What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes deeper lumps like cysts or nodules. It typically appears on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders. This condition develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. While acne is most prevalent during puberty, it can affect individuals at any age.
Causes of Acne
The primary trigger for acne is hormonal changes that increase oil production, enhancing the likelihood of clogged pores. Other factors include diet, stress, genetics, and certain cosmetics and medications. A genetic predisposition may also increase the likelihood of developing acne.
