Acne

Acne is a skin condition that causes different types of bumps on the face and body. It happens when the pores get clogged with oil, dead skin, bacteria, or other things. Acne can be mild, moderate, or severe, and can leave scars or damage the skin.

​

Some factors that may cause acne are

• Hormones: They change during puberty, pregnancy, or other times and make the skin produce more oil.

• Genetics: Some people are more likely to get acne from their family.

• Diet: Some foods may trigger or worsen acne for some people, but there is no clear evidence.

• Stress: It can affect the immune system and the hormones and cause inflammation or breakouts.

• Medications: Some drugs may have acne as a side effect, such as steroids or birth control pills.

• Cosmetics: Some products may clog the pores or irritate the skin and cause acne.
