Acne

Acne is the result of excessive oil secretion which primarily involves the face, chest, and back. The oil glands essentially become blocked by this excessive oil and then become infected. This problem can be very mild or may become quite severe, resulting in significant and permanent scarring. Almost everyone experiences an occasional flare-up of acne, but it is most prevalent during adolescence, afflicting 85 percent of teenagers to some degree. Hormones and stress are responsible for most cases of acne.

SYMPTOMS

There are two main types of acne: non-inflammatory and inflammatory.

In non-inflammatory acne, there are usually just a few whiteheads and blackheads on the face. A relatively mild type of acne. The majority of people with acne have this type of acne.

With inflammatory acne, the whiteheads become inflamed, and red pimples and pustules develop. In its most severe form, inflammatory acne can cause disfiguring cysts and deep, pitting scars of the face, neck, back, chest and groin.
