Acne

What is Acne?


Acne is a skin condition that can be mild to moderate and severe. It most commonly affects teens and appears on the face, back, and chest. Acne usually occurs due to hormonal activation which is high during the teenage years as well as during the menstrual cycle.

There are various types of acne but the most common type of acne occurs due to clogged pores and hair follicles in the skin. Pimples are a result of sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin accumulation on the skin surface.

Dermatologists or skin specialists suggest various treatment plans to get rid of acne which not only remove pimples but also help prevent them in the future. Acne takes ample time to go away, from a few weeks to months depending on the severity and the person’s overall health.

Taking ample sleep, maintaining hygiene, and a healthy diet also contribute to maintaining healthy skin thereby preventing acne. Foods like whey protein, skim milk, and those high in sugar cause acne outbreaks such as chocolates and sugary drinks.

Many factors such as environmental pollution, weather conditions, allergies, unhealthy diet, hormonal changes, stress, age, and some medications become the triggers of acne.

Your doctor will examine your skin for acne while diagnosing the type of acne you have. He may also about your stomach health, stress levels, family history, menstrual health, and the medications you’ve been taking (if any). Underlying health conditions can also be the cause of acne which need treatment.
