What Causes Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition caused by:
- Excess oil production (sebum)
- Blocked pores from dead skin cells
- Bacterial growth (such as Propionibacterium acnes)
- Hormonal fluctuations
Teenagers and adults alike can suffer from acne, which often appears on the face, chest, and back. Without treatment, acne can lead to inflammation, scarring, and a significant impact on mental well-being.
