What is acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can lead to the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and even cysts or nodules. Acne can affect people of all ages, but it's most common during puberty.

What causes acne?

Several factors contribute to acne development, including hormonal changes, excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation. Certain medications and genetics can also play a role.

How do you treat acne?

Treatment depends on the severity of acne. Mild acne may respond well to over-the-counter topical treatments, while moderate to severe acne often requires prescription medications, such as topical retinoids, antibiotics, or oral contraceptives.
