Understanding acne
When pores fill with sebum and dead skin, the result is acne: pimples, blackheads and occasionally sore nodules.
What can cause acne
Hormones, oil production, skin bacteria and family history are the main factors. Heat, sweat, sunscreen or cosmetics that block pores, and friction from straps or masks, can make it flare on holiday.
Signs of acne to look for
- Red, tender spots
- Marks or scarring after spots heal
- Deeper painful lumps or cysts
- Oily skin
