Acne is a medical condition in which the hair follicles become clogged under the skin. After being clogged, the area gets inflamed and often gets foiled with a liquid discharge called pus formation on the skin, which often leads to outbreaks from different skin parts. It can be due to several reasons.

What causes Acne & How do I know I have it?
Acne can be caused by various factors including excess sebum production, clogged pores due to dead skin cells or oil, and the proliferation of bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes. Hormonal changes during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy, certain medications like corticosteroids, and genetics also play significant roles. Diet, especially high glycemic foods and dairy, stress-induced cortisol increases, environmental factors such as pollution and humidity, and the use of unsuitable skincare products can all contribute to the development and exacerbation of acne.
Acne can occur in all parts of the skin, either on the face, cheeks, forehead, shoulders, or back. You will know you have acne when you have:
- Outbreaks
- Pus formation in the bulging
- The redness and inflammation of the skin
- Irritation or itching of the skin
Acne is a symptom indicating several underlying conditions that lead to acne on the skin or different body parts.

- Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water will help regulate the body’s normal metabolism and electrolyte balance.
- Follow a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables to stay full of nutrients and lead to healthy skin.
