👉 Acne, often referred to as pimples, is a common skin condition caused by the overproduction of sebum, an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands. When these glands become clogged with dead skin cells and excess oil, bacteria can proliferate, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. Factors like hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain medications can exacerbate this process. Acne can manifest in various forms, including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts, each indicating different stages of inflammation and severity. Effective management typically involves a combination of skincare routines, topical treatments, oral medications, and in some cases, professional interventions.
