Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when oil
and dead skin cells clog the skin's pores. These
clogs cause blemishes in the skin that are often red
and swollen. When you have just a few red spots,
known as pimples, you have a mild form of acne.
Severe acne can mean hundreds of pimples that can
cover the face, neck, chest, and back. While mild
acne is merely annoying, severe acne can lead to
emotional and physical scars.
Acne most often affects teens; more than 85% develop
at least a mild form of this condition. 1 Most
people outgrow acne by their early 20s, though
some—mostly women—can have acne into their 40s or
50s.
A common problem among teens is acne. It can
sometimes but not always disappear by adulthood.
Many problems occur with adult acne. There are also
ways to go about treating the acne.
Acne has many causes. Understanding the various
causes is extremely important in fighting acne. It
is also extremely important in understanding what
helps fight acne. Correct information is vital in
keeping skin clear.
