What is acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when the pores in your skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can create pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Acne can occur anywhere on the body, but it is most common on the face, chest, and back.

What causes acne?

Acne is caused by a combination of factors, including:

• Hormonal changes: Androgens, which are hormones produced by both boys and girls during puberty, can stimulate the oil glands in the skin to produce more oil.
• Bacteria: The bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) lives on the skin and feeds on the oil produced by the oil glands. When P. acnes bacteria multiply, they can cause inflammation and lead to the development of pimples.
• Clogged pores: When the pores in your skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, they can form pimples.

What are the different types of acne?

There are several different types of acne, including:

• Comedonal acne: This is the mildest form of acne and is characterized by the presence of blackheads and whiteheads.
• Papular acne: This type of acne is characterized by the presence of small, red bumps (papules) on the skin.
• Pustular acne: This type of acne is characterized by the presence of small, white-headed bumps (pustules) on the skin.
• Nodular acne: This is the most severe form of acne and is characterized by the presence of large, painful bumps (nodules) on the skin.

How is acne treated?

There are a variety of treatments available for acne, including:

• Topical treatments: These treatments are applied directly to the skin and can help to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and prevent new pimples from forming. Some common topical treatments for acne include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinoids.
• Oral medications: These medications are taken by mouth and can help to reduce the production of oil, kill bacteria, and reduce inflammation. Some common oral medications for acne include antibiotics, isotretinoin, and spironolactone.
• Lifestyle changes: There are a number of lifestyle changes that can help to improve acne, including:

• Washing your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser
• Using a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated
• Avoiding touching your face
• Eating a healthy diet
• Getting regular exercise
