What is Acne

 Acne is a condition of the hair follicle and oil gland unit (pilosebaceous unit) in the skin where overproduction of oil combined with dead skin cells cause the clogging of pores. The C acnes bacteria which lives on the skin then colonises these areas and all the while we have inflammation of varying degrees which can lead to spots being red and sore. The inflammation is also responsible for scarring left after the spots have gone. 

 The two main causes of acne are genetics and hormones.

Hormonal changes – mainly peaks in androgen (male) hormones will also contribute. This can be due to puberty, or by taking additional hormones.

In females, normal fluctuations in hormones around the menstrual cycle can cause hormonal acne. Irregularities in the hormones due to conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can exacerbate this. In addition, stress causes fluctuations in our cortisol levels which can also trigger acne.

Environment and lifestyle factors including the climate you live in, diet, exercise habits and the products used in your skincare routine can also significantly contribute to acne.
