What is Acnes ?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with sebum and dead skin cells. It causes white acne, black acne, and acne. Acne is most common in her teens, but it affects people of all ages.
Although there are effective acne treatments, acne can persist. Pimples and bumps are slow to heal, and when one starts to disappear, other bumps seem to appear.
Acne can cause emotional distress and skin scars, depending on its severity. The sooner treatment is started, the lower the risk of such problems.
The signs of acne depend on the severity of the condition.

A blockage or inflammation deep within the hair follicle creates a cyst-like mass beneath the surface of the skin.
