Acne
Acne is a common skin condition resulting from several factors:
Excess Sebum Production:
- Overactive sebaceous glands produce too much oil, clogging pores.
Clogged Pores:
- Dead skin cells, oil, and debris block hair follicles, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.
Bacteria:
- Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria thrive in clogged pores, causing inflammation and infection.
Hormonal Changes:
- Androgen hormones increase oil production, especially during puberty, menstruation, and pregnancy.
Diet and Lifestyle:
- High-glycemic foods, dairy products, stress, and certain medications can exacerbate acne.
