Acne is a common skin condition, usually on the face, prevalent mostly among teenagers. Commonly called pimples, acne can severely damage their self-esteem. A acne is a small pustule or papule that develops when the sebaceous or oil glands become clogged. This leads to swollen and red bumps that are filled with pus. These acne mostly appear on the face, back, chest and shoulders. The reason for their appearance on these particular areas is that, there are many sebaceous glands present in these areas of the skin.
