Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. It often appears as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts, most frequently on the face, chest, and back. While acne is most common during adolescence due to hormonal changes, it can affect people of all ages. Although not usually serious, acne can impact self-esteem and, in some cases, cause lasting scars if left untreated.
