Acne is a common skin condition characterized by the presence of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and pustules on the skin. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Acne typically affects areas with a high concentration of oil glands, such as the face, chest, and back. It can range in severity from mild, with occasional breakouts, to severe, with persistent and widespread lesions. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, and certain lifestyle and environmental factors can contribute to the development of acne.
Who all can get acne?
While it is commonly associated with adolescence and puberty, it can occur at any stage of life. Both males and females can experience acne, although hormonal fluctuations during puberty often contribute to its prevalence in teenagers. However, adult acne is also quite common and can persist into adulthood. Additionally, factors such as genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, certain medications, and environmental factors can contribute to the development of acne in individuals of any age or gender.
