Understanding Acne

What Is Acne?

Acne is commonly associated with hormonal changes. It may persist for a period of time, sometimes for several months, and in some cases may continue into adulthood. Acne can occur not only on the face, but also on the neck, chest, upper back and shoulders.

When excessive sebum builds up and becomes trapped deep within the pores, it can combine with impurities and contribute to the development of acne.
