What is Acne?
Acne is a collection of red, puss filled spots most commonly
seen on the face, chest and back areas. Acne is a build up of bacteria in a
hair follicle produced by the increase of oil in the sebaceous gland. Acne can
be sore and itchy and is most commonly associated with puberty. However this
does not mean adults cannot suffer from this also. There is a possibility acne
can be bought on later in life.
