Description
Common acne is known as Acne vulgaris. Acne forms when skin follicles are clogged by sebum, hair, skin cells, or oils. It is most common in teens and young adults.
There are several types of acne: whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts.
While anyone is susceptible to getting acne, common causes include hormonal changes, side-effects of some medications, putting greasy makeup and products on the face, and genetics.
It is best to see a dermatologist or doctor in order to find the best method to treat your acne. This could range from taking medications to having a specialized skin care routine.
