Only last week, British Daily Mail again referred to
acne problem - embarrassing experience for more and more persons.
Acne is most common skin disorder, especially for
teenagers, but growing number of adults also suffer from it. It can be managed
with right awareness. It is a bacterial infection caused by body’s internal
chemistry due to following reasons :
1)Hormonal
activity (primarily from androgens, male hormones); 2 Inflammation;
3)Overproduction of oil by the sebaceous (oil) gland; 4)Irregular or excessive
shedding of dead skin cells; 5) Buildup of bacteria in the pores, leading to
inflammation; and 6) Sensitive reactions to makeup, irritating skin-care
ingredients, allergies or medicines.
Acne
problem occurs when sebaceous (oil) glands attached to the hair follicles are
stimulated. Associated with increased oil production is a change in the manner
in which the skin cells mature, predisposing them to clog the follicular pore.
The clog can appear as a “whitehead” if it is covered by a thin layer of skin,
or “blackhead” if exposed to the air – the darker exposed portion of the plug
is called a “blackhead”. Pimples or
tender red bumps on the face are another form of mild acne. Blackheads are
oxidized oil, not dirt.

Warning consumers against some
heavily marketed so-called acne-relief products, FDA issued a warning that popular acne
products sold over-the-counter under brand names such as Proactiv and
Neutrogena can cause rare but serious and potentially life-threatening allergic
reactions. The FDA advised consumers to stop using their topical acne products
and seek emergency medical help if they experience hypersensitivity reactions
such as throat tightness, difficulty in breathing, feeling faint or swelling of
the eyes, face, lips or tongue.
According to the agency, non-prescription
acne products containing the active ingredients benzoyl peroxide or salicylic
acid are of concern. It added that non-prescription products containing the
active ingredients benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and marketed under brands
such as Proactiv, Neutrogena, MaxClarity, Oxy, Ambi, Aveeno and Clean &
Clear, as well as store brands, were of concern. The agency said it has
received 131 reports of such hypersensitivity reactions from consumers or
manufacturers, most of these were received since 2012.
The manufacturers are pushing for glamorous
marketing campaigns, without naming the key ingredients or precaution on the
labels. “There is currently no mention of the possibility of these very severe
allergic reactions on the product labels," Mona Khurana, a medical officer
at FDA said in a statement.
