What Is Acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation. The result? Pimples,blackheads, whiteheads, and in some cases, painful cysts. While often associated with teenagers, acne frequently affects adults due to hormonal fluctuations, stress, and environmental factors. It can appear on the face, chest, back, or shoulders, with severity ranging from mild to severe. Left untreated, acne can cause permanent scarring and discoloration, making early and effective intervention essential.
