What are blemishes?

Types of blemishes

Acne is caused when sebum (oil), bacteria, or dirt clogs hair follicles. Acne can sometimes leave dark spots, pockmarks, and scarring on the skin. These are also types of blemishes.

Hormonal changes are thought to play a role in the formation of acne. Stress may also make acne worse by increasing sebum production, although it’s not considered to be a root cause of this condition.
