Spots are caused by clogged pores, often due to excess oil, dead skin cells, or bacteria. This blockage leads to inflammation and the formation of pimples.
Genetics, hormonal changes, stress, diet and certain medications can also influence how prone someone is to acne.

We know all about it
There are several types of acne: whiteheads (clogged pores with no surface exposure), blackheads (open pores with oxidised oil), papules (small, red bumps), pustules (inflamed, pus-filled pimples), nodules (painful, deep lumps), and cysts (large, pus-filled, painful lumps). Each type varies in severity and treatment needs.
