What Is Acne, Different Types And What Causes It





What Is Acne, Different Types And What Causes It

Acne is a skin condition characterized by raised bumps or lesions that primarily occurs on a person's face, neck, shoulders, and back. Oil and dead skin cells plugging the hair follicles cause the raised bumps and lesions. Contrary to the opinion of many teenagers, acne is not a life threatening condition although some types of acne can lead to scars on the skin. For some people, acne can cause social isolation, depression, and anxiety due to concern about their appearance. The emotional issues usually subside in most cases without significant professional intervention.
