Acne is a very stubborn kind of skin blemish. It is a skin disease that involves the oil glands at the base of hair follicles.
Acne commonly occurs during puberty when the sebaceous (oil) glands come to life – the glands are stimulated by male hormones produced by the adrenal glands of both males and females.
Acne is health threatening but can leave skin scars.
However, there are steps you can take to keep your skin free of acne and prevent future breakouts.
