Acne, as we already know, occurs when oil, bacteria, pollution, and dead skin cells clog the tiny pores of the skin, which results in whiteheads, pimples, or blackheads. Most commonly noticeable on the face, the forehead, chest, or upper back & shoulders.
Bacteria is not always the main cause of acne development, although it may play a role in its development. Women in their mid- to late-20s also develop acne quite easily.
Following are some of the contributing factors for your acne scars
Heredity: It depends on genes. If any of your parents have had severe acne, then it is likely to be the reason for your acne. It is one of the reasons why people have more frequent and hard to control acne. Practicing strict hygiene and discipline keeps your acne under check.
Pressure: In many patients, pressure from an object such as regularly wearing helmets, chin straps, masks, collars, suspenders, and factors like these can cause acne and aggravate it.
Drugs: Some types of medications cause or worsen your acne. However, not all cases of acne are not drug-related. It may be a contributing factor. So if you are on medication, then it may be causing you acne.
Occupations: Exposure to chemicals, harsh, unhygienic work conditions may also result in acne.
Cosmetics: Some cosmetics or skincare products clog your pores and thus cause acne. Therefore, check the skincare products and read the list of its ingredients before using them. Choose the right type of skincare products that suit your skin and never experiment with your skin as it is likely to aggravate the acne. Patients often use self-recommended methods to cure their acne, which often results in more severe problems. You should carefully choose the products for your skin, face, and body.
