Acneic skin disorders occur as the result of excessive sebum or oil production that mix with keratonized dead skin cells inside the hair follicle. This creates a micro plug or comedone. There are a variety of lesions that appear as blackheads, pimples, pustutles, papules, cysts, and nodules. They can appear on the face, chest, and back. There is a classification for lesions that helps us discern the severity of acneic skin conditions presented by Dr. Kligman. He gives us the grades of acne 1- 4.
With topical clinical skincare treatment products we are addressing primarily acne grades 1,2, and 3. Acne grades 4 may need a combination of dermatologic intervention, which would be systemic drug intervention, as well as topical treatments.
Our goal with topical treatments is to control the amount of oil that gets produced by the sebaceous glands and also to suppress bacteria from colonizing in the hair follicle. This will prevent the bacteria from feeding on the oil and spreading to create a full inflammatory pimple or pustule or reaction in the hair follicle itself.
