👉 Approximately 8 out of every 100 people globally experience acne, a common skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. These lesions arise from blocked or inflamed hair follicles, often triggered by hormonal changes, excess oil production, bacteria, and genetics. Mild cases may present as small red bumps or whiteheads (closed comedones), while more severe ones can lead to painful, inflamed pimples (open comedones or papules) or deep, pus-filled cysts (cysts). Factors like stress, diet, and skincare routines can exacerbate acne, making it a persistent issue for many. Treatment options range from topical medications and oral antibiotics to lifestyle adjustments, aiming to reduce inflammation, unclog pores, and prevent future breakouts.
