What is Acne?
Acne is inflammation of the sebaceous gland unit. Sebaceous glands are found in the lower layer of the skin (dermis) and secrete sebum which lubricates and helps waterproof the skin . Sweat glands produce sweat that help regulate body temperature. Acne happens when hair follicles clog with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. This triggers inflammation, resulting in blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Common areas include the face, chest, back, and even the scalp, chin, and buttocks .
What Causes Acne?
Multiple factors can play a role:
Hormonal changes—during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, PCOS or perimenopause
Excess oil production from active sebaceous glands
Clogged pores from dead skin cells and comedogenic products
