Acne is a common skin condition that affects many individuals, especially teenagers and young adults. It occurs when the hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This leads to the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and occasionally cysts. Acne can appear on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders, causing discomfort and self esteem issues. While hormonal changes, genetic factors, and certain medications can contribute to acne. It is also influenced by poor skincare habits, stress, and an unhealthy diet. Fortunately, acne can be managed and treated through proper skincare routine, regular cleansing, and the use of acne fighting products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
