What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition characterized by the blockage of hair follicles with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It typically presents as pimples, blackheads, or cysts and most often affects the face, chest, and back. While it can occur at any age, it is especially prevalent during puberty due to hormonal changes. Acne may not be life-threatening, but it can significantly impact an individual’s self-esteem and emotional well-being.
Various Stages & Severity of Acne
Acne can be classified into various stages based on severity. Mild acne includes occasional breakouts such as comedones (blackheads and whiteheads). Moderate acne features more frequent inflamed lesions, leading to visible pimples and discomfort. Severe acne, often referred to as cystic acne, is characterized by painful cysts that can cause significant skin damage and scarring. The severity can fluctuate due to hormonal changes, stress, diet, and skincare routines. Understanding these stages is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment.

What Are the Causes of Acne?
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy can increase oil production.
- Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands lead to clogged pores.
- Clogged Pores: Accumulation of dead skin cells blocks hair follicles.
- Bacterial Overgrowth: Propionibacterium acnes bacteria can worsen acne.
- Inflammatory Response: The body's reaction to bacteria and oil buildup causes redness and swelling.
- Diet: High glycemic index foods may exacerbate acne.
