Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that affects people of all ages, not just teenagers. It occurs when pores become clogged with excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria.
This can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, red spots, pustules, or deeper cyst-like breakouts. Some people may experience occasional blemishes, while others develop more persistent or widespread acne.
Acne is primarily influenced by hormonal changes that increase oil production in the skin.
Common contributing factors include:
Hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands, and when too much oil is produced, pores can become blocked and inflamed.
Acne cannot always be fully prevented, particularly when hormones are involved. However, maintaining consistent skincare and avoiding irritation can help support clearer skin.
Gentle cleansing, avoiding picking or squeezing blemishes, and using suitable non-comedogenic products may reduce flare-ups. Professional treatments are often the most effective way to manage persistent acne and reduce the risk of scarring.
