Q:What is Acne?
Ans:Acne is the term for plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples, and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms. Acne affects most teenagers to some extent. However, the disease is not restricted to any age group; adults in their 20s – even into their 40s – can get acne. While not a life threatening condition, acne can be upsetting and disfiguring. When severe, acne can lead to serious and permanent scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring.There are so many types of acnes,some are very simple and some are very severe.
Q:What Causes Acne?
Ans:The causes of acne can be classified into bacteria, genetics, hormones and clogged pores.Bacteria is the single culprit required for acne.Genetics is also important,if one of your parents had acne sometimes in their life then you will get too. Hormones(Specifically Testosterone) can cause increased oil(seburn) production clogging the pores with dead skin cells.
So,this was a small definition on acne
