Acne

What is Acne?

Acne is a condition of the sebaceous glands, most commonly occurring during adolescence. It is characterized by increased skin oiliness, the appearance of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), and breakouts that typically affect the face, scalp, chest, and back.

Causes

The main cause of acne is hormonal changes, especially during puberty, when increased androgen production raises skin oiliness. The bacterium Propionibacterium acnes also contributes to inflammation and pustules.

Is Acne Contagious?

No, acne is not contagious. However, genetics play a significant role — inherited sensitivity of sebaceous glands to hormones makes some people more prone to acne.

Treatment Standards

At Kani Dəri Clinic, acne is treated using international protocols: precise diagnosis, determination of stage and type, regular monitoring, and individually selected therapy. This approach ensures a fast and sustainable result.

Other Contributing Factors

Acne can worsen with hormonal imbalances such as polycystic ovary syndrome or menstrual disorders in women, and increased testosterone levels from physical activity in men.

Recommendations

During treatment, it is important to choose the right skincare products. Cosmetics with oily textures can aggravate acne. Use only non-comedogenic products and consult a specialist.
