Acne Online Assessment

Acne is where pores in the skin become blocked. Often, this is due to a substance called sebum which is produced by glands in the hair follicles. Sebum normally helps keep the skin moisturised and water-proof. But too much sebum can cause acne. When pores get blocked they may become inflamed or infected, creating red bumps in the skin. Whilst getting spots is normal, acne involves a lot of spots on the face, back and sometimes the chest. The types of spots include black and whiteheads, pustules and even cysts. Acne is triggered by hormonal changes at puberty or the menstrual cycle but also during pregnancy. At best acne is embarrassing, especially when you are young, but it can also cause scarring.

Asthma

Asthma is a long-term condition that affects the airways in the lungs, causing them to become inflamed and narrowed. This can make breathing difficult and lead to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Symptoms may be triggered by factors such as exercise, allergies, cold air, or respiratory infections. With the right treatment and regular use of prescribed inhalers, most people with asthma can effectively manage their symptoms and maintain an active lifestyle.
