This could also explain why so many people experience symptoms and signs of acne during adolescence.<\/p>\n<p>The increased sebum production allows for overgrowth of the normal skin bacterial flora, called Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes). This overgrowth leads to inflammation and rupture of the hair follicle, causing a tender, red pimple to form.<\/p>\n<p>Other elements like stress or anxiety are also known to trigger acne symptoms.<\/p>\n","accordion_more_text":"See more","accordion_less_text":"See less"},{"acf_fc_layout":"accordion","accordion_title":"How is acne diagnosed?","accordion_intro":"<p>If you&#8217;ve never had acne before, and you&#8217;re just beginning to show signs of acne, you may still need an acne diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Most often, the doctor will suggest a physical exam, so that the severity of your condition can be evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>A physical exam allows the doctor to assess the types of acne lesions, severity and distribution of the involved areas, presence of complications, and contributing factors like skin care products or medications that may be attributing, or screen for signs and symptoms of endocrine disorders that involve acne.<\/p>\n","accordion_content":"<p>If home remedies and over-the-counter medications aren&#8217;t helping your acne symptoms, the doctor may suggest some prescription acne medications.<\/p>\n<p>If you have severe acne symptoms, the doctor may suggest you visit a dermatologist to help provide you with a more detailed acne diagnosis.
