What causes acne?
Common causes of acne include contact with an oily substance such as mineral oil, vegetable oil, or oil and use of certain drugs like steroids or the contraceptive pill. However, acne is often caused by the secretion of androgens or sex hormones that are initially secreted at the onset of puberty. Androgens are male hormones but they are secreted by females as well. Stimulate the production of oil glands of the skin 's oil. When these sebaceous glands become overactive and the exit of the gland is blocked, the oil accumulates in the gland and they begin to swell. This is how acne forms. A bacterium Propionibacterium acnes normally colonizes this swollen gland causing the development of inflammation and pus. In particularly serious cases, the glands may burst into the skin and produce cysts.

dietary advice for acne
A recent study in Australia at the RMIT University in Melbourne, has shown that low glycemic index (GI), the protein-rich diet improves the symptoms of acne, including the number of facial injuries. The diet consisted of 25% energy from protein and 45% of energy from low GI carbs, like fruits and vegetables, cereals and legumes.
It is interesting to note that acne is considered a condition associated with Western diets are generally higher in saturated fats and trans fats, high in simple carbohydrates and sugars and low in healthy sources of protein. Acne vulgaris is seen in up to 79-95% of the adolescent population in westernized countries. non-Western diets are traditionally rich in low GI foods do not have the same association.
Although there are other factors that influence the occurrence of acne in adolescents and, increasingly, adult diet is certainly a factor.
