What Is ACNE?
Understanding How Acne Develops
It is rare to come across someone who has never experienced any form of acne at some point in their life. Acne, or Acne Vulgaris, is the result of hair follicles becoming clogged by an oily liquid produced by glands beneath our skin, or “sebum”.
Sebum release is a normal process that helps rid the body of dead skin cells. However, excessive production of this oil can clog pores and cause a pimple. Acne can develop on the face, back (bacne), upper arms, and chest. It affects people of all races, skin colors, ages, and sexes.

What Causes Acne & Acne Scars
Get to Know the Most Common Reasons for Getting Acne and Acne Scars.
Understanding your type of acne is the first step toward creating an effective treatment plan. Many will frantically search for the best products for acne scars without really understanding which type of acne they have. There are several types of acne, ranging in severity. You may have only one type or a mixture of several. How will you know which type of pimple treatment is best for you without knowing what you have?
The most common types of acne are whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts (the most severe type of acne). Brushing aside old wives’ tales, the following are the most common causes of acne. Notice that one of them includes eating chocolate.
Common Causes Of Acne:
- Hormones: Adolescence, Birth Control Treatments, Menstrual Period and Pregnancy
- Genetic Tendencies / Heredity
- Greasy Makeup & Not Cleaning Your Skin
- Certain Medications
- Pimple Squeezing
- Excessive Use of Pimple Treatments / Acne Spot Treatment
- Excessive Scrubbing
- Certain Hair Products
There exists a staggering amount of acne products out there offering an acne cure. The best acne solutions are not found over the counter. Just like any medical condition, you are advised to visit a specialist. Using the wrong remedies for acne may even aggravate the problem.
What Causes Acne Scars & Marks?
When acne shows up on a frequent basis, especially in the case of nodular and cystic acne outbreaks, this may result in acne scarring. The frequency of acne in the same region prevents the natural skin-healing process, leading to permanent skin tissue damage. This is what is commonly known as an acne scar. As blemishes do not only occur on the face, you may get acne scars in various parts of your body. Individuals with more severe acne are more likely to have back scars, or “bacne scars” as well.
The following are the most common types of pimple scars:
- Hypertrophic, or keloid: When acne repair prompts an overproduction of collagen, resulting in a permanent bump.
- Atrophic: The term for depressed scars or “acne holes” resulting from a loss of tissue. These include Rolling, Ice Pick, and Box Car Scars.
- Acne Marks: An acne mark is an alteration in skin pigmentation, usually either dark brown or reddish, which is a result of acne.
