Acne Care
What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface become clogged with dirt, dead skin cells, and excess sebum. Sebum, an oil released by keratinocytes (skin cells), plays a crucial role in keeping the skin hydrated, maintaining a supple and healthy appearance. However, when the body produces excess oil due to hormonal imbalances, environmental factors, or dietary habits, hair follicles can become blocked, resulting in zits or pimple breakouts.
While acne predominantly appears on the face, it can also manifest on the chest, back, shoulders, and buttocks. It is a prevalent issue among teenagers and young adults, often leading them to seek help at dermatological or aesthetic clinics.
How does acne develop?
The skin naturally sheds dead cells from its outermost layer. When these dead cells mix with sebum and dirt, they can block the pores, leading to the development of acne. The inability of the body to properly excrete sebum due to clogged pores is a key factor in the formation of acne.
Types of Acne
What are the treatments for acne?
