What is Acne?

Acne (commonly known as pimples) is a skin condition where hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, or inflamed pimples. It usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders.

Common Causes of Acne

1. Excess Oil Production (Sebum): Overactive sebaceous glands clog pores.
2. Clogged Hair Follicles: Dead skin cells and sebum block follicles.
3. Bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes): Causes inflammation and infection.
4. Hormonal Changes: Puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or conditions like PCOS.
5. Diet: High sugar, dairy, and oily foods can trigger acne.
6. Stress: Increases cortisol, leading to more sebum production.
7. Cosmetics: Using comedogenic products can clog pores.

Types of Acne

   Non-Inflammatory Acne:

• Whiteheads (Closed Comedones): Pores clogged under the skin.
• Blackheads (Open Comedones): Clogged pores exposed to air and oxidized.
