- Causes: Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormonal changes, genetics, certain medications, and lifestyle factors can contribute to acne development.
- Types of Acne: Acne can manifest in different forms, including comedonal acne (non-inflammatory), inflammatory acne (papules, pustules), and severe acne (nodules, cysts). The severity and type of acne can vary from person to person.
- Triggers: Factors like hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, and certain skincare or cosmetic products can trigger or worsen acne. Identifying and avoiding these triggers can help manage acne symptoms.
- Treatment Options: Treatment for acne may include over-the-counter topical creams or gels containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, prescription medications (topical or oral), and professional treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy. It’s important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on the severity of your acne.
