Blocked pore in acne, artwork
Blocked pore in acne, computer artwork. Sweat pore (centre) that has become blocked (centre) due to acne. Acne is a skin disorder in which the sebaceous glands of the skin become inflamed (red areas). There is also a build-up of sebum (yellow), an oily material secreted by the skins sebaceous glands as lubrication. This section of skin has hair (brown) embedded in follicles, which are also lubricated by sebum. Acne usually occurs in adolescence but can continue through adulthood in severe cases

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Blocked Pore in Acne" offers a visually striking representation of the skin disorder known as acne. Created through computer-generated imagery, this print showcases a sweat pore at the center that has become blocked due to acne. The inflamed sebaceous glands surrounding it are depicted by vibrant red areas, highlighting the inflammation caused by this condition. The artwork also emphasizes the accumulation of sebum, an oily substance secreted by the skin's sebaceous glands for lubrication purposes. This build-up is represented by a vivid yellow hue, adding depth and realism to the illustration. Embedded within this section of skin are brown hairs nestled in follicles, which are also affected by excessive sebum production. Acne primarily affects adolescents but can persist into adulthood in severe cases. This thought-provoking image sheds light on its impact on individuals' lives and serves as a reminder of its dermatological significance. The artist skillfully captures both the unhealthy nature of blocked pores and their association with acne. Through this powerful visual narrative, Science Photo Library presents an artistic interpretation that combines elements from medicine and human anatomy to create an engaging portrayal of this common yet often misunderstood condition.
