👉 Acne, often referred to as pimples, arises from a combination of factors including excess sebum production, clogged pores, and bacterial infection. When pores become blocked by dead skin cells and oil, bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes can proliferate, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. Hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain medications can exacerbate these conditions, resulting in various types of acne, from blackheads and whiteheads to more severe cysts and nodules. Proper skincare routines, including cleansing, exfoliating, and using non-comedogenic products, can help manage acne by reducing pore blockages and preventing bacterial growth.
