If the condition is not properly treated, the sebaceous ducts and hair follicles will become enlarged, and the skin becomes more coarse, with open pores being evident. This is an ongoing natural process on every person's skin and cannot be stopped unless a person dies. Moreover, in today's polluted industrial environment and hectic lifestyle, our skin is flexed and stretched, and as such, an ideal condition is almost impossible. Seborrhoea Seborrhoea is a condition of overactivity of the sebaceous glands, leading to excessive secretions and abnormal oiliness of the skin's surface. The high density of sebaceous glands in the face, scalp, centre of the chest, and back causes the seborrhoeic condition, and as such, comedones, are most evident in these areas.
Teenagers have the highest cases of seborrhoea.
When they reach puberty, hormonal changes increase the gland activity, and secretion becomes excessive. Seborrhoea, and also comedones, are the basis of several skin diseases, particularly Acne Vulgaris. When the skin is ruptured by these harsh treatment methods, it will become septic and develop acnes. Only the very superficial dead cells and dirt may be sucked away, leaving the condition with no evident improvement. There are many cleansers and scrubs available in the marketplace, but apart from removing only surface dirt, some makeup, and dead surface cells, none can actually remove blackheads, as evidenced by the fact that despite whatever form of cleansers and scrubs one uses, it is still necessary for the aesthetician to physically remove comedones by one of the conventional methods described above.
