Causes of atheroma

Most often, atheroma occurs for the following reasons:

1. Blockage of the excretory duct of the sebaceous gland. This is the main reason for the formation of atheroma. Excess fat cannot reach the surface of the skin, accumulates inside the gland and forms a cyst.
2. Metabolic disorders. Hormonal disruptions (especially increased testosterone levels) contribute to excessive activity of the sebaceous glands and can provoke blockage.
3. Excessive oiliness of the skin. People with oily skin are more likely to develop atheroma.
4. Improper hygiene. Untimely cleansing of the skin contributes to the accumulation of sebum, dust and dead cells, which can lead to blockage of the ducts.
5. Mechanical damage to the skin. Skin injuries, improper squeezing of acne or cuts can disrupt the work of the sebaceous gland and provoke atheroma.
6. Genetic predisposition. Some people have an innate tendency to develop atheroma – due to the structure or number of sebaceous glands.
7. Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Increased sweating can create conditions for blockage of pores and glands, especially if hygiene is not observed.
8. Using poor-quality cosmetics. Cosmetics that clog pores (especially oil-based ones) can contribute to the formation of atheroma.
