Acne

Acne is the whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and cysts that form when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.

But Acne is more than that. It can be a social stigma that affects every aspect of your life. But we can change that.

Acne Defined:

Acne is a localized skin inflammation that results from overactivity of the sebaceous oil glands at the base of specialized hair follicle pores. These sebaceous glands are stimulated by androgen hormones that are produced in the adrenal glands. The pores become clogged and Propionibacterium acnes bacteria ferment the trapped secretions, further inflaming the situation. Acne can involve various skin blemishes, including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, cysts, and nodules.
