The Definition of Acne
Acne is a skin disorder that affects millions of people around the world. Acne pimples occur when there is an excessive secretion of sebum, a substance from the hair follicles. The excess secretion becomes the target for dust and bacteria to accumulate and develops into acne. Acne effects people of all ages and races. However, the occurrence of acne is unusually high among adolescent people. According to studies, almost 85 percent of adolescents and young adults within the age range of 12 and 24 years old develop acne to a varying degree. . . .
