Acne (commonly called acne vulgaris) is a skin condition that erupts whenever the follicular pores gets clogged with oil (increased production of sebum oil), bacteria and dead skin cells. It can arise on face, neck shoulder or back. Acne can be in form of blackheads, whiteheads, zits, pustules, cysts. The rupturing of these follicles allows the bacteria to penetrate deeper into the skin causing inflammation. It is common amongst teenagers though increasingly younger people are getting it too.
Acne is not known to cause any serious health problems but may lead to emotional distress. The exact cause of acne is still not clear. Research studies have debunked the relationship of greasy food and chocolate, repeated washing of face and use of sunscreen with occurrence of acne. But pollution, change in hormone levels, squeezing of pimples, scrubbing the skin hard may make the breakout problem worse.
