What is Acne?
Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. This can lead to various types of blemishes, including:
- Blackheads: Small, dark bumps that appear when pores are clogged but remain open at the surface.
- Whiteheads: Small, flesh-colored or whitish bumps that occur when pores are clogged and closed.
- Pimples (Papules and Pustules): Red, tender bumps (papules) or bumps with a white or yellow center (pustules) that result from inflammation.
- Nodules: Large, painful solid lumps beneath the surface of the skin.
- Cysts: Large, painful, pus-filled lesions beneath the surface of the skin, which can lead to scarring.
It’s most prevalent during puberty due to hormonal changes, but can affect people of all ages. While not usually serious, acne can cause discomfort, scarring, and emotional distress.

Acne Treatment
What Causes Acne?
Acne is a complex condition, and several factors can contribute to its development. Understanding these causes helps us tailor the most effective treatment plan for you:
- Excess Oil Production: Our skin naturally produces oil to keep it moisturized. However, too much oil can clog pores.
- Dead Skin Cells: As skin cells shed, they can mix with oil and block hair follicles.
- Bacteria (P. acnes): A common bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes thrives in clogged follicles, leading to inflammation and breakouts.
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially androgens, can increase oil production. This is why acne is common during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and sometimes in conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
- Diet: While the link is still being researched, some studies suggest that certain foods, like high-glycemic index foods and dairy, might trigger or worsen acne in some individuals.
- Stress: Stress doesn’t directly cause acne, but it can worsen existing breakouts by affecting hormone levels.
- Medications: Some drugs, such as corticosteroids, testosterone, and lithium, can cause acne as a side effect.
- Genetics: If your parents had acne, you’re more likely to experience it too.
Understanding your specific triggers is the first crucial step toward lasting relief, and that’s where we come in.
