Hormonal acne: What you need to know
Hormonal acne is usually known simply as acne. Another term for the skin condition is acne vulgaris.
It is sometimes called hormonal acne because of the way the skin problem develops in response to hormonal changes, and especially a rise in androgens, such as testosterone.
The rise in androgen levels can trigger a process of higher sebum production, changes in skin cell activity, inflammation, and colonization of the hair follicles by a bacteria known as
Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). This can lead to acne.
Acne lesions or zits of varying severity typically affect the face and upper body. Acne is a common and treatable condition.
There are four main factors behind the formation of acne lesions. Hormones are one major factor, which may be why some people call it hormonal acne.
The four components of acne involve the units at the base of hairs in the skin:
1. Production of the hormone testosterone rises during puberty. This causes greasy skin because it increases production of sebum, the oily substance secreted at the base of hairs to protect and lubricate the skin
2. The hair follicles become blocked, forming comedones or "clogged pores." The overproduction of skin cells that would usually be pushed up and lost from the surface also adds to this process.
3. The comedones can be made worse by bacterial infection.
4. The immune system reacts to the bacteria, resulting in inflammation.
Not all acne is inflammatory. Simple comedones — blackheads and whiteheads — may not be inflamed. Pimples called papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts — in order of rising severity — are inflamed.
