Acne can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormones, bacteria, inflammation, and genetics. Hormonal acne is typically associated with hormonal imbalances that lead to increased oil production, leading to the formation of deep, painful cysts. Bacterial acne, on the other hand, is caused by the presence of bacteria on the skin, such as Propionibacterium acnes, which can clog pores and cause inflammation. To determine the specific type of acne you have, it is best to consult with a dermatologist who can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you.
