Acne: Causes, Symptoms, and Affected Areas
Acne is a prevalent dermatological condition characterized by the clogging of hair follicles with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This blockage results in various types of lesions, including whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. While acne can affect individuals of all ages, it is most frequently observed during adolescence due to hormonal fluctuations. Contributing factors include hormonal changes, certain medications, and the use of oily skincare products. Commonly affected areas include the face, chest, back, and shoulders.
