What is

Acne

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples.
Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages. If self-care remedies don't clear your acne, see your GP doctor who will prescribe stronger medications.
If acne persists or is severe, you may want to seek medical treatment from a doctor who specializes in the skin (dermatologist or pediatric dermatologist).
