FAQs
-
Acne arises when hair follicles get clogged by excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria - this leads to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples or even deeper bumps like nodules and cysts.
-
Acne is not just a teenage problem. While it’s most common among teens and young adults, people of any age — including adults — can develop acne. In fact, adult acne (especially among women) is increasingly common due to hormonal fluctuations, stress, lifestyle, or other factors.
-
Dermatologists note that most acne treatments — whether topical medications, lifestyle changes, or professional therapies — take time to be effective; often weeks to months before visible improvement. Patience and consistency are important: breakouts might even temporarily worsen before improving, especially when using active treatments (like retinoids), so adherence over several weeks is key.
-
Yes — especially with moderate to severe acne (nodules, cysts), or if pimples are squeezed/popped improperly. Such cases can lead to scarring or dark marks. Early and proper treatment under guidance helps reduce the risk of scars, and professional care often includes scar-prevention or scar-treatment options.
