What Is Acne and Acne Scarring?
Acne is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It may present as:
- Blackheads or whiteheads
- Papules and pustules
- Cystic or nodular lesions
Acne scarring occurs when inflammation damages the skin and disrupts the healing process, leaving behind textural irregularities or pigmentation issues.
Common Causes
- Hormonal fluctuations – Especially during puberty, menstruation, or stress
- Excess oil production – Can clog pores and feed acne-causing bacteria
- Genetics – Plays a role in acne severity and scarring
- Picking or squeezing blemishes – Increases risk of scarring
Prevention & Management Tips
- Avoid touching or picking at breakouts
- Use non-comedogenic skincare products
- Maintain a balanced skincare routine with gentle cleansing and exfoliation
- Protect healing skin from sun exposure
- Seek early intervention to prevent long-term scarring
