What is acne?
Acne, a familiar companion for many, is a skin condition that doesn’t discriminate – affecting both teens and adults alike. Around 90% of teens, 50% of adult women, and 25% of all adults in India struggle with acne. At SkinAid Clinic, our experienced dermatologists understand the nuances of this common concern and are dedicated to providing relief from its symptoms.
What causes acne?
There are many popular myths about acne. Contrary to popular belief, chocolate doesn’t cause breakouts. Research suggests that acne is caused when sebaceous hair follicles (known as the pores) are blocked with excess oil and dead skin cells. The journey of a pimple starts weeks before it is visible on the skin.
Deep inside our pores, the sebaceous glands create sebum – a vital skin oil that maintains the skin’s moisture. When new skin cells are created they push the old cells out and sometimes shedding skin cells mix with sebum, forming a plug in the follicle. The plug traps the oil and bacteria inside the follicle which eventually starts swelling when more oil is produced. This plug traps oil and bacteria, leading to inflammation and the eventual appearance of a pimple.
