All About Acne
Acne is most common during adolescence, affecting more than 85% of teenagers, and frequently continues into adulthood. Acne treatment (naturally at home or otherwise) is the most sought after treatment among the younger generation. Acne is a common and chronic skin disorder. It is an inflammatory condition of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. The lesions are usually found on the skin of the face, neck, chest and shoulders. Acne causes a great deal of embarrassment at an age when people tend to be sensitive about their personal appearance. Acne is the most common skin disease. Nearly 17 million people in the United States have it. Wrong eating habits can be the root cause for all types of acne. Chronic constipation is another cause of acne vulgaris.
