Acne Aggregate

Introduction Polymeric acne, acne vulgaris, characterized by acne, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts and scars. More common in adolescent men and women. Induced by androgen stimulation, the secretion of androgen in adolescence increased, causing hypersecretion of sebum, and at the same time keratinized the funnel of the hair follicle and the duct of the fat gland, resulting in sebum discharge disorder, retention of sebum, formation of acne, and a large number of P. acnes in the acne of the hair follicle. Reproduction, producing normal lipase, proteolytic enzymes and hyaluronidase. The free fatty acid proteolytic enzyme and hyaluronidase stimulate the hair follicle funnel. Causes spongy denaturation and even forms tiny cracks.

Cause

The cause of the disease is related to the following four factors:

1. The rapid secretion of adolescent males promotes the activity of sebaceous glands and increases secretion;

2. Free fatty acids stimulate the keratinization of the hair follicle sebaceous gland ducts, and the formation of hair follicle horn plugs affects the normal excretion of sebum;

3. Accumulation of sebaceous bacteria (acne propioni) in the sebaceous glands;

4. The accumulated free fatty acids stimulate the hair follicles and penetrate the hair follicles into the dermis to cause inflammation. In addition, genetic, oily work, oily cosmetics, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine disorders are also associated with the disease.

At the beginning, the papules at the mouth of the hair follicle can be seen, and the pale yellow fat plug can be squeezed out, so-called acne. If the hair follicle mouth is open, the fat plug is black due to oxidation and dust, which is called blackhead acne. If the hair follicle is closed, the tip of the papule is white, so it is called whitehead acne. It is not easy to extrude the fat plug. Acne rash can become inflammatory papules, pustules, nodules, cysts and pitted scars. Thoracic back acne is very easy to form keloids.
