ACNE MANAGEMENT AND ACNE SCARS
Acne is characterized by areas of skin with seborrhea (scaly red skin), comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules (pinheads), pustules (pimples), nodules (large papules) and possibly scarring. Acne affects mostly skin with the densest population of sebaceous follicles; these areas include the face, the upper part of the chest, and the back.
Acne occurs most commonly during adolescence, affecting more than 96% of teenagers. For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear — or at the very least decrease — after one reaches one's early twenties. But for some it often continues into adulthood where acne scars are deeper and take longer to treat.
