What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It often manifests as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or cysts, typically appearing on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. Acne can affect people of all ages, and usually appears during the adolescent years due to hormonal changes. The severity of acne can vary wildly, with some patients having only a few intermittent lesions while others can have significant scarring, disfiguring disease.
