Acne/Acne Scars

What Is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads and inflamed pimples. It often affects the face, chest, and back, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Acne scars form as a result of deep inflammation damaging the skin. This condition can impact self-confidence but is treatable with advanced medical solutions.

What Are the Causes of Acne?

Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands produce too much oil, clogging pores.
Clogged Hair Follicles: Dead skin cells can block pores, leading to inflammation.
Bacteria Build-Up: Propionibacterium acnes can multiply and worsen inflammation.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy or menstruation can trigger acne.
Diet and Stress: Certain foods and high stress levels can contribute to breakouts.
