So What Is in Your face Pimple?
Pimples are also called acne. let’s discuss the explosive chemistry of a pimple. A pimple contains sebum, dead skin cells, and Propionibacterium acne (P-acnes), A bacteria that live on the skin…
What Is the Sebum?
Sebum is a mixture of lipids produced by sebaceous glands present in the skin. The role of sebum is to protect the skin from drying out and kill the bacteria and protect the skin, but when sebum is released in excess amount then it causes the pimple.
Why Is It Produced in Excess?
There are a number of reasons for it, excess production of:
androgen hormones,
hormonal imbalances,
and oily skin type etc…
What Happens When Sebum and Dead Skin Mix?
Our skin cells constantly become dead and shed off from the skin, but when excess sebum is produced it mixes with the dead cells and clogs your small hair pore on your face skin. To see this, the bacteria (P-acnes) which live on your skin jump on this opportunity, because bacteria get their food from sebum and multiply rapidly.
How Does the Immune System React?
Now the pores are clogged so your immune system shows the response and increases the blood flow in the pore, so swelling occurs and pimples become red and inflamed… Along with this, the bacteria produce fatty acid by oxidizing fat in the sebum, these fatty acids also produce itching and soreness in the pimple….
What Causes the White heads?
The immune system also sends white blood cells to cope with this situation. when these white blood cells die, pus is formed and now the pimple becomes white, called white heads.
What About Blackheads?
When these white clogged pores are exposed to air the lipids oxidize, this oxidation process activates the melanin formation in the skin, the pigment which darkens the skin, this melanin accumulates in the clogged pore and it becomes dark and black. This is also called blackhead.
