Acne
Acne is a very common skin condition that causes pimples mostly on face, forehead, chest, shoulders and upper back. There are a variety of causes including genetics, fluctuating hormone levels, stress, high humidity and using oily or greasy personal care products. Acne commonly affects teenagers but can occur at any age.
Acne is a common skin condition where the pores of your skin become blocked by hair, sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells. Those blockages produce blackheads, whiteheads, nodules and other types of pimples. It’s estimated that 80% of people ages 11 to 30 will have at least a mild form of acne, and most people are affected by it at some point in their lives.
Acne can be mild (few occasional pimples) moderate (inflammatory papules) or severe (nodules and cysts).
