Understanding Acne
Acne is often caused by a combination of factors, including excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. Hormonal changes, diet, and stress can exacerbate the condition. While acne is commonly associated with teenagers, it can affect individuals well into adulthood, causing physical discomfort and emotional distress.
Common Types of Acne
- Whiteheads: Small, white bumps that form when pores are clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
- Blackheads: Dark, open bumps on the skin caused by clogged hair follicles.
- Papules: Small, red, tender bumps without a visible center.
- Pustules: Pimples with pus at the tips.
- Cysts: Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface of the skin.
