Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting teenagers and adults alike. At SkinWise Clinic by Dr. Khushboo, we help you understand the real cause of your acne and offer science-backed, customized treatments that heal your skin — without damaging it.

What is Acne?

Acne is a skin condition where the pores get clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, or bacteria, leading to:

  • Pimples (pustules)

  • Blackheads and whiteheads

  • Painful cysts or nodules

  • Scarring and pigmentation

It most commonly appears on the face, back, chest, and shoulders.

What Causes Acne?

  • Hormonal changes (especially during puberty, menstruation, PCOS)

  • Excess oil (sebum) production

  • Clogged pores due to dead skin buildup

  • Bacterial overgrowth on the skin

  • Stress, poor sleep, or unhealthy diet

  • Overuse of makeup or wrong skin products

Types of Acne

  • Comedonal Acne – blackheads & whiteheads

  • Inflammatory Acne – red, swollen pimples

  • Nodulocystic Acne – deep, painful lumps under the skin

  • Hormonal Acne – often along the jawline, chin, or during periods
