What is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that affects the oil glands of the skin. Each of the pores in your skin connects to oil glands that produce an oily substance called sebum. Through a connective canal called a follicle, these oil glands carry dead skin cells to the skin’s surface. When the thin hair follicle of these pores clogs, a pimple is formed.
Acne can occur on several different parts of the body including the back, face, chest, shoulders and neck. Although acne is not considered a serious health threat, if left untreated it can cause scars as well as low self-esteem. Pimples, blackheads and other bumps are common signs associated with acne.
