Acne, or acne vulgaris, is a common skin condition caused when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
It often appears as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and oily skin — mainly on the face, chest, and back. In severe cases, it can leave scars.
Acne can also affect emotional well-being, leading to low confidence, anxiety, or even depression.
Genetics play a major role, responsible for about 80% of cases. Hormones increase oil production, which can block pores. When combined with the natural skin bacteria Cutibacterium acnes, inflammation and breakouts can occur.
Acne is not caused by poor hygiene, despite common myths.
