Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It can appear as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or cystic lesions and most commonly affects the face, chest, back, and shoulders. While acne is more prevalent during adolescence, it can persist or develop in adulthood. Without proper treatment, acne may lead to scarring and hyperpigmentation. With advanced treatments, it’s possible to control acne and restore clear, healthy skin.
