Acne

Acne is a broad term that encompasses a range of skin conditions characterized by the inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous (oil) glands. Acne is commonly associated with hormonal changes during puberty, but factors like genetics, hormonal fluctuations, certain medications, and lifestyle can contribute. Whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts are just a few of the different ways acne can appear.

Contributing Factors to Acne:

• Hormonal Changes: Adolescence, menstrual cycles, and hormonal fluctuations can contribute to acne.
• Genetics: The chance of having acne may be raised by a family history of the disorder.
• Dietary Factors: Some studies suggest a connection between diet and acne, although the link is not universally agreed upon.
• Certain Medications: Some medications may contribute to acne as a side effect.
