What sort of problem is acne?

A skin disorder: Acne is a hormonally stimulated breakout of the glands of the face and upper chest (the blush areas of the skin) in which the overactive skin secretory glands get blocked and frequently get locally infected. It commonly starts in adolescents, can respond to treatment, but may produce skin scarring. See your dermatologist if you have significant lesions.

Types of acne: There are different types of acne: whiteheads, blackheads, pustules (pus bumps), papules (bumpy skin), nodules/cyst (deep acne) & scars. Acne can affect any part of the body; it can be mild to severe., and can occur at any age. Acne occurs when the sebaceous gland becomes clogged which provides the perfect nest for our skin bacteria. Treatment can be skincare, peels, lasers, better diet, water.
