Acne

Acne is a common skin condition characterized by the formation of pimples, blackheads, and cysts, primarily on the face, back, and shoulders. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormonal changes, particularly during puberty, menstruation, or due to certain medications, can trigger acne. While it’s primarily seen in teenagers, adults can also experience it. Treatment options include topical creams, oral medications, and lifestyle changes aimed at reducing oil production and inflammation. Though often temporary, acne can affect self-esteem, making effective management important.
