Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. The causes of acne are diverse and can include hormonal, digestive, and bacterial factors. Dr. Le Vi Anh from the Department of Dermatology – Skin Aesthetics at Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital explains that acne is a disease of the sebaceous gland hair follicles that presents in various forms of lesions.
Sensitive skin occurs when the skin’s natural barrier is compromised, leading to increased water loss and easier penetration by external agents. Factors such as UV exposure, pollution, and harsh ingredients in cosmetics can worsen sensitive skin.
