Skin Acne Treatment
Acne is a skin condition characterized by whiteheads, blackheads, and inflamed red pimples.
Acne forms under the skin and can be caused by a number of issues, such as diet, stress, hormones, dirty oil skin and more. How does acne occur? Acne happens when tiny holes on the surface of the skin, called pores, become clogged. Each pore is an opening to a canal called a follicle, which contains a hair and an oil gland.
Normally, the oil glands help keep the skin lubricated and help remove old skin cells. When glands produce too much oil, the pores can become blocked, accumulating dirt, debris, and bacteria.
Symptoms:
- Blackheads
- Crusting of skin eruptions
- Cysts
