Understanding acne
Acne is a skin condition caused by clogged pores due to excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. It leads to the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and deep cystic lesions.
Causes of acne
- Physiological acne – puberty
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Stress and lifestyle factors
- Diet (high sugar, dairy)
- Poor skincare habits
- Massages / makeup / products
- Medications – oral / topical steroids etc.
- Genetic predisposition
Acne Marks
After inflammation from acne subsides, the skin can be left with flat, dark spots called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). These marks are not true scars but can take months to fade without treatment.
Acne Scars
Acne scars result from damage to the deeper layers of the skin. Types of acne scars include:
- Ice-pick scars – Deep and narrow
- Boxcar scars – Broad with sharp edges
- Rolling scars – Wavy and shallow appearance
- Hypertrophic or Keloid scars – Raised due to excess collagen
Open Pores
Enlarged pores are common in oily, acne-prone skin and can be caused by loss of skin elasticity, excessive oil production, sun damage, or genetics. They contribute to uneven skin texture.
