Acne
Did you just wake up and go to the bathroom to freshen up and got the shock of your life? You see something odd on your forehead, that wasn't there the previous night when you went to bed. It looks ugly and you wish it would go away.
The What, The Why & The How
The What
That ugly thing that pops up on our face when we least expect turning our world upside down is what an acne is. Also known as pimples, these are outburst through our skin pores thanks to all the grime and dirt that has accumulated there. It typically occurs during the adolescent phase in a person, say, during their teenage years. And some are lucky, they don't get acnes at all, while others see clusters of them on their face. It is not something that only girls get, there are boys who suffer from this as well. If you are lucky, it will last couple of days, and then disappear never to reappear again, but the unfortunate ones see signs of acne through their life, some of which leave behind scars.
The Why
The most common kind of acne is the acne vulgaris which translates to common acne. The face is the region of the face that is affected in almost 90% of the cases, at times, people get it on their forearms or chest region. But those are called Keratosis, and not acne, since they are bigger in size and last longer than a common acne. It is basically eruptions in our skin due to dirt and other particles settling in. if the acne is very severe, and looks like a big boil, it could be a cyst, in which case one needs to be careful and not touch it too much. If they do, it might erupt, ooze with puss and not be a pretty sight.

Overactive Oil Glands: Excess sebum production can clog pores, leading to acne.
Dead Skin Cell Accumulation: These cells can get trapped in the pores when combined with sebum.
Bacteria: The bacterium Propionibacterium acnes can lead to redness, inflammation, and pimples.
Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, or menstrual cycles can trigger acne.
Diet and Lifestyle: Certain foods and stress levels can also influence acne occurrences
The How
For some individuals, acne can be a significant issue, leading them to consider avoiding social situations such as school or college out of fear of judgment. Hormonal changes, particularly in women, can often contribute to acne, and while there may be no immediate cure, it is typically a natural process that resolves over time. It is important not to panic or stress over these blemishes, as they are simply the body’s response to internal changes. Acne can also result from poor eating habits or a consistent intake of oily foods, as blocked follicles prevent the skin from receiving sufficient oxygen. Touching acne-prone areas and then touching other parts of the face can spread bacteria, potentially causing additional breakouts.
