Acne (mild to severe)
What is it?
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It often results in the formation of pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, and it can appear on various parts of the body, most commonly on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders. Acne can range from mild to severe and can cause emotional distress and self-consciousness due to its effects on appearance. Several factors contribute to acne, including hormonal changes, genetics, certain medications, and lifestyle factors like diet and stress.
Understanding Acne
This is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting both teenagers and adults. It develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or deeper cystic lesions. While often associated with adolescence, acne can persist into adulthood or appear later in life due to hormonal changes, stress, or environmental triggers. Beyond its physical symptoms, acne can affect confidence and emotional well-being, making effective treatment an important step toward healthier skin and improved self-esteem.
