Acne is a term used to refer to breakouts and blemishes on the skin. Whilst it is a very common skin condition amongst both men and women of all ages, it is usually at its worst during the teenage years as hormones change. Acne can vary in severity and may lead to blackheads, whiteheads, and red lumps (also known as papules).
What causes acne?
Acne can be caused by numerous factors including hormones and sometimes even genetics. The condition most commonly affects areas where there are larger oil glands such as your face, neck back. Through external factors, skincare, makeup, and general oil production, the pores in these areas become blocked, so oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria become trapped within the pore, resulting in a breakout.
Unfortunately, some acne can leave scarring on the skin which can have a negative impact on your overall self-confidence. Luckily there are several treatment solutions available to help you address your acne and help target the pigmentation that may be left behind.
