Acne

What Is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition caused by inflammation of the hair follicles and oil-producing (sebaceous) glands of the skin. Hair follicles are the tiny tubes that hold the hair in the scalp.

Acne is a disorder resulting from the action of hormones on the skin's oil glands (sebaceous glands), which leads to plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions commonly called pimples or zits. Acne lesions usually occur on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders.

Symptoms

Blackheads and whiteheads — Comedones are enlarged hair follicles filled with sebum. Blackheads are comedones that have opened to the skin's surface. The color of the sebum makes them appear black.
Pimples — Pustules are inflamed hair follicles. The bacteria in the follicle multiply, attracting infection-fighting cells, which release substances that cause irritation and redness.
Nodules and cysts — These are larger infections of the hair follicles that extend deeper into the skin, forming firm, deep bumps and swellings.

Diagnosis
Your doctor will be asked about your menstrual history, patterns of hair growth, cosmetics, facial cleansers and medications and will look for acne comedones, pustules, nodules and cysts on your face, chest, back, upper arms and shoulders.
