Overview

Acne is a common skin condition that various factors, including genetics and hormones, can cause. It typically appears on the face, neck, and chest and can be frustrating and challenging to treat. The most common type of acne is called acne vulgaris. This is the most common type of acne and typically affects teenagers and adults. Acne vulgaris can be caused by hormones, dirt, oil, and bacteria. Other skin conditions, including rosacea, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis, can cause acne. In some cases, acne may be caused by a combination of factors. There is no cure for acne, but treatments can include prescription medications, over-the-counter creams, and laser therapy. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the acne lesions. Causes Acne is a long-standing problem affecting many people of all ages. A combination of genetics, hormones, bacteria, and environmental factors causes it. There is no one cause of acne, but it is believed that it is a result of the interaction of these factors. Acne can occur on any part of the body but is most common on the face, neck, and chest. Acne is caused by sebum (oil) and Propionibacterium acnes (a bacterium). These two factors interact to create acne lesions. The sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands, which are located mainly on the face, neck, and chest. The sebum combines oil, sweat, and dead skin cells. Propionibacterium acnes are a type of bacteria found mainly on the skin. The Propionibacterium acnes help to break down the sebum.
