About acne
Acne is a common skin condition in which hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin, causing spots, blackheads and sometimes painful lumps.
Common triggers
Hormones, oil production, bacteria on the skin and genetics. Heat, perspiration, pore-clogging sun lotions or cosmetics and friction from straps can make it worse while travelling.
How acne feels
- Oily skin
- Marks or scarring after spots heal
- Deeper painful lumps or cysts
- Red, tender spots
- Blackheads and whiteheads
