1. Definition

Acne is a common skin condition, particularly among teenagers and young adults. It occurs when oil gland ducts become blocked, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to grow—resulting in pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes deeper, more painful nodules. Although not life-threatening, acne can leave behind scars that affect both appearance and confidence.

2. Types

• Comedones: Whiteheads and blackheads—small, plugged hair follicles visible on the skin surface.
• Papules: Small, tender, inflamed pink bumps.
• Pustules: Pimples with pus at the tip, often red around the base.
• Nodules: Large, solid lesions lodged deep in the skin, often painful.
• Scarring Lesions: Lesions that result in visible scars and skin texture changes.

3. Causes

• Hormonal Fluctuations: Androgens during puberty stimulate excessive sebum (oil) production.
• Genetics: A family history can predispose individuals to acne.
• Hormonal Disruptions: Such as those related to pregnancy or birth control.
• External Triggers: Greasy cosmetics or certain medications (e.g., lithium) that clog pores or stimulate oil production.

5. Diet Recommendations

Supporting your skin’s healing from within starts with mindful nutrition. Recommended dietary strategies include:

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of clean water to support skin detoxification.
• Anti-inflammatory Choices: Focus on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; minimize refined sugars and processed foods.
• Healthy Fats: Include omega-rich foods like flaxseed, walnuts, and chia seeds to support skin integrity.

• Low-Glycemic Foods: Whole grains, legumes, and fiber-rich veggies can help reduce acne-related flare-ups.
