What Is Acne?
Acne occurs when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This leads to inflammation and breakouts on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders. While acne is often associated with adolescence, many adults experience ongoing or hormonal acne well into adulthood.
Acne can vary in severity from mild congestion to painful cystic breakouts and may worsen without proper treatment.
Common Causes of Acne
Acne can develop due to one or a combination of the following factors:
Excess oil (sebum) production
Clogged pores and dead skin buildup
Acne-causing bacteria
Hormonal fluctuations
Genetics
Stress and lifestyle factors
Incorrect skincare products or over-exfoliation
Understanding the underlying cause is key to choosing the most effective treatment approach.
