What Is Acne?

Acne is a skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, and cysts, often caused by clogged pores and bacteria. It can affect self-esteem and may lead to scarring if left untreated. Targeted treatments can help manage and prevent breakouts. Acne is most common during puberty but can affect people of all ages, often triggered by hormonal changes, stress, or certain lifestyle and dietary factors. Consistent skincare and medical treatments can reduce symptoms, leading to clearer and healthier-looking skin.
