What is Acne Vulgaris?

Acne Vulgaris is the medical term for common acne, characterized by pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes cystic lesions on the face, neck, chest, or back. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation.

Causes of Acne Vulgaris

  • Excess Sebum Production – Leads to clogged pores and pimples.

  • Hormonal Fluctuations – During puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or stress.

  • Bacterial Infection – Propionibacterium acnes contributes to inflammation.

  • Genetic Predisposition – Family history increases susceptibility.

  • Diet & Lifestyle Factors – High sugar, dairy, or oily foods may trigger acne.

  • Stress – Can worsen acne severity.

  • Cosmetic or Skincare Products – Use of comedogenic products can block pores.
