Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, especially during adolescence and young adulthood, but it can affect people of any age. It develops when hair follicles become blocked with oil (sebum), dead skin cells and inflammatory processes. Hormonal changes can increase oil production and contribute to acne.
What Causes Acne?
Acne usually develops through a combination of several key factors:
Excess oil production
Blocked pores
Buildup of dead skin cells
Inflammation
Changes involving Cutibacterium acnes bacteria
Hormonal fluctuations (puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or PCOS)
Genetics: Genetics also plays an important role in the development and severity of acne.
Different Types of Acne
Understanding the specific type of acne is the first step toward effective treatment and clearer skin.
Blackheads (Open comedones)
Pores become blocked and the material oxidizes, producing a dark appearance.
Whiteheads (Closed comedones)
Blocked pores remain closed at the surface.
Papules
Small, red, inflamed bumps.
Pustules
Inflamed bumps containing visible pus.
Nodules
Large, painful, deeper inflammatory lesions.
Cysts
Deep, painful inflammatory lesions that can increase the risk of permanent scarring.
Where Does Acne Commonly Occur?
Acne can appear wherever there are many oil-producing (sebaceous) glands, including:
Face
Forehead
Chest
Upper Back
Shoulders
Jawline
Adult Acne in Women
Adult female acne is particularly common around the chin, jawline and lower face and may fluctuate with hormonal changes.
If acne is accompanied by irregular periods, excessive facial/body hair, scalp hair thinning or difficulty with weight management, a doctor may consider hormonal conditions such as PCOS and recommend appropriate evaluation.
