What is acne?
Acne is a common skin problem occurs on the face, neck, chest and back. It happens when the pores of the skin become clogged with internally occurring oil known as sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells. This clog cause blemishes in the skin that are often red and swollen. When you have just a few red spot in your face, it knows as a pimple, you have a mild form of acne. Severe acne can mean hundreds of pimples that can cover the face, neck, chest, and back.
