What Causes Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Factors contributing to acne include excess oil production, bacteria, inflammation, and hormonal fluctuations. Hormones can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, leading to clogged pores and the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Stress, diet, and genetics can also play a role in acne development. Understanding the root causes of acne is essential in selecting an effective treatment that addresses these underlying factors rather than just the surface symptoms.
