Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when the oil glands in the skin become clogged. It usually appears as pimples or acne lesions on the face, neck, chest, and back. Acne can occur at any age, but it is most common in adolescents and young adults. It is not a serious health threat, but it can cause emotional distress and scar the skin if not treated properly. There are several different types of acne, including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Acne is caused by a combination of factors, including hormones, genetics, and the presence of certain bacteria on the skin.
