Acne, pimples are a very common skin problem that strikes us at puberty. Though proliferation of acne is something quite common during puberty, for some people the problem persists lifelong. When there is a hormonal turmoil within our body, the oil glands become activated and secrete sebum or oil profusely. The sebum acts like a magnet for dirt and bacteria that mingles with dead skin cells, clogging skin pores and resulting in acne break-outs. It mainly breaks out on the face, chest, shoulders, neck and back. Acne or pimples cannot prove fatal to your health but too much acne if goes untreated may cause scarring of the skin making it look ugly. It can be of the following types: whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pimples or pustules, nodules and cyst.
The main causes of acne and pimples may be listed below:
1. Hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy or menopause
