяющую полностью избавиться от прыщей. Самолечение оказывает лишь временный эффект, но не приводит к полному выздоровлению. Следует помнить, что акне – это не только болезнь кожи, угревые высыпания могут указывать на серьезные заболевания внутренних органов (эндокринной системы, желудочно-кишечного тракта), требующих дополнительного лечения. Поэтому нередко после консультации дерматолога необходим осмотр и других специалистов.

The Different Types of Acne

Posted by Kevin Borel on Mar 12, 2012 in Skin |
