WHAT IS ACNE?

A common skin problem called acne is brought on by bacteria, dead skin cells, and oil build up in the hair follicles. The face, back, and shoulders are among the skin regions that are most affected because they have a high concentration of sebaceous (oil) glands.
Because of hormonal fluctuations, stress, and continuous use of cosmetics, women are more likely to get acne.

TYPES

Comedonal Acne

  • Whiteheads, or closed comedones, are tiny, flesh-coloured pimples that can be challenging to spot.
  • Open blackheads, or comedones

  • Papules: Tiny, sensitive, red pimples
