Also known as: Acne Vulgaris, Pimples, Breakouts, Zits
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or cysts. It most commonly affects teenagers and young adults but can occur at any age. While not dangerous, severe acne can cause emotional distress and permanent scarring if not properly treated.
