Acne Treatment at Skinpase Clinic
What is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that develops when hair follicles beneath the skin become clogged. Sebum oil that keeps the skin from drying out and dead skin cells clog the pores, resulting in lesions that shows up and are referred to as pimples or zits. The outbreaks may initially appear on the face, though they can also occur on the back, shoulders, and chest.
The majority of people’s acne normally goes away by the time they are in their thirties although some still have acne in their forties and fifties.
Who is affected by acne?
Although acne is most common in teens, it can also develop later, such as in one’s mid-20s or during menopause. Skin that has been exposed to Propionibacterium acnes will appear red and swollen. With topical creams, gels, or antibiotics, it can be exceedingly challenging to treat well and can have catastrophic impacts on confidence and self-esteem.
Cysts can form beneath the skin’s surface in extreme situations, and if they rupture, acne scarring could develop.
Types of Acne
There are various lesions, or pimples, that acne can create. Comedones are the medical term for swollen or blocked hair follicles. A few of the common acne types are:
- Whiteheads: A white lump caused by clogged hair follicles that remain under the skin.
- Blackheads: Broken-open clogged follicles that ascend to the skin's surface. They are not unclean; rather, the air causes the sebum on the skin's surface to turn black.

Doctors and researchers think that any one or more of the following factors may contribute to acne development:
