What is Acne?

"Acne" is a catch-all term for a variety of conditions: pimples, deeper cysts that occur on the face, chest, shoulders, back, upper arms and neck, and plugged pores like whiteheads and blackheads. Many people have acne, but serious cases and sometimes less serious ones, can result in acne scars.

First we must understand the different kinds of acne. Acne vulgaris, the most common kind of acne, is caused when the escape pathways, the naturally-produced oily substance called sebum become clogged, allowing the bacterium p. acnes to grow. The area then swells and forms a pimple. At different points in a person's life, this process is much more widespread and difficult to control.

Who gets acne?

Though acne is typically associated with adolescence, the disease is not confined to teenage years: adults well into their 40s can get acne, and many do. Over-the-counter solutions are helpful, but not always adequate. Many people more than 40% of teenagers have severe enough problems with acne and acne scars to require professional attention.

Some people experience acne for the first time as adults. And though acne shows up in young men and women about the same, there are some differences worth noting. Young men are more likely to have persistent, severe forms of acne and acne scars. Conversely, they are less likely to seek treatment for acne scars. Young women are more likely to have intermittent acne due to their menstrual cycle and the composition of their makeup and other cosmetics.
