Acne occurs when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, creating an environment for bacteria to thrive. This can lead to breakouts in the form of whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, and cysts. While acne is most common during adolescence, it can affect individuals of all ages.
Treatments:
-
Topical medications: Over-the-counter and prescription topical medications can help reduce inflammation, unclog pores, and combat bacteria. Common options include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinoids.
​
-
Oral medications: For more severe acne, oral medications like antibiotics or hormonal therapy may be prescribed by a healthcare professional to target inflammation and regulate hormones.
​
