Skin & acne
Does washing my face more stop acne?
No. Acne is caused by blocked follicles and inflammation, not by dirt. Washing more than twice a day, especially with harsh products, usually makes it irritated and worse without touching the cause. Gentle cleansing twice daily is the useful baseline.
What this does and does not tell you
This is general information, not a diagnosis. Only a clinician can examine you, take your history and run tests. The same symptom has different causes in different people.
If something is sudden, severe, or getting worse quickly, get medical advice rather than reading on.
