Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, not just teenagers. It occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, and inflamed spots. Acne can appear on the face, chest, back and shoulders and may range from mild to severe. If left untreated, it can lead to scarring or pigmentation changes.
