Acne & Pimple Treatment

Understanding Acne & Pimples

Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition of the skin that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and sebum. This creates an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive, leading to inflammation, redness, and the formation of pimples. While acne is most common in teenagers due to hormonal changes, it can affect people of any age.

Causes of Acne

• Excessive sebum production due to hormonal changes
• Accumulation of dead skin cells in pores
• Bacterial growth (Propionibacterium acnes)
• Hormonal imbalance during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy
• Stress and anxiety triggering inflammatory responses
• Certain medications and cosmetic products
• Genetic predisposition to acne
