Understanding Acne
A Dermatologist's Perspective
Acne is a common skin issue that develops when sebum (oil) and dead skin cells clog the skin’s pores, which is where our hair grows. While not limited to teens, acne severity can range from mild to severe and is majorly influenced by hormonal changes, genetics and certain medicines. It can appear in a variety of ways, including papules, pustules and blackheads.
