BACKGROUND: WHAT’S GOING ON DOWN THERE?‘Plugging’ In To What Happens Next - WhiteheadsWhen the pore opening remains closed, bacteria begins to accumulate and multiply by feeding on the skin’s lipids (oil). The bacteria’s byproducts (free fatty acids) irritate the skin and the gland become infected and inflamed. The byproducts also attract other ‘chemical scavengers’ to the area that can do damage to the pore’s follicular wall. The body’s defense system sends white blood cells (leukocytes) to the rescue and a whitehead (also known as a closed comedo) forms (acne pustulosa). This is nature’s miniature battlefield.If left alone, the white blood cells attack the bacteria by secreting enzymes which break down the bacteria and ‘push’ the leftovers out to a yellowish point on the whitehead called a pustule which ultimately dries up as eventually the swelling and the whitehead dissipates. But if you’re like me (and you must be if you’re reading this book) you’ve rarely or never seen that happen, because you’ve never waited that long for your own body to do its work. The common combination of all of these skin breakouts: blackheads, whiteheads, etc. are referred to as acne vulgaris (an ‘ugly’ latin simply meaning common). It can also be called papulopustular acne. INSERT GRAPHIC - pore broken below surface - inflamed pimple
