When your follicles become clogged with excess oil & dead skin cells, acne a skin disorder, develops. It results in pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads. Although it can afflict anyone of any age, acne is most prevalent in teenagers.
Symptoms of Acne:
Whiteheads (close clogged pores)
Blackheads (open plugged pores)
little painful red lumps (papules)
Pus-filled papules often known as pimples or pustules are common.
Large | hard and uncomfortable lumps under the skin (nodules)
Pus-filled aching tumors under the skin (cystic lesions)
Acne typically develops on the chest | upper back | shoulders | face and forehead.
Acne can be worsened or caused by certain factors:
Hormonal adjustments:
In both boys and girls, androgens are hormones that rise during puberty and induce the sebaceous glands to grow and produce more sebum. Breakouts can also result from hormonal changes around midlife, particularly in women.
Certain medicines:
Examples include corticosteroids, testosterone, and lithium-containing medications.
Diet:
According to studies, eating certain foods, such as carb-rich items like bread, bagels, and chips, may make acne worse. If adhering to particular dietary limitations will help people with acne, more research is required.
Stress:
Although stress does not really cause acne, it can exacerbate an existing case if you already have it.
