Acne-AZABU SKIN CLINIC,Tokyo,Japan

Acne is the most common skin disease and is prevalent in adolescents.
However, acne can also affect people in their thirties, forties, and fifties.

Adolescent acne is caused by over production of sebum in the sebaceous glands as a result of hormonal changes that occur during puberty. Therefore, adolescent acne most commonly appears on the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) where sebum production is excessive.

In adults, acne can develop as a result of a change in hormone balance.
These hormonal changes can be induced by stress, unbalanced life style
(poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and insufficient sleep), and living
environment (UV exposure, high humidity, and air pollution). All of these factors reduce the skin’s natural rate of regeneration and dead skin cells mix with sebum to clog the skin pores.
Adult acne commonly appears on U-zone(cheeks, chin, and around the mouth) where skin tends to be dry.

How does acne develop?

As sebum production is accelerated, your skin’s turnover (shedding of the dead skin cells) becomes irregular, and hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. .

Acne begins to develop when the clogged follicles become inflamed due to bacterial infection (Propionibacterium acne).

Acne that exhibits redness, inflammation, or suppuration requires topical and oral medication, and can easily develop into scar tissue if not treated in due course.

Acne on the Back

As summer temperatures increase, sebum (oil) production in hair follicles is increased. And acne begins to appear where sebaceous glands are most active – on the middle of the back and upper-middle chest.
To prevent further development of acne and scarring, proper treatment is required. Salicylic Acid Peeling (BHA) is affective at treating body acne.
