Acne / Pimple
Acne Total Treatment
Acne is a skin condition caused by increased oil production of the sebaceous glands. The excess oil, combined with dead skin cells, blocks the hair follicles, leading to the development ofÂ
- Pimples : Blocked hair follicles infected with bacteria, appearing as raised red spots with white centers
- Whiteheads: Excess oil causing a follicle wall to bulge, resulting in pores being blocked by white plugs.
- Blackheads : Whiteheads, once open to the surface, can darken, causing blackheads. They resemble dirt stuck in pores but are actually pores congested with bacteria and oil.Â
Areas such as the face, chest, upper back, and shoulders are particularly prone to this condition.
While acne is most common among teenagers, it can affect individuals of all ages. Due to its unappealing appearance, especially when located on the face, acne is often associated with stigmatization and extreme disapproval in society. Consequently, depending on the severity of the condition, it can not only scar and damage the skin but also cause emotional distress.
