Acne

Acne is a common skin disease that affects people of all ages, especially young adults. Most individuals experience facial acne; however the back, chest, shoulders and neck may also be affected. Although there are many types of acne, acne vulgaris is the most common form, affecting an estimated 85 percent of the population at some time in their life. Acne is formed when an excess amount of dead skin and oil blocks follicles on the skin. The inflammation is seen in the form of whiteheads and blackheads. At certain times of life, this process becomes very troublesome, and may be hard to control.

There are ways to treat, control and manage acne. It is important to remember that the earlier you learn to control acne, the less likely you are to have acne scars.
