Active acne

Active acne are constantly developing lesions on the skin, most often forming sharpened clusters. We distinguish between acne vulgaris, suppurative, clustered, scarring, rosacea and triggered. It is one of the most frequently diagnosed skin diseases of various causes, in the course of which blackheads, papules and pustules appear. Over time, the disease leaves an unpleasant reminder in many patients in the form of discolouration and acne scars. 

Active acne - causes

The cause of acne (transformation into the active phase) are most often hormonal changes, allergies, poor diet and nutritional deficiencies. Excessive consumption of sugar and salt, among other things, exacerbates skin imperfections. Genetic factors and chronic stress are also important. In some people active acne is caused by inadequate skin care. Dermatosis is promoted, for example, by the use of aggressive cleansing products that strongly dry out the skin.

Recent studies suggest that the composition of intestinal microbiota can play a role in the formation and aggravation of acne. When the balance of bacteria in the gut is disrupted, there can be an increase in inflammation, changes in immune function and hormonal disturbances that affect the condition of the skin.

Active acne most often involves the T-zone, although imperfections can also extend to the décolletage, back or shoulders. Symptoms of acne in the active phase are different types of lesions, such as pimples, papules, blackheads, cysts or nodules, which may be filled with pus and cause pain when touched. Sometimes acne lesions cause itching, burning and redness. After the acne lesions have subsided, numerous scars (atrophic or hypertrophic) and hyperpigmentation may remain on the skin.
