What is Acne?

Acne is an incredibly common skin condition which is normally identified by the presence of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and pus-filled spots (pustules).

It usually starts during puberty but has been known to present in some younger children. Occasionally, young children will develop blackheads and/or pustules on the cheeks or nose.

Acne can range from a few spots on the face, neck, back and chest, which lots of teenagers will have, to a more severe problem that may cause scarring. For most people, it tends to go away by the early to mid-twenties, but it can go on for longer in some individuals.

Acne has also been known to develop for the first time in people in their late twenties and even beyond.
