ACNE TREATMENT

ACNE TREATMENT

Acne is a common skin condition that affects many teenagers and adults alike, often impacting self-esteem and confidence. It occurs when sebaceous glands produce excess oil, leading to clogged pores and the growth of bacteria. Various factors, including hormonal changes and genetics, contribute to this condition.

What is hormonal acne?

Hormonal acne is triggered by fluctuations in hormone levels, often affecting women during their menstrual cycles. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can exacerbate this type of acne, leading to deep, cystic lesions on the lower face and jawline.
