I've been getting a lot of acne lately, what is causing this and how can I treat it?

Acne is caused by bacteria that live in the pores on your skin. These bacteria can cause inflammation and blockage of the pores, resulting in pimples or blackheads. You can try using an over-the-counter topical acne treatment like benzoyl peroxide to help reduce acne breakouts. Additionally, washing your face twice daily with warm water and gentle cleansers may also help keep your pores clear.
