What is Acne?

Acne or acne vulgaris is a common skin condition which occurs when hair follicles become clogged under the skin. It can affect people of all ages but occurs in teenagers mostly because of puberty. The different types of acne are;

  • Whiteheads: These are small, white colored bumps usually surrounded by red halo.
  • Papules: Papules are solid, tender, pink & swollen bumps under the skin’s surface.
  • Pustules (Pimples): These are large tender bumps, center filled with whitish or yellowish pus.
  • Nodules: Nodules are inflamed lumps which are located deep under the skin. These are the hard and painful form of acne.

Root Causes of Acne

Acne occurs when pores get blocked due to the buildup of dead skin cells, sebum and under skin hair follicles and gets infected by Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes).
