The term “acne” is actually very broad. There are many forms of skin condition –from mild to extreme — that fall under this broad category. The vast majority are completely harmless, and easily treated, but each different type of acne may have slight different treatments. Keep reading for more information.

Acne VulgarisThough we often use the word “vulgar” to mean “offensive,” I wouldn’t worry about it’s use in the name here. The original meaning of the word is “common.” So you may have guessed that this is the commonest form of acne. It can be broken down into these more specific signs.

Blackheads are tiny, dark spots caused by a small plug in the opening of a follicle (pore) on the skin. Blackheads are also called open comedomes. A blackhead is a type of acne vulgaris. It is caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland ‘s duct. Blackheads are typically caused by excessive oil and makeup, which can facilitate the multiplication of the bacterium propionibacterium acnes, the predominant anaerobe of the normal skin flora. The substance found in these bumps mostly consists of keratin and modified sebum (an oily secretion of the sebaceous gland ), which darkens
(resembling dirt) as it oxidizes.

Blackheads are the slightly different sibling of zits, and like zits, squeezing them can be addictive. Composed of the same oil, or sebum, that contributes to the production of pimples, blackheads result from a building up of this oil in pores the difference in appearance is the esult of the blackhead’s exposure to the air, the reaction of which with the oil causes the trademark black color of these blemishes. And while blackheads are more easily obscured by makeup, they can seem less offensive to the sufferer, and as a result, less damaging to squeeze. But squeezing is not good for blackhead. It leaves a permanent scar on skin and also infection will occur.

Acne generally is a real problem for many people. It often develops on the face, chest, neck, back or shoulders. The degree of the acne can range from mild to severe. You may find that acne lasts for just a few months, or that it will come and go throughout your life.

What we often refer to as “acne” is, in fact, a characteristic of the condition rather than the condition itself. Acne vulgaris is the condition itself and is caused by a range of factors, while the problems that appear on our skin are more properly referred to as “lesions”, “blemishes”, “spots” or “blackheads”.

Approximately 14 million Americans suffer from a little known facial disorder called rosacea (pronounced row-ZAY-sha).  Medical professionals are limited to only treating the symptoms of rosacea, as there is no known cure.  If you suffer from rosacea, it is important for you to understand the symptoms, as well as the potential treaments, in order to fight your disorder.  Rosacea is very much a disorder in which you must take control of your treatment. The more you know, the more you can be in control.

Medical professionals differentiate rosacea into four subtypes, primarily defined by the severity of the disorder. Keep in mind that rosacea can get worse (flare-up) depending on the presence of triggers. In the absence of these triggers, rosacea usually goes into remission (gets better). The severity of these flare-ups is how rosacea is categorized.
