Acne

Acne is a common skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. It typically develops during puberty due to hormonal changes and can affect people of all ages. It is caused by the overproduction of sebum, which can clog pores and lead to the formation of comedones (whiteheads and blackheads). It can also cause inflammation and redness. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and may include cysts, nodules, and scarring. Treatment options include topical creams, oral medications, and lifestyle changes.
