What is Acne?

     Acne is a skin condition that can cause spots and pimples in a person's back, face, chest, shoulders, neck, upper arms, and chest. It is one of the most common skin condition throughout the world. It normally occurs to both genders, and starts at the puberty stage of a person. Well technically if a person's sebaceous glands activates, acne can already start at whenever age it activates.

     Acne is an inflammatory, and chronic skin disease that can result to whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, cysts, and nodules. The human skin has pores that has a connection to the oil glands under the skin, and that makes the follicles to be connected to the glands and to the pores.

Sebaceous Gland - a small gland in the skin that secretes oily matter (which is called sebum) into the hair follicles in the skin that lubricates the hair and the skin.

Sebum - the oily secretion of the sebaceous gland, it carries dead skin cells through the follicles and to the surface of the skin.

     Let's say the estimated age for a person to have an acne is within the range of 11 years of age to 30 years old. Acne can affect 3 in every 4 person. It is not dangerous, however acne can leave skin scars, and sometimes the treatment depends on how severe or persistent your acne is.

     When pimples grow, the follicles will get blocked and the oil will build up under the skin. The skin cells, hair, and sebum can clump in together into a plug, and once a plug gets infected with bacteria, it will result into swelling. Then a pimple will start to get developed and makes the plug to break down.
