Understanding Acne and Its Types
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, yet it is often misunderstood. It affects people of all ages, not just teenagers, and can range from mild to severe. While acne is typically associated with puberty, hormonal changes, and oily skin, it can also occur in adults due to a variety of factors such as stress, diet, and genetics. At its core, acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. This blockage creates the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive, leading to inflammation, redness, and the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or even painful cysts.
Types of Acne
Acne is not a one-size-fits-all condition. It presents in various forms, each requiring a specific approach to treatment. Here are the most common types:
Comedonal Acne
This type includes blackheads and whiteheads caused by clogged pores. Blackheads occur when the clogged pore remains open, allowing the trapped oil and skin cells to oxidize and darken. Whiteheads, on the other hand, occur when the clogged pore is closed, creating a small bump. Comedonal acne is usually non-inflammatory but can lead to more severe types if left untreated.
Inflammatory Acne
Inflammatory acne occurs when clogged pores become infected with bacteria, triggering redness, swelling, and tenderness. This type includes papules (small, red bumps) and pustules (red bumps with a white center filled with pus). These blemishes are often sensitive to touch and can leave behind scars if not treated properly.
Cystic Acne
The most severe form of acne, cystic acne, involves large, painful, pus-filled cysts that form deep under the skin. This type is often associated with hormonal imbalances and can result in significant scarring if untreated. Cystic acne requires a comprehensive, often multi-pronged treatment approach to manage.
Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne is characterized by deep, painful pimples that typically appear along the jawline, chin, and lower face. It often flares up during specific times in the hormonal cycle, such as before menstruation. This type of acne can persist well into adulthood and may require targeted treatments to balance hormones effectively.
What Causes Acne?
Acne is a complex condition influenced by several internal and external factors, including:
- Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuating hormone levels, particularly during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, can increase oil production in the skin, leading to clogged pores.
- Excess Sebum Production: Overactive sebaceous glands produce too much oil, which mixes with dead skin cells and clogs pores.
- Bacterial Growth: A bacterium called Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes) thrives in clogged pores, triggering inflammation and redness.
- Diet and Lifestyle: Diets high in refined sugars, dairy, or processed foods can exacerbate acne. Stress, lack of sleep, and poor skincare routines can also contribute to breakouts.
- Genetics: A family history of acne may make you more prone to developing the condition, as genetics influence oil production and skin cell turnover.

At Ascends Natural Medicine, we understand that navigating acne treatments can be overwhelming. To help you better understand our approach to acne care, we've compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions, feel free to reach out to us directly.
Acne is primarily caused by clogged hair follicles, which can result from excess oil production, dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, and genetics are also common contributing factors. At Ascends Natural Medicine, we take a holistic approach to identify and address these underlying causes, rather than just treating the surface symptoms of acne.
The timeline for seeing results can vary based on the severity of your acne, the treatments used, and how well you follow your personalized care plan. Most patients begin to see improvement within a few weeks, but more significant changes may take longer. Consistency is key in achieving lasting results, and Dr. Nandyala will be there to guide you throughout your journey to clearer skin.
Yes, diet plays a significant role in skin health. Foods high in refined sugars, dairy, and unhealthy fats can contribute to inflammation and acne flare-ups. Conversely, nutrient-rich foods like leafy greens, fatty fish, and antioxidants can help support clear skin. As part of your treatment plan, we’ll provide you with dietary guidance to help nourish your skin from the inside out.
Natural treatments can be effective for all types of acne, including severe cases. At Ascends Natural Medicine, we combine evidence-based naturopathic therapies such as nutritional counseling, herbal remedies, supplements, and lifestyle changes to treat the root causes of your acne. For some patients, integrating natural solutions with other treatment methods yields great results, but we tailor the approach to your specific needs.
While our goal is to help you achieve long-term results, acne can sometimes return if the underlying causes, such as hormonal imbalances or poor lifestyle habits, are not maintained. We equip you with the tools and knowledge to manage your skin health over time and prevent future breakouts. Ongoing support and follow-up care ensure that you stay on track for lasting skin clarity.
Yes, lifestyle plays a crucial role in managing acne. Stress, lack of sleep, and unhealthy habits can all contribute to flare-ups. At Ascends Natural Medicine, we provide guidance on managing stress, improving sleep hygiene, and adopting a healthy skincare routine. Our holistic approach includes recommendations for lifestyle modifications that support overall health and clearer skin.
During your treatment plan, Dr. Nandyala will assess your current skincare routine to determine whether your products are helping or hindering your progress. We often recommend switching to gentle, natural products that complement your treatment and won’t irritate your skin. If any of your current products are exacerbating your acne, we’ll provide alternatives that are better suited for your skin.
If you’re struggling with acne and want a more natural, holistic approach, Ascends Natural Medicine is the right choice for you.
