What is acne?
Acne is a very common skin condition that causes pimples and blemishes to form on your face, back, chest, shoulders, and upper arms. It develops when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.This process is often influenced by factors such as excess oil production, hormonal fluctuations, genetics, or certain medications.
Treating acne is crucial for preventing future breakouts and minimising scarring.
