Acne, one of America's most prevalent skin conditions affecting millions of individuals across all age groups, often begins during adolescence but can affect younger children and adults too. The condition predominantly manifests in areas with high oil gland concentration, like the face, chest, neck, back, and shoulders.
Acne breakouts occur when a combination of dead skin cells and excess sebum clog hr follicles, or pores. Hr follicles are attached to sebaceous glands that produce oil sebum, which normally travels through the hr shaft to lubricate the skin surface. When pore openings get blocked by accumulated dead skin cells and sebum, acne forms. A build-up of bacteria can occur beneath the skin's surface when a pore wall bulges out or becomes exposed after blocking from above.
