How Does Acne Appear?

Acne is a common skin condition that often begins during adolescence due to hormonal changes, but it is not exclusive to teenagers. In fact, adult acne is quite common.

Acne is an inflammation of the hair follicles, appearing as red pimples (sometimes with pus when they mature) and/or microcysts. Excess sebum and blackheads often accompany these skin impurities.

Causes of Acne:
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Hormonal changes are a major cause.
- Medications: Certain medications can trigger or worsen acne.
- Excessive Sweating: Humidity and sweat can clog pores.
- Inappropriate Cosmetics: Using products not suited to your skin type.
- Poor Lifestyle: An unbalanced diet, stress, and lack of sleep can contribute to acne.
