Acne

Acne can occur when the hair follicles leading to the oil glands get clogged. Found mainly on the face, shoulders, chest, and back, acne affects approximately 80 percent of adolescents and young adults ages 11 to 30, but can also affect older adults and children. Acne in children age 8 or younger is sometimes a sign of an underlying condition and should be evaluated.

For some people, acne outbreaks can be intense, frequent and painful. Some acne can even leave permanent scars. Oral and topical medications can effectively manage even the most severe acne.
