Acne is a skin condition that results in whiteheads, pimples, blackheads, inflammatory papules, nodules and cysts. When the pores on the skin’s surface blocks, acne develops. Substances that are on the skin's surface might clog the pores. They often arise from a combination of the skin's natural oils and the dead cells that are expelled from the inside of pores
Acne occurs during puberty due to hormonal changes in both men and women. Breakouts start at thirteen and usually reach their peak at age of seventeen, and go away from the beginning of the twenties. But, post-adolescent acne occurs after 25. The common factors that cause acne are: the production of excess oil or sebum, pores becoming clogged by "sticky" skin cells, bacteria, and inflammation.
