Acne is a common skin condition affecting individuals of all ages. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and cysts. At DERM Skin Specialists, we offer comprehensive acne management, including topical treatments, medications, and advanced therapies to help clear your skin and prevent future breakouts.

    UNDERSTANDING ACNE: More Than Skin Deep

    Acne develops when the sebaceous glands, which produce natural skin oils (sebum), become blocked. This trapped oil creates the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive, leading to inflammation and breakouts. If left untreated, acne can cause:

    Persistent pimples

    Blackheads & whiteheads

    Painful cysts

    Swelling & redness

    Long-term scarring

    WHAT CAUSES ACNE?

    One of the most common questions we hear is, “Why do I have acne?” While diet, stress, and environmental factors can contribute to breakouts, the primary culprits are:

    Genetics – A family history of acne increases the likelihood of developing it.

    Hormones – Fluctuations, particularly during puberty, pregnancy, or stress, can trigger excess oil production and breakouts.

    Other factors that can worsen acne include certain skincare products, excessive skin rubbing, and pollution.
