ACNE
What is Acne?
Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to pimples, blackheads, or cysts. Common in adolescence, it can persist or appear for the first time in adulthood.
Acne Frequency?
Acne is very common, affecting about 80% of people aged 11 to 30 at some point in their lives. It can also affect around 5% of adults over 40, making it one of the most prevalent skin conditions.
What Causes Acne?
- Excess oil (sebum) production – This clogs pores.
- Dead skin cell buildup – These combine with oil to block hair follicles.
- Bacteria – Specifically Cutibacterium acnes, which triggers inflammation.
- Hormonal changes – Increased androgens during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or stress can stimulate oil production.
- Genetics – A family history of acne increases your likelihood.
Other contributors include certain medications, cosmetics, and external irritants like pollution or friction from clothing.
