Understanding Active Acne
- Active acne is a common skin condition caused by clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. It results in pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, and nodules, often appearing on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. Acne can range from mild to severe and, if left untreated, may lead to scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- Excess oil production (seborrhea) contributes to breakouts.
- Blocked pores trap bacteria, leading to inflammation.
- Hormonal changes, stress, and diet can trigger flare-ups.
- Untreated acne may lead to long-term skin damage.
