What Causes Acne?

Acne is a condition of the sebaceous hair follicle. The hair follicles, or pores, in your skin contain sebaceous glands (also called oil glands). These glands make sebum, which is an oil that lubricates hair and skin. Under normal conditions, sebum travels up the hair follicle and out to the skin's surface. However, with acne, sebum is trapped within the follicle, clogging the follicle. The bacterium that seems to cause acne is called Propioibacterium acnes (P. acne) and is present in everybody's skin, usually lodged in the hair follicle. The clogged follicle becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. When sebaceous glands get clogged, sebum builds inside the follicle; P. acne multiplies rapidly and can result in acne.

Acne Lights
The British Journal of Dermatology, Phototherapy with blue and red light was studied in the treatment of mild to moderate acne .

After 12 weeks of 15-minute daily active treatments with a portable light source, a mean improve-ment of 76% in inflammatory lesions was observed.

Investigators and patients favored blue-red light therapy, with more patients achieving marked improve-ment or clearance than in any of the other treatment group.
