Acne
Acne is a common skin condition characterised by the presence of pimples, blackheads, and cysts, primarily affecting the face, back, and shoulders. Acne is happens when 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 is more severe and can be painful and impact self esteem. 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 at a young age, but it can also cause scarring.

Contraception
Contraception, also known as birth control, encompasses a range of methods and devices designed to prevent pregnancy. These options vary widely, from barrier methods like condoms, which also offer protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), to hormonal contraceptives such as the pill, patches, and injections, which regulate or suppress ovulation. Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) like intrauterine devices (IUDs) provide effective, extended protection with minimal maintenance. Choosing the right contraceptive method depends on individual health, convenience, and lifestyle factors. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss the most suitable and effective options tailored to your personal needs and health circumstances
