What Causes Acne?
Acne is a complex skin condition caused by a combination of factors, including:
- Excess oil production: Hormones trigger your sebaceous glands to produce sebum, a natural oil that lubricates your skin. When you produce too much, it can clog pores and form pimples.
- Dead skin cell buildup: Dead skin cells can get trapped in your pores along with sebum, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria.
- Inflammation: When bacteria in clogged pores multiply, they trigger inflammation, leading to red, swollen pimples and pustules.
- Genetics: Some people are simply more prone to acne than others due to family history.
Ance Scars
Acne scars can form when acne lesions become inflamed or infected, damaging the underlying skin tissue. There are different types of acne scars, including:
- Atrophic scars: These appear as indented pits or rolling scars.
- Hypertrophic scars: These are raised scars that form above the skin’s surface.
- Keloid scars: These are thick, fibrous scars that can grow beyond the original site of the acne lesion.
