Dear reader,
Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with excess oil (sebum) and dead skin cells, leading to pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and, in some cases, acne scars. Acne is often influenced by hormonal changes, genetics, and bacteria. Contrary to common myths, acne is not caused by poor hygiene or simply by exposure to sunlight.
