Acne is a disease that attacks the hair follicles at the root of your body hair. At its core is the sebaceous gland responsible for the production of sebum, preventing dry skin fat. But during puberty, this well-oiled mechanism jammed!
Acne in three steps

The emergence of a button at the follicle is due to the conjunction of three events:

* Excessive secretion of sebum in the follicle;
* Obstruction of the follicle (for reasons as yet unknown);
* Development bacteria inside the follicle.

During puberty, the production of male sex hormones (androgens) leads to an excess of sebum in sebaceous glands. The excess sebum flows to the surface of the skin becomes oilier. But the channel is encumbered and the pore is blocked, is the appearance of black spot or comedo or microcysts white.

Subsequently, the development of inflammation within the follicles and infection of them by a bacterium, Propionibacterium acne, causes buttons (papules, pustules and nodules).

Stress and heredity

Stress is accused of all evils, and it is sometimes accused of being responsible for the appearance of acne. We also know that stress can affect hormone levels. It could therefore influence the development of this skin disease. But according to the latest review to date, its role remains to this day the subject of controversy and it is singularly lacking in validated scientific studies on the subject.

Moreover, many studies note a significant number of patients of both sexes in the same family. Although genetic susceptibility has been suspected, no scientific evidence has been made to date.
