ACNE
Definition:
Acne vulgaris (acne) is a common skin condition that can affect
people of all ages, although teenagers develop acne most often.
Acne is a disorder that occurs when the sebaceous glands in a person's
skin make too much oil (sebum). The oil combines with cells that
line the walls of these glands and clogs the person's skin pores.
Acne can range from mild to severe. Acne can last for a few months,
many years, or a person's entire life. Acne develops most often
on a person's face, neck, chest, shoulders, or back. |
