Spring skin changes! At this time the increase in temperatures and hours of sunlight influences your body and your hormones are also altered. It is precisely because of hormonal changes that acne is most frequent . Pay attention to your skin and take care of it! From Plaza Mayor we bring you everything you need to know to avoid this problem.
What is acne?
Acne is a disease characterized by the appearance of skin lesions as a consequence of folliculitis, inflammation and subsequent infection of the follicular pore, where the hair comes out. They usually manifest as pimples, blackheads, and red, inflamed patches , such as cysts.
In most cases, acne appears during adolescence , affecting around 80% of young people between the ages of 14 and 16 . The main reason is related to clogged skin pores . In these cases, if the blockage is incomplete, black dots are formed , while if it occurs completely, white dots appear .
This plugging occurs for several reasons. One of them is the increased activity of the sebaceous glands and dry sebum, causing bacteria to accumulate in the pores of the skin, preventing sebum from flowing from the hair follicles through the pores. Hormonal changes are also another reason for pore collapse. These variations are associated with puberty, pregnancy, menstruation, stress, or the use of oral contraceptive methods , such as the pill. It is also important to use appropriate cosmetics for our skin because they can influence the state of our skin , just like oily hair products.
Types of acne
Based on the above, it is also necessary to know that there are different types of acne . If you have pimples in the T zone of the face, we refer to the forehead, nose or cheeks; and, much less frequently, on the back. You have a mild acne class , which usually consists of various blemishes, such as blackheads, pimples, and, rarely, some papules.
While with moderate acne , also called papulopustular, it is more common for a mixture of papules and pustules to occur. Also, the skin may appear red and inflamed. But this is not the maximum. There are also the levels of severe and very severe acne , so it is important to see a doctor to avoid problems.

Juvenile acne
This type of acne, as its name says, appears in preadolescence and adolescence . Eight out of 10 young people suffer from this problem, the main cause of which is usually the hormonal change that occurs during puberty. This acne is located in areas such as the face, neck, shoulders, upper back, and chest, where white spots, blackheads, pimples, and cysts can be found.
During puberty and adolescence , androgen levels increase dramatically, especially in boys. These hormones are the ones that cause acne , since they produce more sebum than necessary. Both girls and boys at this age suffer acne, in many cases it is severe or very severe .
Acne treatment
Acne treatment is based on two modalities: topical and systemic . The choice of one modality or another will depend on the severity of the acne.
Treatment for severe acne
One of the treatments to consider is the one we need to end severe acne. First of all, if you are one of those who suffers from this acne model you have to put yourself in the hands of a dermatological professional for treatment.
According to experts, for severe acne it is recommended to start a systemic treatment, which includes systemic antibiotics for 3 to 6 months . The retinoids that are prescribed are tetracyclines, erythromycin, minocycline and clindamycin, which allow a complete cure in almost all patients. In some cases it is necessary to administer more than one treatment cycle.
Other people with a more severe type of acne experts give them two types of therapies that they can follow.
One of them is surgical treatment , with which cysts are drained. On the other hand, there is systemic treatment , using isotretinoin, associated with systemic or intralesional corticosteroids.
