Acne and Pimples: What They Are, Why They Happen, and How We Treat Them
Acne isn’t just a teenage phase—it’s one of the most common skin concerns affecting both teens and adults. In humid, urban environments like the Philippines, breakouts can become a recurring problem that damages both skin and confidence. Fortunately, acne is treatable with the right approach and expert care.
What Exactly Is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition where pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, or bacteria. This leads to breakouts that may appear as:
- Whiteheads – closed clogged pores
- Blackheads – open clogged pores
- Papules – small red bumps without pus
- Pustules – pimples with white or yellow heads
- Nodules or cysts – deeper, painful lumps under the skin
These can show up on the face, back, shoulders, chest, and even arms.
At our Pasig-based clinic, we see acne concerns ranging from occasional breakouts to deep cystic acne—all of which we treat with customized care.
What Causes Acne?
There’s no single trigger for acne, but these are the most common:
- Excess oil production (sebum)
- Hormonal changes from puberty, menstruation, or stress
- Bacteria buildup on the skin
- Comedogenic products that clog pores
- Humidity, pollution, and sweat—especially common in urban areas
- Diet, like sugar or dairy, which can be triggers for some
The hot, sticky weather we get across the Philippines doesn’t help either. It tends to increase oil buildup, which makes acne more likely to flare up.

Daily Habits That Make a Big Difference
