Understanding Acne — Causes & Triggers

Knowing what causes acne helps choose the right treatment and prevention strategies. Common contributing factors include:

Bacterial overgrowth: Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) can proliferate in blocked pores, leading to inflammation and breakouts.
Hormonal shifts: Fluctuations during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or stress can trigger increased oil production and acne.
Pore blockage: Accumulation of dead skin cells and oil clogs hair follicles, causing comedones and pimples.
Genetic predisposition: A family history of acne increases the likelihood of developing it.

FAQs

Common Questions About Acne & Pimple Treatment

Do non-surgical options work for every acne type?

Many cases of mild to moderate acne respond well to non-surgical treatments. Severe or cystic acne often needs a combination of topical, oral and procedural therapies for best results.

What side effects should I expect from acne treatments?

Side effects depend on the therapy used. Dryness, redness, irritation and increased sun sensitivity are common with some topical or oral medications. Your dermatologist will explain risks and how to manage them.

How soon will I see improvement?

Many patients notice changes within a few weeks, but full benefit often requires consistent treatment over several months. Timelines vary by treatment and acne severity.

Does diet or lifestyle affect acne?

Diet, stress, sleep and skincare habits can influence acne. Combining medical treatments with healthy lifestyle choices often produces better, longer-lasting results.

How is the best treatment chosen for me?

A dermatologist will evaluate your skin type, acne form and medical history to recommend a personalised plan — this may include topical treatments, oral medications, lasers, peels or combined approaches.

What alternative acne remedies are popular in India?

Common alternative approaches include Ayurvedic remedies, herbal topical treatments (like neem or turmeric), homeopathy and certain traditional therapies. These may help some people but should be discussed with your doctor to ensure safety and suitability.

Are alternative treatments proven to work?

Some natural and traditional remedies show benefit anecdotally or in small studies, but many lack robust clinical evidence. They may be used as complementary therapies under medical supervision.
