ACNE
Acne, a common skin condition affecting millions worldwide, occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Resulting in pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, acne often emerges during adolescence but can persist into adulthood. Understanding its causes, symptoms, and effective treatments is crucial for managing this condition and achieving clear, healthy skin
ACNE Introduction
Acne, medically known as acne vulgaris, manifests as various types of blemishes on the skin, including pimples, cysts, nodules, blackheads, and whiteheads. Primarily appearing on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders, acne can lead to discomfort, self-consciousness, and even scarring if left untreated. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, bacteria, and certain medications contribute to its development. Effective acne management involves adopting a comprehensive approach that addresses both the underlying causes and visible symptoms.
