Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that can affect people at any stage of life. It occurs when oil (sebum) produced by the sebaceous glands beneath the skin combines with dead skin cells, leading to clogged pores. This build-up can create blockages on the skin’s surface, making it prone to breakouts.
Breakouts may appear as blackheads or whiteheads in mild cases, or as red, inflamed bumps when the blockage becomes infected. In more severe forms, acne can cause deeper cysts and visible irritation, often leading to discomfort and long-term scarring if left untreated.
While hormonal changes are one of the most common triggers for acne, other factors such as stress, diet, certain medications, and improper skincare routines can also contribute to flare-ups. Environmental factors like pollution and humidity can further clog pores and worsen breakouts. Early treatment is important not only to control active acne but also to prevent long-term skin damage and scarring. Today, a range of professional treatments are available to target the root causes of acne, reduce inflammation, clear congested pores, and support the skin’s natural healing process—leading to a clearer, healthier complexion over time.
