When looking for an effective acne treatment method, it helps to understand a little more about the condition. Whilst acne commonly is linked to hormonal changes during puberty, it can actually be triggered by a number of factors. In this blog, we will look at the causes of acne, and help you understand the various methods of acne treatment available.
What is acne and what causes it?
Acne refers to breakouts and blemishes on the skin. These blemishes may appear as a couple of spots or a severe breakout that covers the surface of the skin. Sometimes, acne can cause blackheads, whiteheads, red lumps (papules), or pus-filled spots which can lead to scarring on the skin.
Acne and the pigmentation it may leave behind can be difficult to treat and can impact one’s overall self-confidence. Luckily, there are effective acne treatment methods to address the condition.
So, what causes acne? Acne can develop when the pores/ hair follicles become clogged with sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria causing infected lesions. This leads to inflammation and infection which may result in a more severe acne breakout.
Acne usually affects any area on the body with larger oil glands, including the face, back, and neck. Hormonal changes and genetics can play a part in acne development, but it can also be triggered by lifestyle and external factors like skincare, makeup, and sun damage.
