Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that happens when hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes deeper cysts. Acne often appears on the face, chest, shoulders, and back. It’s most common in teenagers but can happen at any age. Hormones, genetics, and certain products can make acne worse. Treatments can greatly improve the skin and reduce the chance of scarring.
