Acne Vulgaris
Written by admin on January 1, 2011 – 4:18 pm -Acne vulgaris. It’s an unkind-sounding term for a common skin problem: acne breakouts that affect teens and adults and leave behind horrid scars.
Acne vulgaris is the result of excessive production of bacteria that normally play an important role in protecting our skin from other micro-organisms and creating sebum for the lubrication of the surface of our skin.
Those bacteria become a problem when excessive sebum production, triggered by hormonal upswings during puberty or toxins from food we eat cause them to multiply rapidly. As their flow outside is blocked and sebum accumulates within the sebum canals swelling and inflammation is a result.
