Q & A

What is acne vulgaris?

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands, characterized by the presence of blackheads, red bumps, large solid bumps, and pus-filled bumps (pimples).

What causes acne to form?

Acne can form when pores become blocked by dirt, sebum, or dead skin cells, leading to infection and inflammation. It can also be caused by the growth of the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes.

Why is it important not to pop pimples?

Popping pimples can push the blockage deeper into the pores, leading to a longer healing process and potentially causing scarring, especially if done with dirty hands.

How does frequent face washing contribute to acne?

Washing your face too often can strip the skin of its natural oils, prompting the skin to produce even more oil. This excess oil can block pores and cause acne to appear.

How often should you wash your face to prevent acne?

It is recommended to wash your face no more than twice a day to avoid over-drying your skin and triggering more oil production, which can lead to acne.

Can using the wrong skincare products cause acne?

Yes, using skincare products that are unsuitable for your skin type or contain irritating ingredients can contribute to acne development.

How does diet affect acne?

Certain foods, particularly sugary or processed foods like candies, chocolate, cakes, and ice cream, can worsen acne. Some individuals may also experience acne due to dairy or dairy products.

Can stress cause acne?

While stress does not directly cause acne, excessive stress can exacerbate existing acne by worsening the condition.

What are the potential long-term effects of not treating acne properly?

If left untreated, acne can lead to scarring, dark spots, or permanent damage to the skin. It may also affect an individual's confidence and self-esteem.

Is there a link between hormonal changes and acne?
