Acne is a common inflammatory skin disease characterized by pimples on the face, chest and back. It occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and/or bacteria.
Acne vulgaris, the medical term for common acne, is the most common skin disease.
It affects nearly 17 million people in the United States.
Nearly 85% of people develop acne some time between the ages of 12 and 25 years old.
Up to 20% of women develop mild acne.
Even it is found in some newborns.
While acne can arise at any age, it usually begins at puberty and worsens during adolescence.
