Causes of Acne
- Excess Oil Production Acne occurs when the skin produces excess oil (sebum), which can clog pores and lead to the formation of pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads.
- Bacteria The presence of acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) can trigger inflammation in the skin, worsening acne breakouts.
- Hormonal Fluctuations Changes in hormones during puberty, pregnancy, or menstruation can lead to increased oil production, resulting in acne breakouts.
- Clogged Pores Dead skin cells and debris can block pores, leading to the development of acne.
