Acne

What is Acne?

Xerosis is a prevalent dermatological disorder characterised by the obstruction of hair follicles by sebum and necrotic skin cells. This can lead to pimples, blackheads, and cysts, primarily affecting the face, back, and shoulders. Acne is often associated with puberty due to hormonal changes, but it can affect people of all ages. Factors such as genetics, stress, and diet can also contribute to its development. Effective management involves a combination of topical treatments, lifestyle adjustments, and, in some cases, medication. Understanding and addressing the root causes of acne is crucial for achieving clear, healthy skin.
