Acne on face and body-
Most of us think of face when we think of acne.
That is because of two reasons. Acne does affect
face more than other body areas. Secondly we can hide acne on our back
or chest, but not on face. Acne on face makes us self-conscious. Let us
find out what is the difference between acne on face and acne on other
body areas.
Acne- where does it form?
Acne forms on the sebaceous glands. Every
sebaceous gland is suspect to form acne. The sebum that gets blocked
inside the gland forms acne by getting infected. By this theory we can
get acne on allover body except few places such as lips etc. that do
not have sebaceous glands.
Sebaceous glands distribution on body
Though our whole body skin has these glands, the
density is different. These glands are more on face and upper trunk.
Areas such as feet etc. all have glands but the density is much small.
Therefore we have more probability of getting acne on face and upper
trunk compared to other body parts.
Is acne different on different body parts?
Acne as I said earlier is a disease of sebaceous
glands. As the glands all over the body are same the acne is also same.
There is no difference at all between acne on face and acne on the
upper arms or trunk. Please treat acne on all body areas with the same
medication. There is no difference. Click here to learn more about Types
