MODERATE ACNE

Acne is a condition of the sebaceous glands of the skin. These sebaceous glands surround each hair follicle and produce sebum, an oily substance, to lubricate the hair. The oil glands found in your hair follicles are stimulated to produce extra oil called sebum.

This sebum, the hair and the dead cells on your skin cause bacteria to develop in your follicles, which in turn causes, the skin to become inflamed. Acne occurs in three degrees of severity- mild, moderate and severe.

In the moderate stage of acne, inflamed red lesions, large comedones and pustules with 0.4-0.8 inches width exist. These comedones and pustules can be viewed easily at the distance of more than 1 inch. Numerous whiteheads, blackheads, papules and pustules appear that cover an area from one quarter to three quarters of the face and/or other affected areas will also be present. Inflammatory or non-inflammatory acne lesions will be visible from a distance of 2.5m. Moderate acne can occur anywhere on the skin, that is, the face, arms, back, thighs, chest or shoulders.

Moderate acne consists of numerous lesions, such as blackheads, whiteheads or pustules, which appear at or near the surface of the skin.

Blackheads result when a pore is only partially blocked, allowing some of the trapped sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells to slowly drain to the surface. The black color is not caused by dirt but is a reactionary process of the skin's own pigment, melanin, reacting with the oxygen in the air. Whiteheads result when a pore is completely blocked, trapping sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells, causing a white appearance on the surface. Acne Papules are small, red, tender bumps with no head. Do not squeeze a papule. It will do no good, and may exacerbate scarring.

While acne pustules are similar to whiteheads, but are inflamed, and appear as a red circle with a white or yellow center.

Moderate acne progresses from mild acne when sufficient care is not taken, and needs to be handled before it escalates to severe acne. Dermatologists recommend early treatment for moderate acne because when moderate acne is not treated, it can progress to severe acne and permanent scaring can occur.

Acne Blackheads and Whiteheads

Acne blackheads are small, dark spots (about the size of a pinhead) caused by discoloration of the surface of a small plug in the opening of a follicle (pore).
