Acne
is a skin disorder. Acne occurs when excess oil (sebum) production
combined with dead skin cells clog pores. Bacteria forms in the pores
resulting in red inflamed pimples, pus filled whiteheads, or blackheads.
There are many different forms of acne, however, acne vulgaris is the most
common form. Some people estimate that as many as 80% of teens have some
form of acne at one point. Sometimes people will have perfect skin in
their teen years and will not develop acne until their adult years.
