What is acne?

Acne is a skin quandary that effect’s the oil glands present in the skin. The diminutive pores connect our outer skin to the oil glands which are present under the skin. Sebum is the oil produced by those oil glands. The pores and skin are connected by a canal called follicle. Follicle also carries dead skin, which oil has to bring up to the skin’s surface. When some kind of blockage occurs at the opening of follicle, a pimple grows. More often, these pimples occur on face, neck, back, shoulders, and chest. Although it is not a serious health disease but it can lay grounds for scars. Acne is most common in the age group of 12 to 24.
