Acne occurs when the pores on your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria. Each pore on your skin is the opening to a follicle. The follicle is made up of a hair and a sebaceous (oil) gland. The oil gland releases sebum (oil), which travels up the hair, out of the pore, and onto your skin. The sebum keeps your skin lubricated and soft. Acne can be caused by one or more problems in this lubrication process.
In between exposures, a person's IgE level may drop. Sometimes an individual has a condition that affects the immune system and will not produce normal amounts of immunoglobulins. In this case, a person could have an allergy that is not reflected by the total IgE test result.
Protein levels in blood are an important indicator of health. High levels can indicate dehydration. Low levels can indicate loss of protein from the blood, usually into the intestinal or urinary tract. The bulk of Total Protein is made up of several important proteins, globulin and albumin, both of which have critical roles in the body. Albumin is a critical protein that acts as the âspongeâ that keeps the liquid part of blood within the vessels. Excessive loss of albumin causes fluid to leak into the tissues, causing swelling (edema).
