Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. It often leads to breakouts in the form of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, or nodules, typically on the face, back, chest, or shoulders.

Causes of Acne:

• Excess oil production
• Clogged pores
• Hormonal changes (e.g., puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy)
• Bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes)
• Inflammation
• Certain medications or skincare products
• Genetics and stress

Types of Acne:

• Whiteheads – closed clogged pores
• Blackheads – open clogged pores
• Papules – small red bumps
• Pustules – pimples with pus
• Nodules – large, painful lumps under the skin
• Cysts – deep, pus-filled infections (most severe form)

Treatment Options:

• Topical treatments: salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, chemical peels

• Lasers & Devices: NeoClear By Aerolase
