About acne
Acne is a frequent skin condition in which hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin, causing spots, blackheads and sometimes painful lumps.
What can cause acne
Hormones, oil production, bacteria on the skin and genetics. Heat, sweat, sunscreen or cosmetics that block pores, and friction from straps or masks, can make it flare on holiday.
How acne feels
- Red, tender spots
- Marks or scarring after spots heal
- Deeper painful lumps or cysts
- Oily skin
