Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages. It happens when oil and dead skin cells clog pores, leading to blemishes like blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or even deeper cysts. Acne typically appears on the face, chest, back, and shoulders and can sometimes cause both physical and emotional discomfort.

Types of Acne

• Comedonal Acne: This type features primarily blackheads and whiteheads.
• Inflammatory Acne: Papules (red, tender bumps) and pustules (pimples with pus) characterize this form.
• Cystic Acne: The most severe form, presenting with large, painful, pus-filled cysts deep under the skin.
