How Does Acne Present?
These unsightly spots can appear anywhere on the body but are most predominantly present on the face, neck, back, and chest. Several factors can contribute to the varying degrees of acne breakouts, including, but not limited to, changes in hormone levels, genetics, and lifestyle factors.
Acne can be a temporary issue caused by factors such as too much sugar in the diet, the use of certain beauty/ hygiene products that are comedogenic, or a possible side effect of certain medications. Acne can also be persistent and, if left untreated, can sometimes lead to emotional distress, self-esteem issues, and permanent scarring.
