Acne

---

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages. It is caused by the overproduction of oil and dead skin cells clogging hair follicles, leading to the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and cysts. There are several factors that can contribute to the development of acne, including genetics, hormonal changes, diet, stress, and certain medications. It is important to maintain good skin care habits, such as cleansing the skin regularly, using non- comedogenic products, and avoiding picking or squeezing pimples, to help prevent the formation of acne and promote healthy skin.
