Why do subcutaneous acne occur

The problem of the formation of subcutaneous acne is faced by people of all ages. Mostly acne appears in young people (80%). The main cause is inflammation of the deep sebaceous ducts.
Acne on the neck in women, the causes of which are associated with a high level of androgens, cause inflammation.

The formation of reddish seals, called the subcutaneous acne. If you press strongly on such a seal, there is severe pain. The size of a fully ripened subcutaneous acne is in the range of 1/32 – 3/32 inch. Sometimes it increases greatly, can exceed 0’4 inch. Such an increase is often associated with purulent accumulations.

Their localization occurs in places of inflammation:

• Shoulders.
• Hands.
• Back.
• Chest
• Neck.
• Face.

Basically, subcutaneous acne is formed for several reasons:

• Hormonal imbalance that occurs during puberty.
• Lactation.
• Pregnancy.
• Menopause.
• The use of hormones.
• Venereal diseases.
• Endocrine diseases.
• Improper functioning of the sebaceous glands.
• Various skin diseases.
• Poor hygiene.
• Frequent peeling.
• Poor nutrition.
• Weakened immunity.
• Genetic heredity.

  

• Demodex (subcutaneous tick).

Purulent acne

Such rashes are very different from other acne. The main reason for their appearance is too much subcutaneous fat, which completely clogs the pores. As a result, the proliferation of harmful microorganisms begins. Pus appears in the pores.

Regardless of the type of face, all purulent rashes are distinguished by their etiology.

The cause of such rashes can be:

• Frequent stresses.
• Anxiety.
• Anxiety.
• Nervous diseases.
• Hyperkeratosis, when the upper layer of the skin is compacted.
• Decorative cosmetics.
• Taking contraceptives.
• Hormones.
• Antibiotics.
• Taking steroids.
• Ignoring personal hygiene.
• Pregnancy.

Why acne on the neck pops up during pregnancy or after childbirth

Throughout pregnancy, the female body is completely rebuilt. The consequence of this adjustment may be the appearance of acne.
The sebaceous glands, the functioning of which are affected by certain hormones, begin to increase significantly. This leads to obstruction of the ducts, hair follicles begin to become inflamed.

To prevent a malfunction in pregnancy, the woman’s body produces the most important hormone – progesterone. It is he who contributes to the formation of a large amount of sebum.

In addition, to a small extent, the formation of acne in a pregnant woman can be affected by:

• Lack of fluid. Pregnant women experience rapid dehydration. As a result, the amount of progesterone in the blood rises sharply.

  

• Stress state.
• Hereditary predisposition.

After the birth of a child, progesterone activity decreases. As a result, a rash appears on the skin. This phenomenon is considered quite normal. After a few weeks, these formations will disappear themselves.

The cause of the appearance of new acne, after the disappearance, may be several factors:

• Poor hygiene.
• Malnutrition.
• Weakened immunity.
• Cosmetics.
• Sweating.

Acne on the neck before menstruation

The monthly female cycle has several phases, on which the state of her body depends.

Phases are divided into several groups:

Progesterone increases its activity when the luteal phase begins. At the same time, the production of estrogen, which is responsible for the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands, slows down. Acne begins to appear on the neck.

Other causes of acne include:

• Puberty.
• Reception of hormones.
• Stress.
• Gastrointestinal diseases.
• Unsuitable climate.
• Cosmetics.
